    HA HA :rotfl:!!

    My fave choc bar used to be a Lion bar, I loved the advert where the guy wakes up & every thing in his house has been clawed, and he puts on his jeans & they've been clawed.

    I don't eat much chocolate, so when I fancy some I stand infront of the shelves for 20 minutes trying to pick one, I want the best and can't choose between them all!


    I loved Peanut Lion Bars :drool:

    Yes, the lion bar - very textured...
