    Embarrassed to admit I bought a couple of boxes of those coco pop rocks things today :o:D :cool:

    I bought "a few" too. You can't really go wrong at 20p and they are not red flagged on their he nutrition chart :D.

    That said, I am still not sure what they are - what are "Soft & Crunchy Chocolatey Tastes" supposed to be? :huh: - they don't even say what kind of cereal they are!
