Hi Zedonist

What's brought this on?

I'm old enough to remember the advert for Topic, it had the tag line of "It's got a hazelnut in every bite".

Then came the joke of "What's got a hazelnut in every bite" - squirrel sh*t.

So I'm in the Marathon camp :)

Dark chocolate hobnobs are the ultimate :P dipped in tea :squeeze:

Or biting off the ends of a twix or orange kitkat then sucking tea/coffee through them :bounce:

If you've never tryed it do it!

Would it work with a ripple or twirl?? Hmmm...

No, Peanut Treets were the same as Peanut M+M's

Chocolate Treets are the same as Minstrels, the slogan was 'Melts in the mouth, not in the hand'

Another thing, the slogan 'Mars a day makes you work, rest and play' was penned by our old favourite Murray Walker when he was in advertising.

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Correct Zedonist - but my fave is anything with Cadburys chocolate. I find the Galaxy chocolate too slimey (if that's a word I can use to describe chocolate). My other half loves Galaxy but only when its been in the fridge...
