Are they implying that these are the only flavours in the whole world? What about orange? Or coffee? Or fish? Or garam masala? If that's the best they can do you can keep them, mate.    Posted:   Dec 20, 2018 - 10:40 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Hmm - I see they're "Available in all flavors [sic] - Chocolate, Vanilla, Banana and Salted Caramel".

You're upset, right? I can tell you're upset about something.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 12:16 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) I have a Mars bar set aside for this weekend; I'm just not sure I can wait that long. Scrolling through one of those "British Marketplace" websites hasn't helped, either--it's like living in a never-ending episode of Open All Hours.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 12:36 PM     By:   Xebec   (Member) I have a Mars bar set aside for this weekend; I'm just not sure I can wait that long.

That said, I'm back in Blighty next week and will be stuffing my face with crisps and chocs for a month. I hope there's a Haribo factory working overtime somewhere too.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 12:41 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Yes, "boringiest"---to you, boringiest to YOU, Mr. "A View to a Kill is a 7/10." Bastard. I'll be eating that Mars bar TODAY. P.S.- If you think to do it, please bring me back a sackful of Mars bars.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 12:47 PM     By:   Xebec   (Member) Yes, "boringiest"---to you, boringiest to YOU, Mr. "A View to a Kill is a 7/10."

It doesn't just stop me from collecting scores, it also stops me from being kind to others. However i will bring some back and eat them myself. Replacing Mars with Double Deckers, Twirls, etc.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 12:49 PM     By:   dtw   (Member) Mars bars are a shadow of their former selves ever since the King Size was done away with. Don't let me start to reminisce about the Dairy Milk Pocket Pack.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 12:53 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Based on an FSM Marketplace transaction, I have about as much faith in Canadia's (aka "Trudeau Turf") postal morons as I do in Liverpool's chance of ever winning The Premiership again. The supermarkets here actually stock numerous UK "treasures" like Irn-Bru, those "digestive" biscuity things, Bounty bars (God, they're delicious), several jarred curry sauces, and those Lion chocolatey things. It all makes me nostalgic for a country I wasn't even born in and have only visited once; I'm a lifelong Anglophile (disgusting, I know). As I've mentioned previously in this thread, I've an unhealthy obsession with the UK's Curly Wurly bar...it's the closest thing to our long-defunct Marathon bar.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 12:54 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Mars bars are a shadow of their former selves ever since the King Size was done away with. Don't let me start to reminisce about the Dairy Milk Pocket Pack. While I can't attest to their previous incarnation--is anything "as good" as it "used to be"?--the present Mars bars are infinitely superior to their US counterpart, the Milky Way, which is not the same as the Euro Milky Way.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 1:24 PM     By:   Xebec   (Member) Based on an FSM Marketplace transaction, I have about as much faith in Canadia's (aka "Trudeau Turf") postal morons as I do in Liverpool's chance of ever winning The Premiership again.

Patak's curry sauces are very reliable and made back where i'm from. The factory used to be half a mile away from the pub teams i'd play for. Every Christmas we'd ask for and receive a giant hamper to raffle off. It was the thing to win. We also had a Barr's factory in our town for years doing Irn Bru and Tizer and whatever else they did. I loved Tizer. Curly Wurlys are alright but i probably ate too many as a kid and don't even think about them no more. Bountys are great. I scoff one of them every now and again. Canadia has something similar even down to the packaging but called Oasis or something random like that. Curly    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 1:29 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Yes! Patak jarred sauces are a fine "pinch hitter" for the times when one cannot get actual Indian food (which I simply "must" have at least once a month; it used to be every damned week!). I have a Chicken Vindaloo "problem", so Patak is a surefire remedy for that.    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 1:39 PM     By:   Xebec   (Member) Yes!

Unfortunately i developed an allergy to clove which is in most jarred sauces hidden under "spices" so now i avoid Indian food, which i loved!    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 1:54 PM     By:   dtw   (Member) While I can't attest to their previous incarnation--is anything "as good" as it "used to be"? ...as they say, "Nostalgia's not what it was..." Must say I've not eaten a Curly Wurly for years. Though I was a member of the "Curly Wurly Club"* as a kid, and still have the badge somewhere to prove it. *(It was pretty much just the badge, really. Ha)    Posted:   May 8, 2019 - 4:47 PM     By:   Last Child   (Member) Chocobliss, wherefore art thou???    Posted:   May 9, 2019 - 10:24 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Unfortunately i developed an allergy to clove which is in most jarred sauces hidden under "spices" so now i avoid Indian food, which i loved! In light of your tragic clove allergy, I will eat this Saturday's Chicken Vindaloo meal (and garlic naaan) in the most somber manner possible.    Posted:   May 9, 2019 - 11:51 AM     By:   Xebec   (Member) Unfortunately i developed an allergy to clove which is in most jarred sauces hidden under "spices" so now i avoid Indian food, which i loved!

Don't let me start to reminisce about the Dairy Milk Pocket Pack. Maybe it was reading those patented, cynical FSM posts, but I was strangely dissatisfied with my most recent Mars bar experience. Perhaps it was because I ate it under duress...I'll search for another UK-based candy bar this week.    Posted:   May 17, 2019 - 9:56 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Had a "weak" moment at my local Brit market shop and bought Curly Wurly bars, Jelly Babies, Bounty bar, and a Euro-Kit Kat. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until this flu bug moves on until I "dig in" to them. I asked the attractive shop girl--I say girl, but she was old like me--and she remembered the Old Jamaica bar, which some of you have sweetly reminisced over in this very thread. You see, I try and bring the FSM board discuasions "to the world."    Posted:   May 17, 2019 - 2:25 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Saw a prog the other day you woulda loved jim - The greatest chocolate adverts of all time on ch5 uk tv - they covered just about everything from the 50s onwards, milk tray man, fruit n nutcase with frank muir, fry's Turkish delight, Texan bar, the gorilla playing drums to Phil Collins, 9 different milky bar kids, after 8s, celebrties discussing Wispa, and they mentioned bars that didnt survive, like old jamaica etc    Posted:   May 18, 2019 - 5:19 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Saw a prog the other day you woulda loved jim - The greatest chocolate adverts of all time on ch5 uk tv - they covered just about everything from the 50s onwards, milk tray man, fruit n nutcase with frank muir, fry's Turkish delight, Texan bar, the gorilla playing drums to Phil Collins, 9 different milky bar kids, after 8s, celebrties discussing Wispa, and they mentioned bars that didnt survive, like old jamaica etc Thanks, Bill. Some enterprising YouTube person compiled a playlist of as many of those adverts as could be found without actually uploading the program ("programme") you mention.     Non-Film Score Discussion: I really miss Aztec Bars (1967 - 1977)    << < 5 6 7 8 9  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
