lol Nolls

Do you fancy a chocolate coated pooberry?

:-)

Well keep this thread going and I will definately be on a diet . Starting with chocolate ugh

double good result.........

$20

and

I haven't eaten chocolate since the "maggot episode"

:-D

on a different subject......... I returned the "pooberries" yesterday and got a $6 refund.

good result then :-D

On Friday there was a card in our letterbox, informing me that there was a registered letter at the post office.

I was at home all day, why didn't the postman come to the door? grrrrrr

I got to the PO this morning......... the letter was from Cadbury, with a "gift card" worth $20.

I'm not spending it on chocolate.

there's an idea.........

chocolate covered witchetty grubs

yum.

Maybe the new American owners of Cadbury looked up Australia in their encyclopedias and found that Australians eat bugs and grubs and thought they would like them covered in chocolate. They just didn't realise that it wasn't ALL Australians. ;-)

Ah! the penny has dropped perhaps they make chocolate covered grubs for baby Meerkats like baby Oleg, simples! ;-)

Just got off the 'phone, with a rep from C*db*ry

She asked the same questions as the rep on Saturday....... weird.

They don't want the maggoty chocolate (I wonder why :-) lol )

But they are sending me a voucher.

Don't know what sort of voucher, or the value.

I hope it's not for chocolate maggoty frogs.

Not Cadbury's, but many years ago I returned a chocolate product which contained a 'maggot'.
The firm informed me it was a cocoa moth larva and sent a complimentary box of more chocolate bars.

I was just glad that I'd found it in daylight and not eaten the bar at the cinema without looking at the contents.

I'm sure I read that most chocolate has insect bodyparts, legs etc in it.

Still better than reading about someone eating fries in the cinema that bit on something odd that really freaked them out..........partly cooked mouse!! I stick to my peanut butter cup icecream.

The on-line BBC news - features and magazine - has a useful article called "The 30-day worms, crickets and cockroach diet" - sorry I couldn't find a hyperlink

I didn't think it would be possible.......

but I'm going off chocolate

:-(

You should try some of these

yum! :-D

there's a beetle that invades the chocolate bean crop and that is usually the source of maggots in the product

similarly with tinned tomatoes - you can find a caterpillar in a tin - they are endemic in the production of tomatoes which are to be canned

Had something similar many years ago and all I got was a booklet of the chocolate fly!!!

Ah you have them bang to rights they say their product is suitable for vegetarians!

Reckon at least £100,000 for the stress and upset it has caused to you infringing you life choices, and breaches of hygiene codes, mind you I would steer clear of a lifetime supply they might simply liquidise the creepy crawlies and serve you up a special batch ;-)

Expect to see you in the Daily Mail looking sad and holding up the maggot any day soon soon ;-)

I remember biting into a cream slice and finding a dead wasp Ugg!

Karob?

melt it and pour it over almonds

:-D

chocolate in a hot climate ... maybe not a great idea

Cadburys are dead and buried they exist only as a logo for the products of an evil USA food conglomerate. Be happy that the maggots are at least natural protein. Nothing natural about the rest.

If anybody knows of a close substitute for Bournville almond chocolate please post.

yup.

I like chocolate........... but I think I'll be giving it a miss for a while.

Definitely won't eat it anywhere I don't have good light.

We opened the Christmas stocking on Wednesday evening........ I wonder how many maggots we've eaten??

barf :-(
