I also have a fun fact......I definetly don't have a twix wrapper in my pocket. They'd be one of the last I'd buy, but as if they are in someone's biscuit tim and they offer me it with a cup of tea, it will do the job.
Not sure why I picked a twix wrapper. Seemed a nostaglic choice.
Well I know I want to hang out with all you cunts when people are handing out free Twix. More for me!
Next thing you’ll be telling us Starbursts used to be called opal fruits.
I wouldn’t say Twix is my favourite, but it’s in rotation along with Marathon & Twirl.
Problem with Australia is you don’t get half the bars you do in the UK - so no Toffee Crisp, Yorkie, Lion Bar, Minstrels or the one I have a real soft spot for at the minute… Star Bar.
The only bonus is Whitakers, which is from NZ - nice blocks and their little peanut slabs and Almond Golds are fantastic.
Taking up the Snickers/Marathon thing… I’m still bemoaning the demise of the Texan Bar!!!

Minstrels are in most good Woolies.
Also in Australia vegetable oil is used more often than full cream milk as in the UK. I try to avoid buying Australian Cadbury's chocolate here if I can.
But all our steaks are superb prime Aussie beef!
Anyone remember Aztec bars? I loved those (rum & raisin with caramel) - used to nick one a day from the local paper shop when I was about 11!
Boosts are the best chocolate bar.
Boost is a poor mans Moro.
Moro is a poor man’s Mars Bar.
Australia must be full of the most shit things from each nation 😉
I had a pack of Rolos for the first time in forever last night, and they were utter dog shit.
I know they took a dive after they got Nestle'd but they seem to have gotten way worse

Digestive biscuits are surely the most overrated biscuit on the planet.
Chocolate hob knobs supreme.
In Ireland Cadburys make a delicious purple snack bar. That’s my no1
Good choice indeed.
Unfortunately, they now seem to be half the size they once were.
I have noticed all bars seem to be shrinking. It takes 2 purple snacks to do the job of one in the 90’s. Scandalous
Cadbury's Caramel for the win in that category.
I do love a Picnic, Morrison's often have them on offer. They've got the lot - good balance of textures, bit of fruit, bit of nuts, bit of caramel. Winner!
Picnic is a good choice.
Chocolate bars have obviously been getting smaller for years, it's their answer to inflation. They get to pretend they care about us while still covering their costs.
On a similar note, is anyone prepared to admit that processed food is nowhere near salty enough these days? I know it was ridiculously salty back in the day and it's not purely a bad thing, but almost every shitty food I buy now just doesn't taste of anything. I quite routinely add salt to the weirdest food now: potato cakes are the latest one lol. I've been going on about this for years but nobody else seems to have noticed.
