    You won’t like them now, they are nothing like they used to be.

    I used to like aero and then they changed it into something horrible and oily. Then people stopped buying it so they introduced disgusting limited editions with weird flavours when all they had to do was use decent chocolate. The same happened to KitKat and digestives. When an old favourite starts to taste cheap and nasty you'll usually find the nestle logo somewhere on the wrapper😝

    I think its very kind of them to make chocolate I don’t like 👌

    If chocolate tastes greasy or oily it's because of the vegetable fat used to save money instead of cocoa butter which gives a much better flavour and texture.  I made the mistake of treating possum and me to a Walnut Whip about 10 or 12 years ago.  They were a favourite of mine in my youth but we both spat out the first mouthful and binned the rest. 

    Now, we read labels and contents and reject any with palm oil, palm sugar, other oils...   Love the salty nut ones.

    I was just thinking about the Duncan’s walnut whips, they’re horrible now.
    onto Lidl,  their own mars bars are very nice.  My OH likes their version of picnic with the peanuts.

    So it might but an electric toothbrush sorts that out. 
    At least it won’t give me fat hips. 
    No, no, no.  Mustn't use 'lectric for brushing teeth when it can be done manually.  You are destroying the plant like the nasty people who used petrol mowers instead of hand push jobbies.

    I use an electric brush but my leccy supplier is 100% wind powered apparently. So less plastic waste in the long run and better hygene so less medical waste too :# at least that's what I tell myself. I've tried out some of the new bamboo brushes though and they're really good.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
