OT: Wispa Bars...

Wispa bars mmm... nice, but I did break a tooth on a wispa bar back in the day, did teach me not to eat them straight from the fridge, my dentist thought I was pulling his leg when I told him that I broken a tooth on a wispa bar...

In the days before Wispa the original Aero was a quality bar, but totally ruined once it was acquired by the nasty cheap and evil Nestle, much like them messing around with the king of UK chocolate covered snacks the Kit Kat bar... Nestle you have a lot to answer for ...and don't get me started on Smarties and Fruit Pastilles...

bring back Rowntree Mackintosh...

Wispa bars were my favourite. I thought I was in the minority!

I want a can of Quattro and a Marathon from the tuck shop!

I'll have the Qauttro now but save the Marathon for 'Ever Decreasing Circles' round me Nans before Celebrity Squares with Les Dawson.

Anyone seen my copy of 2000AD?

My friends all tell me to get with the times cos I refuse to call Marathons anything other than that.

Can you folks across the pond help out a poor Yank? I have no idea what a Wispa bar is. I couldn't find it in the Ableton Live User Guide. Is this a new upgrade to be included in Live8?

American chocolate kinda sucks unless you find a "mom-n-pop" local shop. Except Skor bars. We all seem to like Hershey, though.

In America you have the greatest breakfast cereal known to man:

Reeces (Pieces?)

That stuff droove me crazy when I was over there. Just a shame I had to use your weird milk.

Reeces Cereal + Gold Top Milk = HEAVEN.

lol @ the fact that there's a thread on here about this

Not sure about the UK but for a while there was a bit of a trend in chip shops here for battered confectionery - battered Mars bars etc... there was a (now sadly defunct) chipper called the Seashell that did the most amazing battered Curly Wurlys... *sigh* (the same establishment tempted me back to carnivorism)
