Cadbury's make them and they cover them with chocolate

[venta]

Pretty much my favourite chocolate bar is a Double Decker. It's run a close second by a Marathon (which I still resolutely refuse to call a Snickers because, well, it's just silly. And "eating your snickers" sounds like some sort of shoddy euphemism. But I digress.)

So, Double Deckers and Marathons ?

Well, you can now buy a Double Decker with nuts in. Which tastes, not unsurprisingly, like a cross between the two.

Eeuw! My two least favourite chocolate bars! I bet you like Boost, too, don't you?

Anything with rice krispies, nougat or nuts in it is bad.

I don't dislike Boost, they've never impinged on my consciousness all that much though. I tend to think of them as some sort of Johnny-come-lately wannabe chocolate bar, and would only get round to eating one if the world appeared to have run out of everything else (except Fry's Turkish Delight, and that Fry's chocolate cream stuff, which are both foul and should on no account be eaten).

Fry's Turkish Delight: mmmmm

Fry's Chocolate Cream: acceptable, but the mint cream one is waaaay nicer. Had a big 'thing' on those about 3 years ago.

My current big 'thing' is for mint Aeros.

Great - when the Apocalypse comes and Civilisation As We Know It breaks down, I shall go looting with you. I'll have all the nice things, and you can have all the revolting cack and it sounds like we'll both be happy :)

A profitable arrangement!

Double Decker is 28 (introduced 1976) and Boost 19 (introduced 1985). Compared to Fry's Turkish Delight (80 / 1924) they're both Johnny-come-lately types!

Double Decker's are great. They're crunchy, in a chewy sort of way -or so the original ads went. You youngsters probably won't remember that! (Don't know how long they ran those for). Boost were essential student fare, although they're a bit too stodgy for me these days.
