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.

Double deckers are my favorite too. The new Cadburys Dairy Milk with wafer is quickly catching up on the top spot though.....incidently have you been here?

I've not been to that site before, though I doubt I get through enough sweets to make it worth ordering.

I am slightly disappointed, though, that their nostalgia section doesn't seem to sell the sweets I want... Tutti Fruities! Tutti Minties! Those things that were like creme eggs but full of minty stuff instead of revolting goo!

And they lie! Look:

...we sell our 'weigh out' sweets by 150 grams which is well over 'a quarter of" a bag of sweets! (100 grams is just over 1/4lb)

Surely 1/4lb is about 113g ? Not that it's that important :)

Ah! Minty Eggs!

Here, it seems, our looting arrangement might break down.

Ah, but it's not a proper quarter of, it's a "quarter of", which is apparently more like a fifth.

Is that including or excluding the thumb?

Yes, at last a Kit Kat it's okay to eat without giving money to Evil Nestlé!

As a classifier type, I also approve of the regathering and rebranding of all Cadbury's bars under the 'Dairy Milk +' scheme. It's an attempt to combat falling sales of individual bars by giving them the boost [sic] of Dairy Milk's reputation, but it's also nice and tidy (-:

Cadbury's version of the Kit Kat was called Bar Six. Dunno when they phased it out, but I recall it cost 7d when my pocket money was only 6d!
