The chocolate and sweets appreciation thread

Barnett's Mega Sours gave me painful teeth for about a month. They have a warning on the label. Sour is a great flavour though.

Operation FindMeACaramac was successful.

Spar had them on the shelves.
Fucking 72p each.
Criminal.

I bought 2.

72p! Jesus.

I’m craving one now, please tell me they taste horrible these days.

caramac is one of my all time favourites. When I was bored and made my giant walnut whip for pimp my snack, I'd been planning to make a giant gold bar out of melted caramacs instead but they were impossible to find even then.

Alas, it was a golden treat that has brightened my miserable Thursday afternoon.

The shop was price gouging though, everything was massively overpriced. Only in there because it has a post office counted in the back.

Just had one of these, pretty decent.
Mildly salty, quite delicious.

I've been to several petrol stations recently and failed to find Revels. What is going on?
Car journeys are pointless without the shit-chocolate roulette game.

I'm a big fan of plain chocolate and at just 30p a bar from Sainsbury's these are bargainalicious

I don't think many people get in the car just to eat Revels but you do you. ;)

What is going on?

Brexit/covid/structural problems in supply chain

at just 30p

Asda Smart Price is also perfectly acceptable cheap chocolate

I have no reason to stop otherwise. (apart from the dog).

Oh, how I miss these:

Found these in Wales on the weekend. Smashed the packet last night (they were supposed to be ride fuel oops). Did enjoy.

Gelatine I assume?

I'm not the kinda guy to read ingredients while panic buying offie sweets.

I still have the packet though and it says suitable for vegetarians. Can't see gelatine mentioned.

Are you vegan or does gelatine pose a specific issue for you?

I bought some vegan stuff the other day and only afterwards spotted it had palm oil in it. So sometimes I do actually read the ingredients I guess.

I'm not 100% vegan but I don't eat gelatine

Oooh , I loved these …. ate them on my way home from school every day - if I was in the money …. but ….. now I have no teeth left - which the dentist put down to too much sticky toffee sweets , or too much amphetemine …. ! ? ….

Fair. My food choices are more often than not dictated by "if I don't get calories now Ima start shooting" rather than "will this contribute to deforestation". The exception these days is artificial sweeteners. Fucking arsehats putting sweetener in stuff like Lucozade. It was literally named after a sugar and now it's got sweetener in it. Fuck off. Some of us need sugar.

Straight to the golf club thread but Fortnum and Mason Christmas Coal.

I remember using Toffos to remove a couple of my milk teeth

The very definition of confectionery crack. Oh my god....
