AgentZigzag · 26/03/2011 17:28

Got to be a screwball with the added extra of a bit of chuddy Grin

Why don't they do jokes on the wooden thingy any more (name escapes me at the min)?

'lolly stick'

Oh yeah, duh Grin

shockers · 26/03/2011 17:32

This was one of the more in-depth conversations we had in the staffroomGrin.

Oh, and Nobbly Bobbly came out top.

Gingefringe · 26/03/2011 17:32

Nobbly bobbly has a lot more calories though about 219 compared to fab 90. Fruit Pastilles lolly is best at 60 calories - I'm eating one now.
I love them all.

I think if you get the urge for a lolly - my view is bugger the calories and go for the one you want!

BTW Shockers - when I worked, we once had a conversation that lasted days regarding the way your taste buds changed once you reached 30 - like suddenly liking olives or picking the green or yellow sweetie over the red or black one.

I LOVE Nobbly Bobbly lollies, DS (5) prefers Fab lollies. For some reason Fruit Pastille lollies make DS beserk so they have been banned. I tried one to see if it would perk me up, sadly it didn't :)

smileymam · 29/03/2011 19:07

i have always loved fab lollys, so many nice childhood memories, but nobbly bobblys are simple awsum

dorie · 29/03/2011 19:20

YANBU. Nobbly Bobbly has choc. Fab does not.

dorie · 29/03/2011 19:22

Except for a very skimpy, thin excuse for choc on the top.

ForeverNamechanging · 29/03/2011 19:23

Another vote for the mighty FEAST mmmmm

peeriebear · 29/03/2011 19:26

Definitely Nobbly Bobbly :)

marriednotdead · 29/03/2011 20:31

Agree, Nobbly Bobbly.

However, nothing has yet topped the MaxiBon for me.

Underachieving · 29/03/2011 20:54

YABU, you only put one "far" in the OP.

To have been being reasonable you should have used language appropriate to the topic at hand. Thus you would have said...

AIBU to think the nobbly bobbly is far far far far far faaaaaar better than a fab?

Then I could have agreed. Grin

poochela · 29/03/2011 21:08

Nobbly Bobbly rules. Fact.

Bluemoonrising · 29/03/2011 21:21

Of the two, nobbly bobbly. but a toffee crumble is the awesome-ist ice lolly ever.
