to think it's terribly bad form to start on the boottom layer of chocs?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Finish the top first you heathen.

Grr.

Particularly if your wife has offered you one from her own personal box of chocolates.

Are you the chocolate police?

Yus. That's definitely beyond the pale.

I am the narked police, hactually.

It's okay if you're under 5.
Or if they're your very own chocolates.
Or if there's only strawberry creams left on the top layer.
Or orange creams.
Or hard toffees.....

your name is paul and i was married to you in the 1970s and 1980s. they're my chocolates, i'll eat them my way, thanks. because they are my chocolates. and the coffee ones in both layers are definitely mine.

Most annoying if all the nice chocolates have disappeared from the bottom layer before you notice it's been started!

DP also always opens another carton of milk before the old one is finished because he likes to have the 'new' milk.

I rarely eat chocolate, and thats why I like boxes of chocs as I can have a couple and leave them in the fridge for a couple of weeks having the odd one every so often.

But you NEVER EVER start on the bottom layer before the end of the top layer! i will force myself to eat the Turkish Delight one before I start the bottom layer!

And I love coffe, strawberry and orange creams, and the hard toffees!

The turkish delight ones are some of the first to go (on both layers )

Some people just want to watch the world burn

Only if it is YOUR box and no, by the way the coffee ones are MINE. Lovebunny I am looking at you .

Stop fucking HUMMMINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Start in the bottom before you've finished the top?

Just do what my children do..take bite from bottem of each choc until you find suitable one..

Go wild! Tip them into a bowl.

Sole! Then they will be all mixed together in an unruly, non layered heap!

It's shockingly bad behaviour; I agree Chaosy-poohs.

I have had the traumatic experience of lifting off the empty top layer of a giant tennis court-sized box of Thornton's choccies to find that the lower layer had been pillaged to near extinction, by one -or both - of my errant daughters.

Just when one was expecting to find a burgeoning, fragrant array - instead finding a barren wasteland of empty gold craters.

I wept.

One should always start with the top layer, and not start the bottom layer until all the top layer are finished except the ghastly coconut ones.

Take ALL chocolates to bed. Evict DP (and the cat). Lock door. And rearrange in stomach, small intestine, large intestine... see, layers!

A BOWL!!! What kind of world is this? A BOWL?

I also agree with Maryzy-poohs - the little rustle as you pluck the reluctant choccie from its cellophane nest is all part of the exotique pleasure.

The bowl suggestion makes me shuddddddddddddddddddder.
