to be fucking APOPLECTIC with rage

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 28/12/2012 22:28

having just opened a box of celebrations and discovered that they contain Twixs.

Twix's ffs, they aren't chocolates, they are biscuits.

And to add insult to injury, there were only two maltesers. Two in the whole fecking box.

So having had about two sweets each, I'm left (yet again) with a pile of bounty's, snickers and milky fucking ways

I am going to have to raid the New Year's Eve selection boxes at this rate.

LadyKinbote · 29/12/2012 14:36

YABU. I have no chocolate in the house. I would sell my soul for a mini Twix Xmas Envy

trikken · 29/12/2012 14:36

I agree, the jelly babies from Lidl have actual fruity flavour and not just vomity sweetness.

Go back a bit here - you're going to have to raid the New Year's Eve selection boxes? You have NYE selection boxes? What's that all about?

Jelly baby tip noted. Wink

[arf] at iwasyoung Xmas Grin. I did a double take there!

NYE selection boxes are the kids' selection boxes that I didn't give them on Christmas day because they had so much shite and my brother gave them selection boxes.

They don't know I have them.

I was going to keep them for New Years' Eve, as a bit of a bribe, but my have to eat them. The trouble is, if I eat one, I will have to eat all three.

As an aside, I opened the Butlers today, when I was home alone, and they are scrummy.

The Galaxy truffle has gone.

The peanut Revel has gone.

Life is not fair.

Sad

eleventy million bounties

For some reason, that has made me absolutely apoplectic with mirth Grin

pointedlynoresolutions · 29/12/2012 20:42

Thankee kindly, MaryZ! Xmas Grin

AltinkumATEalltheTurkey · 29/12/2012 20:43

YABU, its menial

MikeOxardInTheSnow · 29/12/2012 20:47

Ahhhh, I love an 'apoplectic with rage' thread. Yanbu about the maltesers, how very dare they? But YABU about the twix, they are delicious and you can send them all to me. :o

MagicMN · 29/12/2012 20:52

I agree with iwasyoungonce

Are we all preschoolers? Get a grip indeed.

HazelnutinCaramel · 29/12/2012 20:58

I don't mind losing the Galaxy truffle. I think with the Galaxy chunk abc the Galaxy Caramel, that was more than enough Galaxy to go round.

YANBU about the lack of Malteser though. That is an absolute disgrace and I'd be writing a strongly- worded letter to Mr Mars about it.

MoonlightandRoses · 29/12/2012 21:03

Y all BU (except for the person with the DIY option) - those miniatures never taste as nice as the full size.

[Hands grip to Magic as requested and leaves thread in search of some proper chocolate.]

MaryChristmaZEverybody · 29/12/2012 21:10

Oi, Magic, whadya mean?

I have loads of grips. Unfortunately I have more Bounty's Hmm

creme eggs and twirls are lovely trikken - just tucking in now.

KurriKurri · 29/12/2012 21:55

Twix are good, - why do people take against them? - my DD will have nothing to do with a twix, yet she will happily consume the chocolate covered vomit that is a Bounty.

Young people eh? - I blame the parents.

trikken · 29/12/2012 22:10

MajesticWhine twirls are ok, but im really not in the mood for them. have never liked the creme eggs tho as I find the creme too sweet.

PiratePetesPotty · 29/12/2012 22:23

YANBU about there being twixes, I hate the bastards (though will still eat them if there's nothing else) and maltesers are the best ones. I do love the bountys and milky ways though, it's the 5 million mars bars that piss me off. We didn't bother with a tub of celebrationy shit this year, went for quality over quantity and got a box of lindor instead.

whattodoo · 29/12/2012 22:32

I love milky fucking ways. You can mush them to a chewy morsel. Or put one in each cheeck and do gangster impressions.
And they're the choc that won't spoil your appetite
