To jump up and down on the chocolate coin maker and deny all knowledge?

What a shite thing it is! An hour to do it and it doesn't even print the foil rope rely.

The 'Tude asks to do it yet I end up doing it all!

Avoid it! Let this be a warning.

Ohhh riiiight

I opened the thread thinking you wanted sex with a guy who makes chocolate coins Grin

Lemongrab · 13/01/2014 18:43

I hear you.
My dd had one of those when she was younger. I was so glad when she lost interest.

Fairylea · 13/01/2014 18:46

Ours suddenly "broke". Most hated Christmas present ever (by me anyway!)

IHatePopUpTents · 13/01/2014 18:51

I had a lipgloss maker when I was younger, I remember the mins hours of fun I had with it.. My dm threw it away and spent £10 in boots buying me 'lipsticks' instead!!

livelablove · 13/01/2014 18:53

YADNBU blinking thing. I hate the way it doesnt seal up the edges. Another bad buy was the Supergrafix tracing thingy. That is rubbish. At least dd got some fun out of the chocolate coin maker by eating the melted chocolate out of the bowl thing a bit like a fondue.

There was me thinking that "chocolate coin maker" must be a euphemism for something filthy. Though I'm not quite sure what. Confused

I ate the melted chocolate, we'll I made them so it was rightfully mine Grin

I bloody wish it was a filthy new name.

All this time I thought it was my incompetence that was the reason for it not printing on the foil! And you have to fanny around so much getting the coins sealed that they melt all over your fingers Hmm

tethersend · 13/01/2014 19:07

Is it like the chocolate lolly maker?

Because that sucks Satan's cock.

Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2014 19:07

We had one. It took hours to make one coin, and they are made of dog chocolate IMO. It disappeared to Mum's and then she took it to the tip. Grin

DS had a mashmallow making cost a fortune in ingredients, let's just say bough a huge bag of mashmallow and told him it was like the cake kits you can buy.

Its made with Cadburys actually. You don't get chocolate with it, you have to get your own.

Stepdad has the lolly maker.

Don't you? I am sure it came with some-this was years ago. Wow-you buy your own and it's still awful. Sad

SarahAndFuckTheResolutions · 13/01/2014 19:13

I suspect this is what happened to Mr Frosty when I was little.

A sudden, violent attack by my mother. She always hated Mr Frosty and the Playdoh barber's shop.

I hate the Playdoh Ice-cream maker. It's the work of the devil and my mother was the one who bought it for DS. I believe this is what they mean by 'revenge is a dish best served cold' as she's waited over 30 years to inflict this on me.

tethersend · 13/01/2014 19:17

Oh god, dd has the play doh ice cream maker too.

Do our friends hate us?

Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2014 19:18

No real hate comes as one of those dinosaur excavation kits. Sad

My mum got my son the PlayDoh Sweet Shoppe. She also got him the few add one. Fucking horrible, i spend more time picking the playdoh out as he has blocked it than I do anything else.

I bought my sister Mr Frosty one year. It is shite. I got one of those slushy maker cups that I need to try out

I second the dinosaur excavation kits. We ended up using a real hammer and chisel to get the piece of crap out and it's just lay at the bottom of the toy box ever since.

SarahAndFuckTheResolutions · 13/01/2014 20:33

I took MN advice once and bought a kilo of beads and glitter for one child's birthday, for the child of a woman who had mastered the art of the nasty put down disguised as innocent remark.

Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2014 20:34

When DS2 and his friend did the dinosaur excavation, they still had their school uniforms on. Navy sweatshirt, and grey trousers. I forgot what they were doing. Walked into the living room and it was everywhere. I ended up hoovering DS2's mate with the attachment before he went home. Blush

Chrysanthemum5 · 13/01/2014 20:39

Oh I feel your pain! DD was desperate for this, and against my better judgement, I asked my SIL to buy it for her. It took an hour to make 2 rubbish coins.

We also have the playdoh ice cream parlour, and playdoh pizza maker. I hate them both.

Spermysextowel · 13/01/2014 20:42

I think I would fear an actual live dinosaur less than I fear the excavation kits.

grumpalumpgrumped · 13/01/2014 20:42

We have a spinny chocolate maker but not a coin maker. DM brought it, I had a Mr frosty, hadn't thought she was getting revenge.

Sparklingbrook · 13/01/2014 20:43

Grin Spermy

tshirtsuntan · 13/01/2014 20:44

The coin maker is far,far worse than the choc Lolly maker (yes we have both of the bastards...I must of been very bad in a previous life Grin ) I also couldn't believe the bloody Rob dogs sell them with no chocolate in...never again!
