Cadburys Flake

Most underrated chocolate bar. Nobody goes, "ooh I really fancy a flake babe, grab me one from the co-op" do they? It's always a Snickers or a Bueno.

But they're the best. Better than all the rest.

AIBU?

A Bueno? Nah that’s waaay down the list.

Yeah I love a flake and its melt in mouth loveliness but it just doesn’t seem big enough.

DeltaFlyer · 07/02/2021 20:39

I like a flake but it's messy..
A twirl on the other hand is the work of a genius. A flake with a coating of extra chocolate

Sparklingbrook · 07/02/2021 20:40

Yuk no. Horrible Cadburys and messy with it.

LadyfromtheBelleEpoque · 07/02/2021 20:41

You are all mad. A 99. Flake plus ice cream. Divine.

FiveGoMadInDorset · 07/02/2021 20:42

A Ripple is much better than a flake

DinosaurDiana · 07/02/2021 20:42

Personally I prefer a Ripple.

NiceGerbil · 07/02/2021 20:42

I always have a flake when I'm in the mood to slink into the bath with sexy music playing, cover the revealed bits with bath foam and then suggestively put something in my mouth.

It's just not the same when to do that with a curly wurly.

I also secretly fancy my cat and get aroused when I feed it. The best bit is when I sensually sniff the cat food before putting it down for the cat.

I assume I'm not unusual in this.

LochJessMonster · 07/02/2021 20:42

Ripple is far superior

TinyCake · 07/02/2021 20:42

Twirl or Ripple
I wish they made a massive Ripple bar

HalfBrick · 07/02/2021 20:43

Half of it gets broken off into the wrapper which you then have to suck up or pour into your gob, not very glam like the adverts suggest. I echo a pp , the Twirl, an encased DOUBLE Flake is better.

BeautifulStar · 07/02/2021 20:43

Flakes make a mess and have too much air in them. I’m not keen on most nestle/Cadbury type chocolate as I have expensive tastes but if I had to get a cheap bar it’d be dairy milk. Flakes are neither here nor there.

Happycat1212 · 07/02/2021 20:44

I don’t really like flakes as someone else said too messy, but snickers?? Who likes them Confused

youngestisapsycho · 07/02/2021 20:47

You break the flake up in the wrapper, undo the end and pour in mouth. Done 😆

DinosaurDiana · 07/02/2021 20:47

A Flake is perfect in a Mr.Whippy though.

Nah same, same.

Also, who doesn't love wearing their best button-up, pale blue cotton shirt while doing laundry and having a nice deep sniff of a white towel?

You need to go back to the adverts 40 to 50 years to understand the ‘ attraction’ Flake!

SionnachRua · 07/02/2021 20:51

Twirl or Flake here. Maybe a Crunchie but they've gone downhill...Twirls and Flakes are somewhat holding their own.

Buenos are shite.

Ilovecaviar · 07/02/2021 20:52

Always best straight from the fridge.....and even better on ice cream and baileys

Do you mean a Marathon ? 😂
rc22 · 07/02/2021 20:53

No. Where Cadbury is concerned Double Decker is the most underrated chocolate bar!!

nursejekyll · 07/02/2021 20:54

Bring back dipped flakes. And Texans.

ellenpartridge · 07/02/2021 20:56

Who on God's green earth goes ooh I really fancy a snicker or a Bueno?! Does not ring true to me 🤣 Flake is obviously better than those 2 but those are both rubbish options

doctorhamster · 07/02/2021 20:57

Can you still get flake praline? I lived off them when pregnant with dc 1.

Oysterbabe · 07/02/2021 20:59

Wispas are 100% better. Crunchies are the worst, an abomination.

Ontheboardwalk · 07/02/2021 20:59

YABU I really want a Ripple now. A much better choice
