I've looked at them from all angles and all I see is a round, more expensive borbon.

I amof course nbu, they are pointless

I'll have to check it out. This is just getting ridiculous. Are their headquarters here in the US? Should I go picket outside?

i have never met anyone else who calls them bourbons. everyone here calls them bonbons.
it is very annoying.

so...would it be unreasonable to karate chop the next person who calls them bonbons (in RL).

on Oreos, i think they are over hyped and expensive for what they are. i'm not a fan of american chocolate. there cookies and muffins are usually the best though!

Hmm. This is going to be harder than I thought. I just spat a mini Baby Ruth bar (half chewed) into the garbage can in the teacher's lounge upon reading Nestle on the label. Luckily the teachers are well used to my oddities and merely went on drinking coffee, with proper shock thrown in when I mentioned Mugabe.

Hmm... have not noticed a "vomit" taste to Hershey's but will pay close attention next time. Someone ought to send me some "proper" chocolate, I will reciprocate w/ a non-vom, non-Mugabe brand.

The only worthy ice cream is McKays vanilla ice cream, nom, nom ,nom

Failing that the Aldi posh stuff or any clotted cream ice cream is an edible substitute, I stamp on your American counterpart !!

I find this a bit disrespectful towards Bourbons TBH.

Bourbons are horrid. Any we found in boxes of mixed biscuits were put straight into the dog.

i guarantee that you will love it madame, even if its melted!

Nemain · 13/04/2010 01:12

Ack. Read half the thread then got munchy so stopped

YABU OP. Oreo's are skanky. Bourbons are heaven!

Dark choc biscuit vs milk choc biscuit plus white sugar fat vs choccy goodness in the middle!

Hersheys = no comment. Not tried.

Got no further than Hershey's comments. It disturbed me. I am not a choc or biscuit fan/eater but the thread made me want some!

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 13/04/2010 13:05

On the subject of ice cream, anyone else a Brucianni fan ??

I back up Madame on Cold Stone Creamery. Tis delish. It's more than that actually; I'm pretty sure they put crack in it.
