It would be used on awkward or angry threads in an attempt to diffuse the situation.

Ah I was too late to beg, so I'll say thank you nicely. Thank you nicely.

I always thought these were called Pom Bars, because we used to get the imported ones in the vending machines at swimming, which was the only time I used to have them! Blush I still call them this now...

Another backer of the pom emoticon...

Stealth, have you considered morphing into StealthPomBear at all? y'know, just to underline your commitment

I'm considering simonedepampas after all last night's fun and games Wink

nickelbangBANGbang · 12/11/2010 14:21

Cheeeese - they are pombars, because they are Germna, and there is an umlaut (2 little dots) above the A.

its anglicized name is Pombear because Ba(umlaut)r is the german for bear.

I'm backing StealthPomBear as a namechange for SPB as well! Grin

PyramidofScotcheggs · 12/11/2010 14:25

I'm backing too, that's a great name.
I almost went to town today just for Pom bears but that would have interfered with my sitting down time.

Flowerbomb · 12/11/2010 14:29

Yes please. Must have one of these.

StealthPomBear · 12/11/2010 14:41

KenDoddsDadsDog · 12/11/2010 14:52

Another vote for one!
Think it should be mandatory to all MNetters to offer them at pre dinner drinks.
