Yodels, Ring Dings, and Funny bones are the best three of the lot. You should buy em. You'll love em. If you don't love them, there's something wrong with you.

Man, that's one messy webpage!

Yodels look like [google]Cadbury's Mini Rolls[/google]

WTF? Devil Dogs are the best! How could you seriously say anything else is? We should probably go to war over this, tbh.

We don't have fancy Strongbows. Probably no cans, either.

Devil Dogs are second tier!

Man, that's one messy webpage!

Thats cause they divert much of their awesomeness to their tasty products, so the website design sector takes a big hit.

Maybe they let the cakes do web design by smashing them into keyboard during sugar-induce manias.

that site looks worse then most i saw in the early 90's...terable use of tables.

I have a pack of [google]Jaffa Cakes[/google] untouche din my cupboard. What am I turning into?

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:27 am

I bought a pack of 4 eclairs yesterday. Went home, watched Star Trek, and during so, ate all 4

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:30 am

That's why I never buy cream cakes

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:32 am

Yeah. And it was an episode I'd already seen. Bad times all round

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:51 am

We have that fancy Virgin media mega pack that gives you all the channels and all the catchup stuff.
We set the TV to record every episode of Pokemon on every channel just this monday, and we already have about fifty episodes

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 9:59 am

Ha. I have the basic Virgin. Which means when I flick through channels and see something I like the look of, it says 'Sorry, you're not subscribed'

Surely it would be a good idea to not let you see channel listings for things you can't watch? All the time I'm sad because I don't have UKTV Gold.
Dave's good, but not UKTV Gold good.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 10:18 am

Dave's good if you like Top Gear repeats.

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 10:23 am

I do.
And they have QI, Have I Got News For You, Buzzcocks, Live at the Apollo... s'all good.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 1:08 pm

I ended up buying apple turnovers at lunchtime because of you

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:11 pm

This thread has taken a turn for the confusing. How is 4 eclairs bad time all around?

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 6:17 pm

They were'nt very good eclairs?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 7:01 pm

Should have gotten the Devil Dogs instead then, I guess. Lesson learned, hopefully!

Well I was going to save them so after a meal I'd be able to go 'Hey, time for an eclair!' which I can't do as they're all gone. Plus, I feel guilty for some reason, even though I've never been conscious about my weight. Must be a socially programmed thing.

Fixed.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 2:21 pm

You are so wrong that I just can't fathom how you reached your conclusion. I guess you just can't appreciate the subtlety of flavor in the Devil Dog cake and prefer the sugargasm of the Ring Ding instead. That's all I can figure out.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 11:15 pm

Sugargasm?

That's all sorts of wrong.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Oct 06, 2008 2:58 am

Exactly. Have a tea instead.

The powder hadn't solidified to a solid chunk of electrolytes? That's impressive that the emergency food rations were still good.

What kind of stuff do you want me to send out your way?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 9:24 am

Haha. Lucky dip is good. Maybe a mix of edible, inedible, and questionably edible stuff again

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Oct 07, 2008 10:17 pm

You sent the most obscure American food ever, man.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 3:36 am

I sent them backpacking food.

I'm open to suggestions, but some possibilities for next time I'm thinking of:

- Slim Jims
- Kool-Aid
- Hamburger Helper
- Lucky Charms
- Jones Soda (though I doubt it will ship well)

If only I could ship alcohol. Then I could send them some really great Bourbon you probably won't find outside Kentucky.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:15 am

Chris, you can send me those extra Jaffa Cakes if you want

And those emergency food rations were delightful

Lucky Charms would be delightful, as a box of them here (imported) costs about $17

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 11:59 am

Absolutely vile. Surely these are mispackaged dog chews?

I still had some of the 2005 stuff left over. It had moved with me twice

Tastes a bit like salty medicine

Me looking rough with a Pop Tart and cup of tea

Pop Tarts are good, but you need to get accustomed to their hotness before you start enjoying them.
Lucky Charms are still great, but they make my tea taste bland

Thanks for the package

Questionmarktarius · Post by **Questionmarktarius** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 7:12 pm

Deep-fried poptarts are bliss.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:54 pm

Ewwwww....what? I think they're fine (and unhealthy enough) on their own. What would possess you to even try that?

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 6:50 am

Probably the same thing that possessed people to make deep-fried Snickers bars.

Yeah, Slim Jims are probably the most disgusting meat-flavored product I've ever put in my mouth. But it makes you appreciate everything else you eat. "Well, at least it's not Slim Jims." Were I you, I'd get rid of the rest, or find a dog to give them to.

If you've never had Pop Rocks before, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:56 am

I've never had Pop Rocks before, but I've had popping candy.
Over here we have chocolate with that stuff inside it. It's a bit crazy

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 4:54 pm

Cake topped with some of the M&Ms.

Trifle containing 2 types of Jell-O and Pop Rocks.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 8:32 pm

What are those little silver balls along the border of the cake?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 9:04 pm

Sugary silver balls!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 11:03 pm

That stuff looks pretty good actually.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Mar 24, 2009 12:34 pm

It certainly checked the "sweet" box

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 4:57 am

you're keeping some for when I'm back, ya?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 8:07 am

Some what?
Most of the stuff this time is perishable, so it depends when you're back

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 2:27 am

The Gatorade will keep for a long while, though it might be a little less powdery and more chunky.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Mar 28, 2009 1:40 pm

We threw the rest of the old sachet away

The new stuff's going quite quickly, as we're drinking it after jogging for lols and to restore salt.

Aniseed balls? They're awesome.

... and mentioning aniseed makes me want som sambucca. Mmm.

Speaking of tasty snack food, I foolishly went and ate an entire box of chocolate and caramel eclairs after cleaning my room. I just can't save snack food, I always eat it all in one go

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 12:26 pm

I don't like sambucca

My housemate ate 11 krispy kremes the other day

Yuka · Post by **Yuka** » Sun Mar 29, 2009 1:24 pm

Lucky.
I'm just about to pop down to Tesco's because you can get 4 big packs of Walkers for £4. That's 24 bags of crisps! Magic.

... they'll be eaten by Thursday.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 12:31 am

Hope you got some of their 89p easter eggs too!

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 8:37 am

I'm rather curious if Golbez ever tried that vegan Cadbury creme egg recipe, and if he did, how it turned out.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 3:56 pm

Not yet. I don'r have a double boiler (what is that anyway?) or a ceramic bowl for that matter, although that part makes me wonder about how they want you to melt the chocolate in a ceramic bowl. At any rate, it's involved so I haven't done it yet.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:15 pm

Ran out of Pop Tarts the other night.
All that remains now is the pack of Jaffa Cakes, most of the Tabasco, half of the maple syrup, a few packs of Pop Rocks, and 2 Slim Jim sticks
