Is it salty?

QI tells me that it is called that because there was a taffy shop that got flooded by the sea
and the guy then sold his stock as saltwater taffy. The name stuck but there is no saltwater involved.

not really
just not much flavor to it
like those candies where they could be any color or shape but it still tastes like bland crap
plus it gets all stuck in your teeth
and they only sell it at the ocean

Yeah, but we make sticks of Rock that have "Brighton Beach" running all the way through them
and then we have fish and chips and it's all ace. But you have clam chowder and that's also pretty ace. But overall I think our chocolate and sweets are better than your. Only I had Milk Duds the other day and they were well tasty, so now I'm not sure again.

( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 13:53, Reply)

green and blacks is overrated
and is now owned by Nestlé or someone

I think I've had their chili chocolate
was lovely

I don't know.
I'm not a massive chocolate eater.

I wasn't saying Green and Black's isn't any good, just that it's not as special as people make out.

I like Ritter Sport stuff best probably but that's because I like chocolate with hazelnts in, and they stuff as many in as they can.

Godiva or Charbonnel et Walker.
(that said I don't really like chocolate at all)

But you also don't like politics
but that's never stopped you weighing in with your misguided opinions.

A chronic dislike of something and chronic ignorance of something are not the same thing.
For example, I am not chronically ignorant of you. DO YOU SEE?

chocolate is for girls
men can like it, but that obsessive "nothing else will do" obsession is for women.

also - hotel chocolat. even their massive ostrich eggs are now reduced to £30. if only i hadn't given up chocolate FOREVER.

that would have been good...... you could have come to me for all your leasehold queries...

zero bars are quite nice and now hersheys has this amazing chocolate bar that is dark chocolate and has blueberrys and chopped almonds and it's lush
also there's ghirardelli which has the ultimate delicious dark chocolate and when i eat it my brain screams FUCK YES LIFE IS AWESOME
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 13:52, Reply)

I went to the ghiradelli shop in San Francisco and you could watch the chocolate being ground up and cooked
and it was all so lush.

it's called intense dark twilight delight
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 26 Apr 2011, 13:55, Reply)

I can't remember now
we bought a selection box with lots of different flavours in it
