The old persons
snack of choice in my day was either, the walnut whip as stated, the turkish delight of the fry's chocolate cream, that also came in a mixed fruit flavour, if my memory serves me correctly.

Or even the expensive yet much lauded, RITTER SPORT, that came, and still does, in a dizzying amount of flavours...including my fave, 'Filthy Yoghurt'

Fry's chocolate cream!
My granny used to give us those. I loved and hated them in equal measure with their bittery sweet chocolate mint-cakey nourishment.

Is that gone now?
Used to be a Christmas staple.

My auntie buys me a box of Ferrero Rocher every Christmas because I must have said about 1982 that I quite liked them.

But can you eat more than 7 in one minute?

Probably.
I can eat chocolate to a band playing.

But I've never tried bingeing on FRs.

The world record is 7 in a minute.

My parents still get us three boys a box of those every christmas
It's kind of a running joke now, trying to guess which wrapped gift they are.
