Coffee Crisp coming to the US!

[bjarvis]

About frackin' time, At long last, Coffee Crisp chocolate bars will be made available by Nestle in the US!

What's a coffee crisp? Heathen! By a wide margin, it's the greatest chocolate bar ever! I usually buy lots when I'm in Canada --they're available at any convenience store there-- but the only place I've found them in the US is at the World Market stores, sold as exotic international fare. Go figure.

Sweet Marie. Caramilk. Aero (all varieties). Laura Secord. Peameal bacon. Ice wine. Black market OHIP cards. Gay marriage. Real beer. Mounties.

dont forget smarties. and do you eat the red ones last?

I eat them fast enough that they're simply a multi-coloured blur. :-)

blue Smarties(tm) are still ODD to me, but then I've been eating them since they were a Rowntree product, in England, and they came in cardboard tubes with a pop-out coloured plastic end/lid (with a letter on the underside! collect all 26!).

And Brian was about eight years yet unborn (sigh)

our second year chemistry students do chromatography on the food colouring in Smarties(tm) [and M&Ms (tm)]; they can tell which different food colours are used in each, and it's different between the two brands.

Penny, my officemate, teaches analytical chemistry and has just these past weeks been preparing samples for students to analyse -- one of each colour of M&Ms(tm) and the similar colours of Smarties(tm). However, the faggot-pink and homo-lavender coloured Smarties(tm) have no parallel colour among M&Ms(tm), so there are lots of excess Smarties(tm) that don't get distributed. We keep them in the office for Emergencies, when a hit of chocolate is the only thing that will save the day.

Personally, I think M&Ms(tm) are Satan's spawn, the downfall of Western Civilisation, and shouldn't be given room in the office. But I hold my tongue, becoz that way I get to share in the excess pink'n'lilac coloured Smarties(tm) which are nectar of the gods. I'm diabetic and shouldn't eat them. much. but three or four can't hurt, right?

"Big Turk" bars are a good start. Also the Canadian version of "Kit-Kat", which tastes more like the (heavenly!) British version than the pale American imitation.

Remind the boys up here to take you to the Hershey factory for an afternoon. Your fix will be in for sure.

Dan's an Atkin's devotee and will kill anyone who tempts him to the dark side. Besides, almost all Canadian Hershey product is available in the US anyway.

Now if was a Cadbury or Nestle factory...
