rockford	Day 21 > Reveal 🔎 Oooooh it's payday! If only > Reveal 🔎 An American caramel coated bar covered in nuts, that looks remarkably similar to what comes out of my dogs when they lay their eggs... Rating > Reveal 🔎 Nom I shared this with my wife and the first thing that hit us both is that the peanuts were salted - neither of us were expecting that. Then comes the sugar coated sugar, liberally sprinkled with sugar and a peanut butter type centre, with added sugar (just in case you were missing some). It's probably safe to say that all of the sugar in the world went into making this bar. Super sweet, salty and sickly. Did I mention it was sweet?

Jayenkai	Mmmm.. had these. They used to sell them in BigW. .. that's going back a while!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Day 22 > Reveal 🔎 More stuffage from the USA. This time Baby Ruth! I've heard about them from movies and tv, but never seen or tasted one before. So now I'm about to. Twice (well, one for me the other for my wfe). > Reveal 🔎 Chocloate chunks. Let's hope it's not like the Hershey chocloate, as that tastes like puke. Rating > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM NOM These are like the other American peanut thing I had the other day, but covered in chocolate and MUCHO less sweet. The peanuts again were salted - is that an American thing; salt+sugar in everything.? It's kind of like a Marathon/Snickers, but chunkier and with the (salted) nuts all around the outside, not running throughout and with no caramel, just the nougat centre. So nothing like a Snickers then! My wife didn't think as much of it as I did. But she's weird, so her rating doesn't count!

Jayenkai	Nom nom.. this was also in BigW. They had, like, a whole sodding wall full of American imports. It's where I got hooked on Reeses Pieces. Mmm.... Also This -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	I almost mentioned The Goonies specifically when I said movies...
Fri, 31 Jan 2020, 03:31
Jayenkai	Dreamt I was walking round the BigW.
Fri, 31 Jan 2020, 03:50
rockford	What's BigW?
Fri, 31 Jan 2020, 04:34
Jayenkai	Big Woolworths! Like a great big giant superstore sized Woolworths. Those existed for a while.. They obviously don't any more. The Bolton one is now a fairly large Asda store. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 31 Jan 2020, 06:51
rockford	Was that it's actual name or nickname? We had a huge Woolworths in MK many years ago, but it was still just called Woolworths.
Fri, 31 Jan 2020, 07:16
Jayenkai	Just "Big W". It was their attempt to go BIG.... and failed. .. Horribly! It still exists in Australia. https://www.bigw.com.au/ ... but then, so does Woolworths!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	You learn something new everyday. I miss Woolworths

rockford	Day 22 > Reveal 🔎 It's a 2 for 1 today! > Reveal 🔎 Some southern fried chicken style snack and what looks like a Flump > Reveal 🔎 Yep. Definitely looks, feels and smells like a Flump. Rating > Reveal 🔎 Chicken snacks - NV Flump - NOM NOM NOM The fried chicken snacks didn't taste anything like chicken. Old, used frying fat and a secret blend of 11 different herbs and spices (actually, all 11 are salt). Yep that's more like it. They had the texture of typical maize snacks (Monster Munch etc.), but not the lovely flavours. Not disgusting (just shy of nasty), but not nice either. Not something I would care to have again. The Flump tasted... exactly like a Flump. If it looks like a Flump. Feels like a Flump. And barks like a Flump? Eh? Yeah, it;s a Flump.
Fri, 31 Jan 2020, 16:09
Jayenkai	Mmm... I think I'd've enjoyed both of those. Probably not great for your blood pressure/cholesterol, but .. what's the harm in "just one time" testing, am I right??! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Day 23 > Reveal 🔎 Another double helping of Japanese goodness today. > Reveal 🔎 Melon something? Neither my wife or I were sure if this was something you add to water to make a drink or if it was just sherbert. The packaging didn't help. > Reveal 🔎 These look exactly like the grape things I had last year, but in lemon flavour. The grape ones were lovely. Rating > Reveal 🔎 Melon stuff - NOM NOM NOM We tried it as sherbert. Lovely. Nice strong melon flavour, with a bit of fizz and extra sweetness. Lemon things - NOM NOM NOM Yep, these are exactly the same as the grape sweets - like compressed discs of powdered sugar, that taste nice and lemony. They completely dissolve into nothing in a few seconds, leaving the lovely flavour.

Jayenkai	Mmmmmm!!!

rockford	Day 24 > Reveal 🔎 Two.S.A. 4 2day. > Reveal 🔎 Yep, more NikNaks-type-snacks > Reveal 🔎 Two turds of joy! Rating > Reveal 🔎 Cheetos - NOM NOM More cheesy than hammy, but a nice flavour none-the-less. Left my fingers covered in snack dust. Almond Joy- NOM Two lightly chocolated slabs of coconut-cum-marzipan, with a whole almond on top. Sounds like it should have been great, but it was just meh.
Mon, 03 Feb 2020, 15:49
Jayenkai	That's a shame. But I kinda fancy some chocolate, now. Mmmm.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Day 25 (I meant to post this last night, but got busy and forgot). > Reveal 🔎 Krispz > Reveal 🔎 Yep. They look like the ones on the packet. Rating > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM NOM These are really nice, but ever so sweet. I get that they're flavoured with honey (or at least "honey flavored"), but so are other things. I reckon the honey is infused with corn syrup and then blended with sugar; I can feel my teeth rotting while I'm eating! But, they are luvverly! The BBQ flavour is failr ysubtle (compared to the honey), but it's there and very nice too.
Fri, 07 Feb 2020, 05:17
Jayenkai	Mmmm. Maybe too sweet, though. I'm not keep on Sweet crisps. Salty, Savoury, sure! But not sweet. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 07 Feb 2020, 05:34
rockford	I prefer savoury foods in general too, but I'll happily try any new flavour crisps
Fri, 07 Feb 2020, 05:43
Jayenkai	Don't say "any" until you've tackled the fishiest of fishy!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Fri, 07 Feb 2020, 05:47
rockford	Fishy flavoured crisps are fine (so far). I even enjoy scampi fries and prawn cocktail flavoured crisps/snacks. Thing is they are not flavoured with real fish. That's where the difference lies!

rockford	Sorry, been busy over the weekend. Day 26 > Reveal 🔎 A cheesy pot noodle type thing and a thing type thing. Both from Korea. I'm not a cheese lover... > Reveal 🔎 The packaging says it's a "European cookie" - yeah from a part of Europe that doesn't exist, methinks! > Reveal 🔎 Yep. It's a pot. With noodles in. And a little packet of cheese dust? > Reveal 🔎 Yeah. Reading the instructions helps... :/ > Reveal 🔎 Where the fuck did all my noodles go? That's less than half a pot of noodles! Rating > Reveal 🔎 European Cookie - NOM NOM NOM This was basically a squashed vanilla cookie rolled into a tube. Weird but nice. Pot Noodle - NOM I'm not a lover of cheese and I really didn't fancy trying this. I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions OK, but what was left was a half-pot of chewy bland noodles sprinkled with a very mild cheese powder that didn't really taste much like cheese. Thankfully. It was nowhere near as hideous as I was anticipating.
Mon, 10 Feb 2020, 10:46
Jayenkai	Yeah, I can go either way with cheese, but most cheese flavourings are the exact sort of cheese that I can't stand. Good to hear (/read...?) it wasn't the worst! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Day 27 - The episode in which we completely forgot to post due to stuff. > Reveal 🔎 > Reveal 🔎 This was not found in my back garden after the dogs had been out. Promise! > Reveal 🔎 Rating > Reveal 🔎 NOM NOM NOM Not exactly what I was expecting - I thought it'd be a more solid bar, filled with cereal and marshmallows and cherries etc. not soft marshmallow covered in plain chocolate and cashes, like the wrapper states... (I read the wrapper afterwards. Mucho afterwards! ) Not what I expected, but very nice though.
Wed, 12 Feb 2020, 18:58
Jayenkai	Ooooh!
