Title: Bar Hierarchy
Post by: NoAdsForTopics on February 24, 2006, 01:21:48 pm

A Breakaway is superior to a Club Orange, but a Club Orange is superior to a Blue Riband...discuss.


 


Can you come up with similar variations?

Sorry I was making reference to a phrase ... well, never mind but it is explained here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us


What I meant to say was in my lunchbox hierarchy nothing beats Wagon Wheels.

Penguin biscuits were quite high on my lunchbox hierarchy, looking back it's hard to say if they were higher than a mint club though.

Penguins are a good biscuit. Bigger than an orange club, but if you got a good club with thick chocolate at one end you could nibble off then that made it pretty special...

totally agree with lemoneye


 


penguins are actually quite nice


 


but would you place a mint club above a viscount of any variety?

It's a good point, but thick choc on one side means thin choc on other side. A Penguin, on the other hand, comes apart in layers and has even choc all over.

true


 


penguins also had the bonus of being able to split them in two, nibble off the cream and then dunk your biscuits mmmmm

Hmmm, well I only liked the mint Viscounts but I did like the way I could scrape the mint off the biscuit with my teeth. Viscounts were round and so more difficult to hold whilst dunking. But I did like the way the chocolate melted around my fingers whilst dunking. Overall I think the mint Viscount beats the mint Club just slightly. But I'd still prefer a Wagon Wheel!

now, Cherry, are we talking about the 1980s version of the Wagon Wheel which was a huge great big lump of chocolate/biscuit heaven...or are we talking about its anorexic descendant that claims to be a WW today?

The old ones of course! I was a child of the 70s & 80s - I haven't had a Wagon Wheel since I stopped having packed lunches and that was about 1988!

Where does the Trio fit in? Above or below Club?

I wasn't so keen on Trios, so for me they definitely rank below Club.

When they re-launched Mint Viscount in bar form (rather than round) they were WONDERFUL! Then they just stopped making them! I don't think they ever got rid of the little round Mint Viscount but the bar size one was lovely.

They used to have thick, thick chocolate but now it's really thin
