Title: What choccy products will not last long?
Post by: kevvosa on November 21, 2004, 05:00:30 pm
Peronally I don't think these will last much longer:



Dream with Strawberries,

Lemon/Lime Kitkats,

Rolo & Hunnies,

White Twix.

No, no, no - it doesn't work like that. CRAP bars stay around for ever. POPULAR bars are discontinued. Think about it ....


Texan, Cabana, Amazin, Milk Tray Bar, Frys Five Centres, Secret, Pyramint .......

Yep, good point oldspice. What daft bugger(s) makes these decisions?

Out of all of these, White Twix is the only one that is limited edition.

I finally tried a Lime Kit Kat, and I still can't decide if I like it or not!  Why don't they bring out the strawberry one they do in Canada, I know I'd like that!

I have tried the strawberry one and in my opinion its not actually that nice. The vanilla one was very nice though.

I am worried Kevossa could be right about Dream with Strawberries - haven't seen it around much recently. Or was it a limited edition?

Vanilla KitKat?  I like the sound of that!  My local Asda is still selling Dream with Strawberries

Well the reason I mentioned it is because I have seen that Dream with Strawberries is being sold cheap in some cheap shops at the moment, likewise Lemon/Lime Kitkats.

The Lemon/Lime KitKat varieties would have been MUCH nicer without the white chocolate. Lime cream needs milk or dark chocolate. Anyway, they tend to put the flavouring in the chocolate rather than in the wafer cream. I would like a shortcake or wafter biscuit with a thick layer of lime or leomn cream, covered in milk or dark chocolate.


 


Anyone remember Lime Cracknell, sister bar of Mint Cracknell. Bliss

For me, fruit and choc don't mix well.


Raisins excepted, of course. They aren't fruity.

Chocolate covered strawberries are absolutely delicious - especially if it's dark chocolate

I like the idea of a 'wafter biscuit' Oldspice!

The Dream with Strawberry's was a lot nicer than the Double Berry from Nestle.


I dont remember seeing Limited Edition on the packet.

I love Double Berry too. I spotted the Dream with Strawberries at the local newsagents just now so it's not dead yet!

Is it just me or does Double Berry have rasberry seeds in it?
Title: What choccy products will not last long?
Post by: smurfboy on November 23, 2004, 04:31:36 pm
No, it does indeed have seeds.

I hope the Orange Kitkat doesnt last, it's absolutely horrible. Far too sweet and sickly.

Nice to have a variation for us KK lovers though!

Surely it is more important to worry about bars we do like not lasting long then it is to worry about those we don't.      I think
Title: What choccy products will not last long?
Post by: chocolate chick on November 30, 2004, 12:34:10 pm
Thats true! If you dont like the bar it doesn't matter if it stays or goes. But if you love the bar and it goes...
Title: What choccy products will not last long?
Post by: Floater on November 30, 2004, 01:51:51 pm
No, if you dont like the bar, it's one more space in the vending machine to avoid...
Title: What choccy products will not last long?
Post by: loulou on December 04, 2004, 02:52:31 pm
If you like all the bars in the vending machine the decision is too hard to make.

Woolies have them Caholic. I personally found it a little sickly, but not unpleasantly so.

They make a nice change. They are sweet but all white chocolate is. Just like dark is bitter.

I take it you don't eat Mars dark choc then? i.e. Dark Bounty, Mars Midnight/Dark and Gold.


It is smooth, not in the least bit bitter, the reason I adore it!

Post by: kevvosa on December 09, 2004, 11:19:40 am
Probably because it is semi-sweet dark chocolate.
Title: What choccy products will not last long?
Post by: chocolate chick on December 10, 2004, 10:11:55 am
I did't try the Dark Mars when they came out. I am doing to try a Dark Bounty soon though. I am usually OK with things that are covered in dark choc just not too keen on whole lumps of drak. eg Bournville!

i love white chocolate, but i'll admit that after an entire bar of it, i.e. a dream or milkybar it can get a bit sickly...double berry was delicious in that the fruit broke up the white chocolate....white kitkats are nice in my opinion, but i have yet to try twix white..i can see it go either way...


i think the newer kitkat flavors are a nice change, but i can't see luscious lime or the lemon yoghurt lasting all that long...they're nice if you have a taste for something different...i was mad excited for the canadian editions of kitkat strawberry and vanilla, but was very much disappointed....on the other hand i LOVE the kitkat editions caramel....

Yes, the caramel one seems to have received widespread approval.
