Don't you think they would sell better if there were 2 individual young women in each pack!

I do although last time I had one was last summer. I got so many of
them free through the post with the Mars promotion that I got sick of
them. Postman was never happy either

True  I did have some sent to friends as I had so many free bars. I wish Cadbury or Nestle would do a similar promotion.

They are nasty smelly things, full of fleas.

I want a Koala as a pet, I think it would rock.

Koalas do not make good pets - as I said, they stink.  They do rock though and sometimes fall out of their trees.

They wee and poo practically non-stop!  Believe me, I've had close dealings with them.  My Cousin is a Wildlife Ranger in Oz.

What, they're going to sell it to young women on the fact you get two per pack - the idea being presumably that you can eat one, save the other for later and preserve your figure? Has whoever came up with that actually ever met a woman?

You've missed the point Smurfboy.  The idea is that you eat one bar(which looks suitably restrained) and then surreptitiously replace it with the other while nobody's looking and eat that. You then put away the now empty wrapper while wearing a smug (I'll save that for later) type expression.  The whole effect doesn't look nearly so greedy as eating one large bar!

It wasn't amazing but what was it up against? Kitkat lemon? Dream with strawberries?
