I just read a news story here
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/050505/344/fi4vx.html
which is pretty nasty. So I wondered, did anyone else here ever have a nasty experience like this when buying chocolate?
Once when I was little, my dad took me to the newsagent and let me choose a 'grown up' chocolate bar (not a little bar like an Animal bar which I usually had). Feeling great (and very grown up) I picked a bar, can't remember now if it was a Topic or a Marathon bar. When I got home I ripped open the wrapper and found the bar was covered in green mould

Not chocolate but I had a packet of custard creams once and found a load of ants in the packet!
I found ants in my Burger King drink once. When I took it back they accused me of having put the ants there myself but after a lot of complaining I got a replacement drink.

I found some ants to stuck to the bottom of some m&s
bread buns once so I took them back and after 25 mins of constant
complaining the manager gave me £50 of vouchers. Another time I had a
kitkat with a sticky wrapper smelling of petrol and like a fool I sent
the whole pack of kitkats back instead of keeping them as evidence and
I received a cheque for 97p.
Well done with M&S lou. I would have been tempted to buy £50 worth of chocolate!

I bought wine and loads of that flowery toilet roll.
Lou, apart from the obvious attraction of the flowery pattern, is flowery toilet roll better than plain toilet roll?

Facinating!

Was treated at Christmas though when the relatives came round and mum had got the quilted loo roll.

A fine choose there cherry ripe. Mymum had the same. She got a few rolls so it would last the Christmas
and New Year Period.

I just opened a yoghurt (still within the sell by date) full of mold...
Might write to Muller and complain.

Please also ask them to make yoghurts without gelatine
