Not sure if these have been mentioned or not. Last night in Woolworths
I saw a Mint Chocolate Orange. It's in a green box with the slogan 'its
not orange, it's mint'.



Has anyone tried these?

I remember hearing ages ago they were going to be launched. That's my attempt at budgeting down the pan - I need to try these and Pizazz!

Tried one and it's GORGEOUS. I dont normally like minty chocolate either.



Lorri, AVOID THE AFTER EIGHT STICKS LIKE THE PLAGUE! They ming sooooo badly. Buy a mint Aero or propper After Eights instead.

They ming so badly.


What a wonderful phrase! I absolutely love it! To ming. A new verb I will definitely share with the mature students I teach who are studying language and culture. Thanks very much kev.

Old but spicey!

I ming, you ming, he/she/it mings.



In German it would probably be "mingen".

I love the word minging. There's a website devoted to
mingers: www.mingers.com - "for the facially inept".
Check it out and see the description in the little
yellow box as you run your cursor over the photos.
Sometimes it just says "minger" and for the more
unfortunate ones it says "minging tw**". I've not
looked at it for a long time but I'm sure it must still
exist  - even if only for people who've been wronged
to take some form of revenge.
