what kind of wrappers do you collect? I, too, collect wrappers, but generally stick to Mars/Masterfoods, Nestle, Cadbury, and Hershey. Last time I counted I had 800-some.

*impressed* 800! are they all different in some way? There can't be 800 different chocolate bars, so does it include different editions? How do you store them? Do you have the older, crinkly, noisy Mars Bar wrappers? Have you got a Golden Cup wrapper?

haha of course they're different! basically they're layed out by manufacturer, and then there's an easter section, halloween section, christmas section, and a random foreign brand section....the american market is a piece of cake since i live in illinois and go to school in massachusetts....stuff from the UK i pick up from ebay, import stores, internet stores, and then i picked up 60-some bars last time I was in London...elsewhere I do the same: online, mostly, and then when I travel (i.e. Spain, France, Australia, Canada), when my friends/family travel (i.e. Denmark, Korea).

It's become QUITE the obsession. I store all of the wrappers in a binder with the magnetic/adhesive-type pages used for scrapbooking and things of that sort. Eventually when I have a house of my own (i'm 18) I hope to get custom made frames to hang them in.

I actually only started about a year and a half ago so procuring the older wrappers has been a test. I've had the best luck with Ebay in terms of that.

All that and he still doesn't say if he's got a Golden Cup wrapper!

The fact that I don't have Golden Cup was implied by the 'procuring older wrappers has been a test'....

No, I'm afraid that is not implicit in that statement. One might infer it, but it is not implied.

jesus christ, fine, it wasn't "implied'

The Americans just don't get British 'ironic' humour do they?

Oh no, you'll be defining irony again Bounty!

To me irony means:

1. Expressing something in a dry, wry and sarcastic fashion. e.g. "No, I'm afraid that is not implicit in that statement. One might infer it, but it is not implied".

2. Stating something that is intended to mean the opposite of the way in which it appears. e.g 'George W Bush - now there's a clever guy'.

well...in primis I'm interested in all bars like milka or lindt or swiss delice ones, generally 50 g or 100g or more, but sometimes i collect particular wrappers of snack bar like mars or bounty or kit kat. aerofan is right, there can't be 800 different chocolate bars, there are more then 800 different bar wrappers, but don't ask me to list them

« **Reply #12 on:** December 30, 2004, 11:57:31 am »

It was me who said there can't be 800 different bars

The use of satire to expose human folly or vice

George W Bush - now there's a clever guy -

Isn't that an oxymoron?
