How did you find the Forum?
« on: October 26, 2006, 08:26:41 am »

I have been wondering how you all discovered this site?


About four years ago, I was searching for information and comment on bars such as Mint Cracknell and I stumbled across the old Forum. I was just looking for nostalgia really but I have exchanged much more than chocolate chat over the years. The range of topics has been enormous.

My experience was similar to yours, Oldspice. I was looking for "Lovely" memories and information, a chocolate mousse I remembered from my childhood.

Like most people, I was looking for information on an old bar - with me it was Fry's Five Centres.

I remember those fantastic Lovely mouses. They had a beautiful, smooth texture and chocolatey taste. Yum!

It was so long ago I don't remember but I think I was searching for a fruit and nut screensaver.

I was trying to remember the name of a chocolate bar (Maverick) to settle an argument.

Snackspot is a seriously strange website. I can hardly understand the write-ups sometimes because there are so many 'in-house' references. There are some brilliant links though. I adore the Classic Cafes link and the egg, bacon, beans and chips link. Great stuff.

i was frantic to find out the name of a chocolate bar in the 1980's which i seemed to remember but no-one else did. so i figured there must be a forum somewhere with some people who remembered it also. so i googled it, and hey presto!


it was a milk choccy coconut and cherries bar... which 'Bunny' promptly informed me was a Cabana. Yay!


whatever happened to Bunny?

She's been around since then - I remember her and I never used the old forum.

I found the forum after eating a bar of galaxy promises chocolate.


It was such a disappointment that I decided to look up to see if there were any reviews on the internet about it ...... and voila I found this site.


I was off work sick at the time with a grim virus and had time on my hands. I spent a few days popping in and out viewing the site and giggles so much that I decided to join.
