After Eights

Two boxes for £3 at Somerfield

Morrisons 300g boxes £2.69 and buy one get one free. Empty shelf.

I saw there were loads of the After Eight milk chocolate bags left yesterday but the dark choc ones had all gone. 

[loulou]

I like the milk choc ones in the boxes.

After Eights have a chemical taste to them these days.

[smurfboy]

Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that although the milk ones come in a blue box, they still come in black envelopes? How are the guests at your sophisticated soiree supposed to know which are which?

[loulou]

Well you could take a bite out of all the milk choc ones or you could put them out seperately.

Best thing to do would be to eat all the milk choc ones, buy a box of cheap imitation After Eight and put them in the little envelopes. No one will ever know

[loulou]

I would know cos after eights have after eight written all over them.

[kevvosa]

Smurfy says he's tried it before - did anyone notice?

[smurfboy]

It wasn't specifically with After Eights - I just put some own brand chocs out on a fancy plate and let people think they were posh.

[loulou]

That's a good idea.

[oldspice]

Does anyone remember those false silver-looking containers that were made especially to hold After Eight boxes? That was the days when After Eight were considered luxuries. You see loads of them at car boots these days.

[loulou]

Yes I remember those. Weren't they supposed to be the height of sophistication?

[kevvosa]

Bizarre to think that anything connected to After Eight should be considered sophisticated.
