Best New Choc Product of 2008

[smurfboy]

It's that time of year again - our annual poll to find the best new choc product of 2008! Quite a small crop this year; the big boys don't seem willing to experiment in tough economic times...

I can't say it often enough, because every year someone moans about it (and probably still will) - THE POLL IS FOR MAINSTREAM PRODUCTS, AVAILABLE FREELY FROM A RANGE OF RETAILERS. You will NOT find Thorntons, Hotel Chocolat or the little chocolatiere you found that time on a weekend break in here; it's a fairer vote if we only include things everyone will have had a chance to try.

I see you didn't put that bar of chocolate I made in my kitchen last week in the poll.
Huh!
Oh well. I'll vote anyhoo.

[loulou]

That wasn't a bar of choc was it pham?

THE POLL IS FOR MAINSTREAM PRODUCTS, AVAILABLE FREELY FROM A RANGE OF RETAILERS. You will NOT find Thorntons,

Thorntons is fairly mainstream... seen them stocked in WHSmiths, Sainsbury's and even Woolworths (when they were still around)

[paulham]

There's always one!

<bitch>I've not voted for any, but than I only eat quality chocolate</bitch>

[loulou]

It's not much of a choice is it? I'll go for the Chocolate Orange Hazelnut.

It's not much of a choice is it?

I know, but I've included every new product I could think of.  A slow year for innovation.

[loulou]

2009 needs to see more variety like marzipan and nougat.

[paulham]

Oh yeah, we can never have enough marzipan....

[loulou]

very true.

[drterror666]

Translation, please...

[loulou]

pham says we can never have enough marzipan.

[drterror666]

Marzipan is evil!  Pham is evil!

[paulham]

That was as close as I could get to writing in an ironic-style script!
