They are nasty smelly things, full of fleas.

I want a Koala as a pet, I think it would rock.

Koalas do not make good pets - as I said, they stink.  They do rock though and sometimes fall out of their trees.

They wee and poo practically non-stop!  Believe me, I've had close dealings with them.  My Cousin is a Wildlife Ranger in Oz.

"TV advertising for Mars Delight breaks on Sunday and runs for two weeks – with more two-week slots planned for April and May.
The ad features two young women and highlight the fact there are two individual bars in each pack."



What, they're going to sell it to young women on the fact you get two per pack - the idea being presumably that you can eat one, save the other for later and preserve your figure? Has whoever came up with that actually ever met a woman?

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

You've missed the point Smurfboy.  The idea is that you eat one bar(which looks suitably restrained) and then surreptitiously replace it with the other while nobody's looking and eat that. You then put away the now empty wrapper while wearing a smug (I'll save that for later) type expression.  The whole effect doesn't look nearly so greedy as eating one large bar!

 A bit like the captions on the Nestle Notions products?

This product won an award as "Innovative product of the year".


Must have been a piss-poor year.

It wasn't amazing but what was it up against? Kitkat lemon? Dream with strawberries?
