Knock off Wonka bars seized

[H-O-W-L]

Can we just all take a moment to applaud this skit? Brilliantly funny.

Apart from Takis the only crisp options in Barcelona seemed to be MASSIVE BAG OF PLAIN or MASSIVE BAG OF PAPRIKA,

This is the case for a lot of mainland Europe unfortunately (wish I could find the video of Lee Dorian recalling the plight of many a vegetarian punk on the road - cutting their mouth to ribbons with bag after bag of paprika kartoffelchips, as that's all there was to eat from service stations).

When I was in Holland, I did get addicted to Nibb Its, a corn snack that had a vaguely polystyrene-esque texture that I found very enjoyable. They seemed to have been subsumed into the Cheetos range now (no room for the happy squirrel mascot that would entice me to gorge myself on 900 calories of carbs of indeterminate origin in the space of five minutes). I wonder if they taste the same - that is, no real taste at all, just salt and texture.

Nestlé used to repeatedly launch (and discontinue) the Wonka brand in the UK as a short-term novelty range. I think it had a bigger prescence in the US. I remember eating this "genuine" Wonka bar about twenty years ago.



It wasn't mind-blowing, but you'd get your money's worth.

i remember these

Thats it, sorry

Throughout my school life I routinely impersonated this character in a number of situations.  Fantastic delivery.

Vigilance, and teamwork.

What is the appeal of North American candy? It's shit.

High fructose corn syrup. I swear it gets you high, or is at least peculiarly addictive.

I like the wonka bars that have hash in them.

When you think about it, naming a character in children's fiction Willy Wonka is a bit fucking mad isn't it?

we're talking early 1960s here, a simpler time, when you can imply the factory is run by enslaved Africans because lol pygmies.

Wonkalate was great. Raspberry flavoured white chocolate with a load of green nerds in it. Became aware of them just as the sodding things were being discontinued.


I didn't realise there were so many of those shops on Oxford St alone. They're bloody everywhere and invariably shite. I notice the Mr Simms name isn't limited to just old fashioned style shops now, they'll just let you slap it on any thrown together glorified pop up shop.

There are 3 of these shops (imported sweets in general not Mr Simms) near me including one in a stupidly busy tourist spot you wonder how they are making the rent if its actually on the level. No way are they selling 8-10 quid boxes of cereal all day long and certainly not to tourists who must look at the shops and think fuck off I can get that at home?!

I get that seeing things like lucky charms and twinkies on telly is going to make us want to give it a go for the novelty but the fact the markets there for importing it at such a level, regardless of the dodgy shops, is quite something.

You'd prefer it to be repressed?

Have Slugworth and Prodnose been investigated over this?

used to be a rumour that Wonka hid Pugwash-style innuendo because Dahl was a disgusting old perv who wrote sex books on the side

Snozzberry is supposedly some oral sex term

Snozzberries originally appeared in an earlier book by Dahl, where they were described as "sweet, juicy, red fruit that grow in orchards". It's likely this is what Wonka is referring to, but it's true that 15 years after the publication of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Dahl reused the word in a story about cum larceny as a euphamism for a cock.

Smell my fingers and weep

I'm in Barcelona and bought these and I'm happy to report they're muy banging
