They are now selling Galaxy Truffles in Tesco. Didn’t buy them because they wanted £5 for about 6 of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an open goal, commercially speaking. Agreed. Fruit pastilles know the score 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 At my work clients give us tins of sweeties for Christmas. Bounties are usually the last sweets left in the Celebrations tin The coconut blue ones or the plain chocolate green ones are the last ones left in Quality Street (I always try and nab as many pink fudgy sweets as I can because I like those ones). Funnily enough some people are content to leave the orange/strawberry creams which I thought would have been first to go. Toffees are usually left to last in a tin of Roses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like them all, so I inevitably get into trouble for eating the ones that are universally liked. However, I'm not going to hold back on all my favourites for all eternity just because somebody's 'not so keen on coconut'. At the end of the day, you will pay the price if you are a fussy eater. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were half price recently and still well overpriced. They also have malteaser ones which the wife bought and I snaffled one. Absolutely delicious but would I f**k pay a sky diver for a wee packet like you say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I read this article about the economic costs of prohibition, I love the calculations used by this economist to estimate the costs of alcohol to the US economy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-49906476 Quote Fisher certainly seems to have happily taken some liberties with figures. He claimed, for example, prohibition was worth $6bn to America's economy. Was this figure the result of careful study? Not according to one bemused critic. Evidently Fisher started with reports from a few individuals a stiff drink on an empty stomach made them 2% less efficient. He then assumed workers habitually downed five stiff drinks just before work, so multiplied the two by five and concluded alcohol lopped 10% off production. Dubious, to say the least. Love the idea that the average worker drinks five drinks before a shift at work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had applied prohibition to the advertising industry in the 60s, that may well have been right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a big B&M opened round the back and they sell boxes of Fry’s Raspberry Cremes. #scenes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
