Mince Pies



12%

Everyone single Christmas Eve I'm forced the eat these but the missus still sees fit to buy them all year round, wish she'd get the hint, I've had enough!

Pros:
I can get them fairly cheap.

Cons:
Repetitive.
The filling isn't much to look at.
Not seen my penis in 35 years thanks to these.

Milk though Santa, you must never get tired of a good glass of milk!

(Being on this forum lately makes me feel like I'm on a trip or something )

I forgot to post after reading it, but Santa's review made my day last Thursday.

As someone not inured to them from having eaten too many mince pies every 24th December, mince pies are wonderful. As is roast goose, as is mulled wine. Christmas pudding can push right off.

All in all, I give Christmas foods /10.

Cadbury's Snack!

http://www.cadbury.co.uk/products/Snack-Shortcake-2396?p=2396

Been meaning to do this for ages. The Cadbury's Snack! is one of my favourite things. Six shortcake biscuits coated in sweet, sweet chocolate.

Pros:

• Delicious
  
• Simple...

Cons:

• ... but simplistic
  
• Hard to find

Verdict: 88%

Dairylea Dunkers Jumbotubes



Pros:

Reminds me of my childhood!
Dipping food: Definitely A Great Thing
Usually on offer for 3p for a box of four, or something close

Cons:

Just a bit rubbish, innit?

54%

Nowt really wrong (except when the foil isn't sealed properly and the cheese goes brick-hard), but if you've got the choice of a chocolate bar, bag of McCoys or a baby dinosaur egg, you're not picking the Dairylea Dunker for your tea in front of them. A waste of a snack, quite frankly. Who keeps buying these in? Mum? Dad? Archie, the one-eared cat from across the street? Just stop.

Anyone had the double chocolate McVities biscuits? They are absolutely superb.

Review it!!

Couldn't agree more about those Dairylea breadstick dipper thingies. You can barely taste the cheese, and the breadsticks themselves are disappointing.

That being said, the actual Dairylea cheese triangles are a lot, lot better than they used to be. Pretty much matching the taste of the original (Laughing Cow). I'm impressed!

I was going to review something but I forgot what it was...in due time.

I used to love those! Completely forgot they existed. Remember when they used to be square (about the dimensions of a fat After Eight) and had two pieces in the pack: one on top of the other?

Golden Wonder Tangy Toms



Pros:

Tuck shop classic
Proper tangy
Proper tomatoy
Flavour intense enough to blow your cock off

Cons:

Hold on...didn't these used to be 10p? Mother of God.
No potato whatsoever; not actually a crisp
Not filling whatsoever

Makes me nostalgic for when milk was free. They're all right.

Nobody tell Phillips how much Freddos cost nowadays.

Unprepared Cadbury Drinking Chocolate



Call this a nostalgia review, as it were. Back when I was a young'un I'd eat this straight from the can. Yeah. Was actually pretty good, but sometimes I'd get 'tricked' when instead where was a can of cocoa powder there, which tasted horrible on its own. Would also do this with Horlicks and the Green and Blacks variant of this, which came in granules.

Nowadays I'd actually just make myself a hot chocolate if I wanted one.

Pros
-Tastes like hot chocolate
-smells like hot chocolate
-it's drinking chocolate! Minus the drinking. And probably the chocolate (forgot what the ingredients were)

Cons
-Hard to eat on its own
-You should probably prepare it. I know I wouldn't eat it straight from the can ever again.

They now do these cool malteaser-like Snack! variants where you get little blobs of, er, Snack! biscuit in a packet. Pretty good! Must say the Cadbury's chocolate seems to complement shortcake-style biscuit well.

Two thumbs up BUY. THEM.

Cadbury Bourneville Biscuits



Pros
-Melt in the mouth dark chocolate filling complements the biscuit well
-Good choice for those who prefer a more 'proper' chocolate over Dairy Milk's low cocoa content

Cons
-Only eight per pack
-The filling is only "chocolate flavour", but it's coated with Bouneville chocolate.

75%

These were surprisingly good, partly due to the dark chocolate filling inside. Would recommend them if you like dark chocolate.

Medisure Steam Inhaler



Pros:

Great for colds, coughs, flu and blocked sinuses
Convenient and simple to use
Doesn't have to use boiling water
No need for a towel on your head

Cons:

Not a snack
Still not a snack
Steam is not only concentrated on the nose, but the mouth too, and it tastes absolutely hoachin'.

9%

Really helpful in clearing your nasal passages ahead of attempting a good night's sleep, but as a snack it is inherently flawed.

I don't know whether to or .

Utterly brilliant

I could actually do with one of those, my nasal passages need a good clearout.

I can't decide if the review for the steam inhaler or the review for fanny is my favourite now.
