I was going to write about insurance, but I was already too angry to type coherently, before the end of my first sentence. So instead…
“Have you ever seen so much chocolate on a biscuit? “
Readers of a certain age may recognise that tag line from an advert in our shared youth…
Yes, it was “Club” biscuits – I always prefered the raisin ones (purple wrapper – fruit club).
Or perhaps “P,p,p, pick up a …Penguin” will also ring a bell? I believe “Have a break, have a……” is still going strong (somewhere?).
A breath of nostalgia for the TV watchers of the 70’s and early 80’s….
No.
Sadly I must present this as evidence that the world we knew has gone to hell in a handcart.
I learned that Club (have you ever seen so much chocolate…) – who knew they were still a thing – now contain so little actual Cacao that they can no longer legally be called “chocolate” and can only be “chocolate flavoured” (You too Penguin, don’t be so smug)..
It’s not just your imagination, things really were bigger and better (and more chocolately).
Have you ever seen so little chocolate on a biscuit?
Next week, on IaDL: maybe – with counceling- something about the roof..
