Not to sure if i posted this thread before, my memory is foggy. But

About a week or two ago, I was buying Legos from toys-r-us. While waiting to pay, i decided to buy a huge twix bar. So we pay and leave, and I tear the wrapper off. Thats where I realized there was a prob, the twix didn't feel right. So i throw the wrapper out, and look at the twix. Now there is something really wrong. Instead of there being a nice brown coating of chocolate, there is this whitish chocolate. So what the hell, it can't be that bad, so I take a bite. And well, I really want to know how long the candy bar was sitting around. heck, the thing wasn't crunchy anymore, it was like mush, like a musketeer bar, stale cookie, and crappy chocolate all merged together. So I just finish one bar, with another huge one to go. I paid for it, I'm gonna eat it. So along the car ride home, I only finish half of the second one before realizing my stupidity. I didn't know which direction it was coming, but it was coming. I stopped eating that thing at that moment. I never got so sick so fast, and because of that experiance I will never eat a twix. Its so not in the mix.

Hmm - you're sure you didn't mistake the Legos for the Twix [img]smile.gif[/img]

On the other hand: You said it wasn't crunchy ;)

dude, don't take it out on the twix. It's not the chocolate's fault that the store clerks left it sitting there longer than it's due. That's like getting angry at a dog for poopin' in it's kennel when you don't ever let it out for walkies. Man, SO don't blame the twix. Twix are our friends man. You gotta love the twix...

Insane </font>[/QUOTE]When I was a kid I had some pirate lego. It had these cannons that actually fired little cannonballs. You could feed the pack of scurvy mutinous dogs that you would call a crew to the sharks as well. It was great. You could rape and pillage your way across your bedroom floor. Such great power in such little hands.... hahahahahahahhahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh matey!

ROFL! *shudders at the thought of what raping and pillaging opportunities there were in the Hierophant's bedroom in the 1980's.* :D


Edit: have also just remembered a Snoop Dogg quote: "I *##&* her on the floor so I wouldn't mess up my bed..." ROFL

A romantic and a gentleman is dear old snoopy ;)

Eeew....somehow I think the Legos would have been better to snack on! [img]tongue.gif[/img] I'm not a twix fan anyway, but maybe you should tell the store to get with the program and toss old stuff! EEWWWWWWWWWWW! :D

Hmm...that Twix couldn't have been from this century and I can't believe you actually ate it. [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

<font color=cadetblue>Meh, you just got a bad Twix. Usually they're quite scrumdiddlyumptious...</font>

Would you believe that twix has totally gone down in popularity here in the UK. You'll find it in newsagents and stuff but noe advertising, and they are quite rare. Why I wonder? I liked twix...

Yea, I have seen stores before with mass goods that were past their experition date so don't be blaming the twix man [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Twix happens to be my favorite candy bar next to Snickers, maybe next time you won't eat a white one ;)

Maybe all the US merchants are killing sales by selling them past their date and the news is spreading? [img]smile.gif[/img]

And people say bulletin boards are dying...what a load of crap while there are still quality discussions like this! :D

note: I do eat chocolate past its sell-by-date if I happen to have one because they usually give themselves a 500% or so error margin on things like chocolate. I.e. if they manufacture it on Oct 10th and they give it 2 months to sell it by Dec 10th then usually it will actually last for 10 months before really going bad.
However eating one that is white with mould/crap/whatever pushes the boundaries of daring far into the territory of stupidity :D

Have you seen the lego they have nowadays though? It's all special pieces and Harry Potter crap and weird facial features and you can make the object they intended and that's that. Whatever happened to just generic blocks that you could make anything out of?! They don't make it like they used to [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] ;)

I used to have a huge, and I mean HUGE box of lego. It wasn't any of this namby pamby lego available today, it was real man's lego. No fancy pieces, no weird shapes, just blocks.

Ah yes, the good old days when lego was lego and you had to walk to and from school in the freezing snow, uphill both ways. [img]smile.gif[/img] They don't make lego any more, they make model kits that don't require glue.

Indeed. So lets properly discuss the devolution of Lego and Twix. :D

I don't eat chocolate so I can't provide any enlightening insights into the decay of the Twix, but Lego...to take a fun, educational toy such as Lego and twist it into some perverted version of a snap together model is sick and demented.

Don't blame video games for school shootings, blame that crap that's being passed of as Lego these days. :D

Whaddaya mean ya don't eat Chocolate?! That's like saying you don't go to the toilet! :D

well, for one....why would you eat it???? if you just bought it, and was still at the store...why not take it right back in? second...something I learned while working at a conveince store, always and I mean always check the experaion date, also, do not freeze milk chocolate, and then put it back out on the shelf, it will turn the chocolate white, and leave a reallllyyyyy bad taste to it, and it makes me sick

dang stupid keyboard :D

Hey! Down here all our chocolate is white before we get to eat it. It just comes from chocolate being introduced to differint temperatures and pressures. Consider yourself lucky to be able to buy another, better, Twix bar the next time. Then again... Who'd buy candy at the front of a TOYS R US ?!


I mean come on! Toys R Us is for kids, right? SO if parents are being dragged through it spoling their children, why would they dare to allow their already spoiled enough children consumables at the counter? Most parents don't dare to go that far, as it's just unhealthy [img]tongue.gif[/img] Hence lots of OLD candy gets stocked up there and TOYS R US saves money but not bothering to inspect the candy every now and then. Perhaps you could file one of those crazy law suits and get some cash out of the deal? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

It's called a "White Twix!" :D

It's a normal Twix, just with white chocolate.

Hmm maybe you got a new twix bar that wasnt supposed to be released yet and in the factory they didnt notice and put a regular wrapper on it???

<font color=deepskyblue>Sounds to me like the Twix got stored in a warehouse where it got overheated. That would account for it all mushing together and decaying the chocolate. Once it got on the shelves, it would have re-solidified. So it may not even be the fault of Toys R Us. It could have actually been delivered that way.

I have to deal with the vending machine operators in my job, and the snack company we deal with will NOT bring chocolate of any kind during the summer months for this very reason. The bars get overheated and melt in the truck and aren't fit for consumption by the time they are delivered.

Of course, <font color=deeppink>Stormymystic</font> is correct that freezing and re-thawing the candy will have the same basic effect on the chocolate.</font>

Twix-good
Mars-better
Snickers-best

Very old legos(1980-1990)-good
old legos(1990-1995)-the best!
new legos(1995-200X)-perversion
