Twix is so not in the mix - Page 2

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!

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

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.

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.
