Nowadays these threads change subject more often than a Ronnie Corbett monologue. . . Smoking concludes with Dr. Pepper, chocolate with Quick-Draw McGraw. . .
Someone mentioned Turkish Delight. Well, the other day I saw an advert on TV for Fry's Turkish Delight, something I haven't seen in shops for years (but must be making a comeback). The thing was, they used the same advert they used in about 1981! It seriously freaked me out, sorta like a timewarp. . .

yes, RW, although, i've never eaten one but the ads here have the original European ads (which country??) dubbed over in English - to match the words really closely.

They're German. The Ferrero rocher commercials are much better (on the terrible scale, they rank "terrible" instead of "rock bottom")

What is Turkish Delight, anyway? The only references I've heard to it are in the TMBG song "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" (not theirs originally, though) and in one of C.S. Lewis' Narnia books (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, IIRC).

*drool* Ferrero Rocher. Rather good confectionaries.
On a sort of related side note, news about a couple of weeks ago featured a truck carrying a tank which had been punctured, leaving a trail of ooze around a city. The cargo? Caramel, sweet caramel.
The Dangerous Chemicals Cleanup division of the local police force was dispatched to clean up the sweet mess, and they were sort of chuckling through the entire escapade, as they are used to dealing with flammable and toxic chemicals. And to top it off, the Dispatcher said that he has ordered several boxes of apples to be used in the cleanup.......

Caramel .. now there's a festive thing that has many, many purposes...........

The egg despising Orion Syndicate is back. The forums are still in one piece, there's a cause for celebration. Now I'll just clear this up, I love chocolate, but the cream in the Cadbury's creme eggs is just vile. Euughhhh!
That's it, from now on, the topic of Creme eggs is forbidden.
------------------ WARNING! This heamerroid cream should NOT be taken orally.
