Penguin and Club Bars can no longer be called Chocolate

The BBC reports that Penguin and Club Bars can no longer be called chocolate because the coating doesn’t contain enough cocoa solids. The price of chocolate has rocketed so much that the bars will now have a chocolate flavoured coating. 

i would prefer to buy real chocolate coated biscuits less often than I do at present, rather than consume chocolate coated biscuits that taste of plastic.

It’s such a shame that chocolate has become so expensive. It feels like we are going  back in time to the16th century, when cocoa beans were so expensive they were used as currency and were kept under lock and key.

  • Well since we’ve gone from chocolate to cleaning products, I’ll lower the tone,

    ’’Which kills germs longest in the lav-a-tor-y? Vortex! — and that’s a scientist’s view”. Neill Butler MSc. 

    I used to be fascinated by how Neill Butler in his white lab coat would pronounce “lavatory”, with four distinct syllables each divided by a definite stop. Although it wasn’t my favourite advertisement, the pronunciation fascinated me and I repeated the words of the ad. over and over again, in fact, I never stopped.
