deathrey Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Boosts are great but a little too sweet for me now - or mainly they give me a bit of toothache. They had mini ones in Heroes, they were pretty good. Quote
Merzbow Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Does anyone else try the Polish bars in the world foods section? They're nearly all wafer based it seems. The last one I bought was this, it had coconut, crispies and caramel in it and was pretty decent to be honest. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 17, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 17, 2023 Could've sworn I've seen Boost Duos around in shops.

Wedel company, and my favourites are their boozy ones called Pawelek: (despite just saying "chocolate", this was very boozy) Quote
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 18, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 18, 2023 ^^^ I love the Advocat Pawelek whenever Mrs-to-be raid lets me snaffle one at Dobry Sklep or wherever. Didn't know there was Amaretto as well, must grab one when I get chance! As an aside, the Wedel shops in Poland sell hot chocolate and the white one is probably my favourite hot drink on the planet.

Mr_Danger Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 I never fancy any of those wafer based Polski bars. Wafer based snacks just me remind me of my impoverished childhood. There definitely used to be Boost Duo’s but I think they went the way of the Boost Guarana. Too much boost in your Boost. Quote

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 18, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 18, 2023 Am not really a fan of wafer bars, unless they're properly loaded with chocolate - Riva bars, for example, were wafer, but there was plenty of chocolate in them that they didn't feel like a waste of time. Time Out bars were decent too. Tortinas are fuggin' lush. Quote

I'm sure they had a spumante filled chocolate bar as well at one point which was quite nice. Speaking of Polish drinks as an aside, I love Frugo green but the only place that I've seen it recently is Sainsbury's. 1 hour ago, Mr_Danger said: I never fancy any of those wafer based Polski bars.

Boost Duos still exist, I had one today. Boost Guarana was ace as well. Quote

I do remember Riva bars @Carbomb, they were a feature in my late Junior school lunch box when my mum started branching out a bit more, they were great. Edited July 19, 2023 by deathrey Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted July 18, 2023 Members Posted July 18, 2023 I asked the kids. Typically mature response from me. 10yo yet to give her opinion but she will back up the Boost. Quote
deathrey Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 I mean the kiddo is definitely wrong, its absolutley not Kit Kat. It's the shittest. I will put it down to lack of life experience and not yet having enough opportunity to try all the chocolate bars and also they will never have had those now deceased 90's chocolate bars. RIP Secret Bar Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 18, 2023 Paid Members Posted July 18, 2023 Fuse was the pinicle. I knew when that was discontinued this nation had gone to the dogs. It was like a souped up Lion Bar. Quote

RIP Secret Bar I can promise you they have tried enough chocolate in their life ? It's OK, the 10yo and I wind her up by chomping across the Kit Kat fingers which drives her mental. Quote
deathrey Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I mean if she insists on eating that crap then I'd argue that is a necessity. Wind her up as much as possible until she relents and picks a better best chocolate Edited July 18, 2023 by deathrey Quote
Mr_Danger Posted July 18, 2023 Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Kit Kat Chunky Peanut butter is the king of the Kit Kat stable. The problem I have with Kit Kat is that even in Chunky form I don’t feel like I’m having a chocolate bar so that tick in my brain that tells me it’s ok I’ve had a chocolate bar doesn’t get switched and I’ll eat about four of the bastards. Saw a Caramac Flake in Home Bargains today…. Edited July 18, 2023 by Mr_Danger Quote
