...golf .lol. K is for Kinder Surprise! The surprise, of course, is there's no flipping chocolate there, a plastic egg thing the size of a golf ball that has yet more plastic inside, usually a toy or something. If I wanted a Christmas cracker gift I would buy a Christmas cracker! What are we supposed to eat here? It's made somewhere obscure in central Europe where all the houses are made of chocolate and candy and is just too expensive to bother with any more. L is for Lucky Bag and Love Sweets. As a kid after I had got my five packets of Panini football stickers the remainder of my 50p pocket money was spent on one of these. They were stuffed full of goodies, everything from those polystyrene like Flying Saucer things to the Love Hearts, my favourite being those solid lollipops made of candy cement, that rock hard stuff you bit...

Chocolate footballs ? these football shaped chocolates offered just enough per sweet to satisfy a craving. I used to sneak a few footballs in my sweet bag just take the edge off the fruity flavours the majority of other sweets offered. Reisens ? These chocolate toffee delights are the sort of food which once you start... Read review
