Advantages: The best of all the "Cracker" stories Disadvantages: Can be a little unpleasant at times
From the very first episode, I was a huge fan of "Cracker". It was mostly Fitz's job that caught me, as I had an interest in psychology and the thought of using that to see into the minds of criminals and prove them guilty seemed like a pretty cool idea to me. That made Fitz something of a hero of mine, although he's perhaps one of the more unlikely role models, being a heavy smoker, drinker and gambler. But that didn't matter, as he was helping to clear the streets of the worst of human nature, like any superhero.
In "To Be A Somebody", Fitz comes up against the very worst of human nature. Albie Kinsella seems like any normal man, separated from his wife, but getting by the best he can although life has struck him a cruel blow with the recent death of his father. He's a man on the edge and a minor argument with a shop keeper sends ...

on the outside, crunchy on the inside."
They are relatively small in size and are sold in individual 28g Bars which cost around 35p a time, they are also sold in multi-packs of four.
The wrapper is actually quite difficult to open and I found that I needed to bite it with my teeth which is not ideal, but as long it gets me to the Chocolate inside quite frankly I don't care.
THE PACKAGING
The Packaging is rectangular in shape and bright red in colour with the word "Dime" written across the front of it in large Dark Blue capital letters outlined in white.

APPEARANCE & TASTE
As you tear open the wrapper you are initially greeted with a faint aroma of the sweet Chocolate but ...

Advantages: Tasty, Sweet, Chocolatey. Disadvantages: Expensive, Not good value for money, Fattening.
really I mean to me they are just utterly dreamy. I can imagine you liking these if you like crunchies, honey comb, maltesers, butterscotch, toffee including cinder toffee and that type of sweet or chocolate.
Dime bars have a really original taste not only are they butterscotch they also have the added delight of chocolate coating.
You can buy these for about 40p a bar nowadays and I think that's not very good value for money really since the size of these bars have shrunk since they first came out. I mean they were always small, but now they're even smaller.
What is it about companies that decide to write ?now better quality?? ?Now even tastier? But, they always forget to write, ?but smaller in size!?
When Dime Bars first came out not only were they bigger they were also cheaper.
In other Countries Dime Bar is called Daim ...
