BOF Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yeah sorry about that Mike. Losing pets, especially long term ones, is not nice. Sounds like she got to the end though, rather than getting run over or something similar that happens plenty of cats. Curiosity really does kill the cat a lot of the time.

Curiosity really does kill the cat a lot of the time.'He' rather than 'she' (his sister Ella lost an argument with the traffic some years ago). Louis was smart enough to stay away from the road, but chronic kidney disease got him instead. Won't be rushing to get another one, but I expect we will eventually. I just like the little buggers, and they always seem to like me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Why rolo's, fruit pastilles, munchies et al don't come in bags like maltesers do. **** foil & paper everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenko#4 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 It is because of the shape of maltesers. You couldn't have maltesers in a pack like rolos or munchies as 1) you'd hardly get any in there, and 2) they couldn't be wrapped properly as they are spherical. Maltesers have to be in a bag, the others don't. Also, by packaging rolos, fruit pastilles etc as they are they can get more in a smaller packet, more packets in a box, more boxes on a pallet, more pallets in a lorry etc - keeping costs down.

Surely just shrink down the share bags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Why don't dogs and cats get along? They do, if you bring them up together from when they're puppies and kittens. Not even that. My parents had a dog and then years later we got the two cats, never had any issues between them. Then some more years later, our dog got old and was put down and we got a new one and the cats love her just as much if not even more. They go up to her and rub their faces on her, one of them even grooms her. It's ridiculous, but quite sweet in a weird way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Don't want that much jeez, just a normal pack of rolo's worth. Plus you've still got the foil menace with that type of bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get on the dark chocolate ones, they're the future I often wonder that, dark chocolate is far far superior to milk chocolate, wish more brands did a dark chocolate version here, which is annoying because I know the likes of galaxy do them abroad (I'm sure under the dove brand) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 22, 2015 Author VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2015 On a digestive biscuit, or in 'luxury' boxed chocolates, yes, every time. As a straightforward bar of chocolate, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
