Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Oh yes, there is that. I've worked my way through every size of box without really noticing until there's only one left :-0 I can eat quite a number of them before I feel sick, which is really the only way to be sure it's time to stop, isn't it?

That, or the box is empty and the shops are shut.

I had a box of 72 at Christmas time. Luckily it was a mixed box and all I can say is it's a good thing I don't like white chocolate :-0
Oh - back to thread topic: the mere existence of Ferrero Rocher in anything other than their original form really irritates me as I can't them all.

Buns? What do buns have to do with *cupcakes* ? Buns are British and made from dough. *Cupcakes* are a revolting American word for fairy cakes ruined by excessive quantities of hyperactive icing :-(

Oh now you've started me. Boxes of chocolates where the amount of chocolate could be packaged in something one eighth of the size with no risk to the contents. Where you end up with more weight of packaging than product, and eight times as much volume of packaging.

So right Duchess. Easter is for gardening and running, not bloody packaging on stupidly expensive chocolates. If you want chocolate go and buy a bloody Yorkie and save the planet FFS.
