Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?I'd agree. It's very nice, don't get me wrong. But when you see chocolate brownie flavoured popcorn you immediately thing "WOW!" but the actual thing doesn't quite live up to the wow-factor. Now, if it had chocolate brownie pieces in it as well...................(Original post by dani_1991)
It is nice and all, bordering on 'wow' but its not got an actual chocolate taste, more that fake artificial washed out chocolate taste.

iamvick, Creme Egg splats are just like the mini Creme Eggs you get; like a higher chocolate-to-creme ratio. I prefer it that way.
The mystery flavours of Walkers; I've had a couple of them, and I'm sure one is like, a pepperoni pizza taste, where the other was definitely a meaty... almost buttery taste. My thought was the latter could be emulating Shepherd's pie.
The Rocky Road Squares are terribly disappointing. All the components are so poorly portioned you wonder if you got a bad batch or something. Seriously! -

SPIED BUT DID NOT BUY: Iceland's "Ultimate Snacks" Roast Beef and Gravy Yorkshire Pudding Wrap.
As in, the Tortilla wrap is not a tortilla wrap, but a big flat Yorkie Pud.
Let me just tell you, I was insanely tempted through nothing but sheer curiosity, to buy this. There was also a Roast Chicken variant.

I saw this too, but on the rare occasion I go to KFC I vary my choices with the food. Sometimes I get a nice surprise by a risk (KFC Brazer) and sometimes I get bitter disappointment (KFC Rancher). But I never ever deviate from my Krushems choice....

IT'S TOO GOOD. And I mean, even when there's a Milkybar one available, IT'S TOO DIFFICULT TO PASS IT BY. -
Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Wow, why is the Milkybar so much worse for you than Malteser?(Original post by TotoMimo)

Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Remember that because it's white chocolate, it's only cocoa butter and no cocoa paste or powder; whereas cocoa powder is far more easily diluted into a drink, you require more cocoa butter for the same effect to achieve the same level of taste. Thus, White Chocolate Milkshakes/desserts are far more fatty than solid white chocolate - and why calorie-wise, equal white and milk chocolates are usually fairly similar despite the white chocolate fat content being higher.(Original post by MelissaJayne)

Even your hair is the same. -
Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Had one of these the other day, they're average. Just a double chocolate Square with marshmallows stuck on top :/(Original post by iamvick)
I've seen these out and about and they've all intrigued me but I've never ventured into buying them!!
Rocky Road Rice Krispie Squares
Now these are nice

Re: Food and Drink: Spy It... Buy It?Rep up for making me guffaw! AND IT ACTUALLY LET ME REP YOU UP. Wow.
SPIED BUT DID NOT BUY: My local corner shop is selling these "Bitsa Wispa", and I'm sure they're out nationally now. I keep getting suckered in by these Twirl Bites-esque "pay four times as much just because they're the same thing bite-sized" Cadbury are into at the moment, but no doubt they'll eventually get me again with these.
