drugs/lies: poll (darraghmac), Monday, 28 October 2013 20:05 (twelve years ago)

Afters sounds very english. Like 'pop'. Lets have some pop with our afters. I cant imagine anyone else saying it.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 28 October 2013 20:16 (twelve years ago)

drugs/lies: poll (darraghmac), Monday, 28 October 2013 20:53 (twelve years ago)

afters [ˈɑːftəz]
n (functioning as singular or plural) Brit
1. (Cookery) Informal dessert; sweet
2. (Team Sports / Soccer) Slang a confrontation or physical violence between football players immediately after they have been involved in a challenge for the ball

i have heard the former but chiefly it's the latter

r|t|c, Monday, 28 October 2013 21:04 (twelve years ago)

i've never really thought about it before now but it's cute that fitba has its own subtle little coinage

sight of one of these in a nearby shop triggered off some ancient memories. i cant believe they still make these. unless theyve been there since the 80s.

there was a mint crisp thing that seemed of that big time era too. quite cheap chocolate but it was still nice. cool packaging on the big time bar.

macaroon, big time, mint crisp, frosties- the 10p snacktime classics

and he wonders why he's no fuckin teeth

drugs/lies: poll (darraghmac), Monday, 28 October 2013 23:14 (twelve years ago)

Macaroons <3 I still buy them every time I see them, even at grossly inflated prices in Cybercandy.

What about those Cadbury Touchdown bars? They were 10p. My sisters and I maintained they tasted "different" depending on the packaging.

gyac, Monday, 28 October 2013 23:23 (twelve years ago)

dont know them?

chomp and smileys, they were the other ones. but they went to 12p

12p!

outrageous price on two counts, first, 12p like, secondly wtf has 2p on them.

drugs/lies: poll (darraghmac), Monday, 28 October 2013 23:24 (twelve years ago)

also, these dentists' favourites.

Touchdowns were small chocolate covered wafery things that had American footballers on them, they were in either a purple or red wrapper. We were of the opinion the purple ones tasted nicer.

gyac, Monday, 28 October 2013 23:26 (twelve years ago)

the smartie phenomenomnomnom

then smarties added orange flavour to the orange ones and you couldnt cite them anymore

drugs/lies: poll (darraghmac), Monday, 28 October 2013 23:37 (twelve years ago)

Hmmm.

I want to know, did any of ye call these frozen drinks?

mr freeze as per packet in my house

drugs/lies: poll (darraghmac), Tuesday, 29 October 2013 00:03 (twelve years ago)

i also remember a sort of fake ice cream cup that had mallow and chocolate and wafer. was really good in a filthy kind of way.

touchdowns were really nice. smileys also.

Legitimate space tale (LocalGarda), Tuesday, 29 October 2013 00:09 (twelve years ago)

ah no there was no bite in them mallow cups, and iirc they weren't even wrapped. gack.

drugs/lies: poll (darraghmac), Tuesday, 29 October 2013 00:21 (twelve years ago)

Mr. Freeze called Mr. Freeze round our way.

Not even the internet can help me in my vain struggle to find a picture of a packet of Barry's Gloves - the Barry McGuigan themed crisps

subaltern 8 (Michael B), Tuesday, 29 October 2013 11:01 (twelve years ago)

the mallow cups were often stale but the sweetness made up for it, in the same way as stale chocolate cake is perfectly good.
