Doping Makes Your Arm Strong (King Boy Pato), Monday, 15 October 2012 10:40 (thirteen years ago)

This sorta dovetails into those columns doing the rounds from those forty-something white male typing monkeys at News with the stunning argument that "suburban men hate Julia Gillard because blah blah blah we have penises".

Doping Makes Your Arm Strong (King Boy Pato), Monday, 15 October 2012 10:42 (thirteen years ago)

stutchbury's argument on yesterday's insiders was fucking atrocious

abbott's not really a misogynist and gillard was just 'ranting'

turn left onto bisexual woman (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 15 October 2012 10:55 (thirteen years ago)

and he delivered all that *immediately* after lenore taylor attacked solipsistic male journalists who missed the point

turn left onto bisexual woman (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 15 October 2012 10:56 (thirteen years ago)

that's pretty much half the australian media's argument right now tbh

abbott's not really a misogynist

...but gee, he's good at acting like one

The bars were originally made by Mackintosh's at their Halifax factory but in recent years are now made in a factory in Castleford in West Yorkshire. Toffee Crisp was due to move to Rowntree's Fawdon factory in Newcastle. However, because of a fire at the Fawdon factory (the week before the final production run at Halifax), this did not happen. The staff at Castleford hurriedly reformulated the bar (unofficially because it wasn't intending to make the bar on the extruded plant in Castleford) and the old-style bar which was made in metal moulds, changed into an extruded bar which allowed it to be made without the investment in a moulding plant

set the controls for the arse of your mum (sic), Tuesday, 16 October 2012 00:24 (thirteen years ago)

The idea for Toffee Crisp bars originated after an idea from John Henderson, the great-nephew of John Mackintosh – his wife Edith used to make Rice Crispie and chocolate cakes for their two children – he took some of these to the factory, and work began on developing a new product in the early 1960s. When the chocolate coated crispy bar was submitted to the Board they felt it needed something more, so after a lot of work from the experimental department, a soft toffee was added along the top, and Toffee Crisp was born.

The bars are sold in a bright orange wrapper with the words "Toffee Crisp" written with rounded lettering, bright yellow in colour with brown shadowing taking up most of the front. The texture of the bar is varied with the chocolate coating and the filling. A typical Toffee Crisp bar contains 12.2 g of fat, 8.0 g of which is saturated and 229 calories (11% of an adult's Recommended Daily Amount). Prices can range from 45p–65p.
