    Of course it does. Any parent knows that if they buy any form of sweet, their children will appropriate them for themselves.

    You take sweets of that quality near your kids? Licorice has an 8 minute half life with me. :laugh:

        Have you seen how small Penguin biscuits are these days? Two bites and it's gone. I feel robbed. Wagon Wheels? Maybe on a wagon fit for a Borrower. And what happened to if-you-like-a-lot-of-chocolate-on-your-biscuit-join-our-Clubs? Now it looks like a molecule-thin layer deposited in a vacuum chamber. :sigh: (Edited for grammar.)

        To me, being across the pond, after I read that I was hesitant to Google Penguin biscuits lest I set off the corporate site blocker. But curiosity prevailed, thank goodness, another awful image purged from my mind. :laugh:

        It was broke, so I fixed it.

          The slogan of P-P-P-Pick up a Penguin could have taken a whole new meaning there.

                Liquorice gives you a good run for your money.

                  You're probably like me, my brain is several words ahead of my typing. Without the red squigglies I'd end up looking like a bad typist. (Hunt and peck typist that I am.) :)

                    I remember the day (granted, when I was five) when an apple required two hands to hold and half an hour to eat; now, they are small and can be finished in about 5 minutes. One of the reasons getting old sucks is that we still remember when the world seemed big and shiny and new.

                      I can vouch for that. I never get to see any of the chocolate/sweets that enter out house. :sigh:

                      Why can't I find a signature that I can stick with? Are they all gone?
