A real dilemma! What do you do?

Someone’s bored

Mints still in the After Eight box?
And still in wrapper.
A failure of hosting I’m afraid.

Arrange on silver plate only with Fortnum and Mason bag lurking discreetly in the background ?

Just on isn’t enough, they’re so thin. Take half a dozen in their wrappers, scoff them and bin the wrappers.

Just one, not on.

In To The Manor Born the lady of the manor complained about people leaving the wrappers in the box as she'd ended up offering the Lord Lieutenant a box of waste paper.

My rule for life is what's right for Audrey Fforbes-Hamilton is right for me.

??????

I’m in with Blossoming, I’ll have what she leaves.

Keep hold of the box and eat the ones that are left - it's a public service!

I take the mint with the packet and then do that thing where you look around not knowing where to put it until the box is offered back to put it in.

At home I just take the mint then am disappointed when I think there are some left when it's all empty packets.

They changed the recipe (about twenty years ago) so they're no longer vegan. Before that, no problem - I'd just take the box and eat them all!

Yuk- no thanks!

was it vegan chocolate, so long ago, in a mainstream product ?
i imagined chocolate always had milk in it.
but i haven't eaten any since 1972, so don't know.

Being a posh lass from up north I know a bit abart this kinda stuff, the fancy wrapper bag thing is to put ya chewing gum in so yer can enjoy the posh mint.
Leave the bag on the coffee table and put your chewy back in as you leave.

I think they are horrible things but then I hate everything that tastes or smells of mint.

Have you tried them frozen? OMG. Amazing.

Dark chocolate turns my stomach over. Why are minty flavoured chocolates always in dark chocolate? I love the mint taste but can only eat milk or white chocolate.

You take the wrapper too, then while you're munching your mint, you tear off the two bottom corners, so it ends up like a little pair of knickers.
Then you put them on 2 fingers, and pretend it's a person walking around in their pants.
I always do that.

Have they got smaller, or is it my imagination?

MissAdventure. I’m definitely going try that when friends are here over Xmas.

You could have a race!

Winner gets an extra mint.

Now that's class MissA! You're proper posh you are!

I know how to make a party swing.

But if, in polite society, you take it out with the wrapper - then what do you do with the wrapper? (Apart from making it into a pair of knickers!)

Screw it up and throw it on the coffee table, discreetly put it in your pocket, deposit it in an empty coffee cup?
