Snickers Bars! Oh I'm drooling!

crazyH Mon 04-Dec-23 11:16:26

Why? Have they been discontinued? I love them too?

midgey Mon 04-Dec-23 11:24:36

You don’t need them……you just want one! I know exactly what you mean. grin

Are you pregnant?

They’re very slurpy but a bit on the hard side to bite into.I’ve just rediscovered Bounty Bars, mmmmm.

I love the Snickers ice cream bars too.

Snickers used to be called something else…twix?

They have stopped making the dark chocolate Bounty Bars which are the ones I really like as I prefer dark chocolate. I actually prefer the snickers ice cream to the actual bars but only buy as a very occasional treat in the summer.

Snickers used to be Marathon

silverlining48 Mon 04-Dec-23 18:54:34

Oh that’s right, are twix still Twix then?

I used to eat a Mars bar everyday on the way home from school !
Just one small bite is far too sweet for me now.
My teeth, of course suffered sad

I don't buy chocolate. If it's in the house I have to eat it. My DD bought me a Lindt advent calendar and now I want to open day 6 as I'm thinking about chocolate.

A snicker bar is our 'keep you going' food, usually the half way point of a long walk. Then we have to walk the long way round home to use up all those calories!

Haha! That reminds me - an icecream Snickers bar was my daily afternoon need (definitely need not want!!) in the hot weeks of August 1995 before my daughter was born at the end of that month.

Snickers yuch! Peanuts with chocolate is just wrong!

After being diagnosed with typed 2 Diabetes about 15 years ago and having worked very hard to be in remission now i avoid all sweet things. Now I find I don't want them. I do enjoy fruit though.

Nipsmum………
I feel guilty now! I was prediabetic and sorted it with diet but my goodness I still do have a sweet tooth and have to rein myself in sometimes.
Some people do have the attitude that they will take the medication and put up with the consequences but I truly do not want that.
But now and again a bar of chocolate or slice of cake just finds its way to me.

My DH was the only person I know who would have half a Snickers bar and save the rest for next day. I am moved to tears each time I walk past them in the supermarket.

I went on a Mars bar diet after childbirth, Mars for breakfast , lunch and dinner with vitamin pills. It worked! Baby weight went in a couple of weeks. I also bought a pack of four Mars bars for the three kids and me, however I decided to eat mine before I left the car park. Unfortunately it crossed my mind I'd have to watch the kids eat theirs and I wouldn't have one so I thought of popping back into the shop to buy another one but decided I'd rather eat the other three before I went home. So that's what I did! grin I think I may have been a bit addicted....

It used to be Clarnico Peppermint Creams. I would buy 'a quarter', every day, but managed to stop, eventually.
Missdeke, we had a neighbour, with 4 children. She would buy a pack of 6 doughnuts, and eat one when she got home. Then because there wasn't enough for everybody to have one after tea, she ate the rest! She was rather big!

midgey Wed 06-Dec-23 13:26:25

Can I recommend a melted Mars bar over ice cream, it’s totally delicious!

I've just had my lunch and I'm hungry again. Need to leave this thread.
