How do you like your coffee?

[nfotxn.livejournal.com]

Crisp!

[cub4bear.livejournal.com]

For some reason that still makes me laugh years later.

Doh, you ruined it! Fine, I'll tow the line.

I like my coffee crisp™!

And then the other lady says something along the lines of "Oh Josephine you were never one for kidding".

I'm sorry :(

Coffe Crisp is the fucking RAWK!! Whenever I visit my grandma in Madawaksa I always haul ass over to Edmundston NB to grab as much as I can legally carry over the damn border. LOL And I HATE Crunchie. :p I dunno why, it's basically that "sea foam" ultra-crunchy hard-to-bite-into toffee stuff that tastes like sweetened baking-soda covered in chocolate. :p *barf*

But yeah, CC is the shit. *nods* We have ketchup chips in Maine, but they're made by a Maine company and the suuuuck... the Canadian ones (the REAL shit) are awesome though. Steve had told me about them several times, so the last time I was in Madawaska I went and got some and uhm... oh shit dude, rockage. So I be schooled in the munchies of the "red, white, and maple leaf." ;) Being a good little French-Canadian boy I'm even familiar with poutine. ;p Although I hate cheese. And gravy. So I don't eat it. ;p

What about Dill Pickle chips.

What is frightening, is that they taste just like pickles.

We loves to go shopping in Windsor.

Yep, we have those! Made by the same company that makes the ketchup chips!

Crunchie you can get in New Zealand and Australia. :) They have a new Orange Crush flavoured Crunchie too, as well as an orange Coffee Crisp.

Big Turk is gross.

I had a champaign crunch in London, it was pretty fsckin' good.

Cadbury's Crunchie is quite big in Australia, where such confectionary "honeycomb" (we don't call it "sponge toffee") is traditional.

It's identical to a chocolate bar called Violet Crumble made by Nestlé, but I gather Violet Crumble is much older. As in, my 64 year-old dad remembers it from when he was a kid.

I know that Nestlé and Cadbury have a number of similar bars, but this is the only case where I've seen two bars that you literally wouldn't be able to tell apart. But then again, "chocolate-covered honeycomb" isn't all that complicated of an idea. You can buy generic brand products of the same thing.

And you know, I've never noticed Coffee Crisp in Australia. And believe me, I would have liked to.

I should have spaced that out better. :)

"They have a new Orange Crush flavoured Crunchie too, as well as an orange Coffee Crisp", should have been on a separate line referring back to Canada. DOH!

This so reminds me that in only 5 more days....
