Specially packaged Christmas Chocolates & Snacks! :P~
-
I walked through Cold Storage after my evening shift today and absolutely oogled at all the specially packaged Christmas goodies that were displayed!!
There was this Snickers Popcorn that was actually popcorn with nuts, drizzled with chocolate and caramel!!
And then, there was Bacci! Mmmm... Rich milk chocolate with Hazelnut!
There were also Tim Tam's with a chocolate fudge centre.
Poppycock popcorn!!
Soooooo hard to resist!!!
But guess what? In the end, I didn't purchase any of them... because I simply couldn't make up my mind which one to get!!! hehehe!! 
Any of you out there face similar dilemma?
-
No, the only cravings I get are for ice-cream. It takes me forever to finish a snack unless I crave for it
-
Think of the bulging tummy...i will leave the food in memories...
-
Actually, it DOES take me forever to finish snacks and ice-cream. Last time I counted, a big bag of Lay's Sour Cream and Onion potato chips took me 19 days to finish! hehehe!
I've also kept a pint of B&J's ice-cream for 13 months till I had to throw it away because it was past its expiry date.
Each time I have a craving, I take just one or two scoops from the pint so it sorts of stays there forever! hehehe! -
buy everything!!!
-

I saw those huge bins of popcorn... so many different designs for the bins too! But $20 seems a tad too expensive for popcorn.
Can't bear to pay that price for it. -
currently fairprice selling those sweet popcorns in large pack at $1+, delish! :]~~Originally posted by Rhonda:HEY!! I'm like you too!! hehehe! I like the Meiji stuff too!

It'll take me 1-2 sittings to finish a big bag of Lay's Sour cream & onion chips! :p And next time you have trouble finishing food, do call me over!! (when I'm back in Singapore, that is :p) I wanna try B&J's Phish Food when I'm back... heard it's excellent!! Even the Aussies here are taking about it!Originally posted by Rhonda:Actually, it DOES take me forever to finish snacks and ice-cream.

Today I resisted having a McDonald 25cents ice cream cone during lunch...
Now it feels good... -
McDonald's ice cream is easy to resist, Eric. Not much of a temptation as far as I'm concerned.
-
Wow! It seems that alot of us are hooked on Ben & Jerry's! Maybe we should start a fan club!!
-

Yeah! We can have a fan club right here!Originally posted by elindra:Wow! It seems that alot of us are hooked on Ben & Jerry's! Maybe we should start a fan club!!
I remember the last time I was in Baltimore, MD, I had so much fun picking out the scoops of different flavoured ice cream for my sundae! Then I took it out to eat on the steps of Baltimore's World Trade Ctr Building whilst looking at the ferries in the harbour, the pleasure crafts, etc. So much fun!
Elindra, maybe we should all write letters to B&J's asking them to open stands here. If all of us write one letter, they might comply!
On another note, I can't wait to get to Genting in Feb 2005 again because the last time I was there, I visited the Baskin Robbins stand EVERYDAY! hehehe! -
AHHHH Baskin Robbins!!Originally posted by Rhonda:Yeah! We can have a fan club right here!

I wish they are back in Singapore! I prefer B&J and Baskin's ice-cream to Haagen Daaz! -
Yea me too! But so many flavours, don't know which one to choose each time we go there :p What are some of your fave flavours, Rhonda & Elindra?Originally posted by elindra:AHHHH Baskin Robbins!!

B&J - All time fav is Cherry GarciaOriginally posted by SydneyLibrarian:Yea me too! But so many flavours, don't know which one to choose each time we go there :p What are some of your fave flavours, Rhonda & Elindra?
Baskin - All time fav is the peppermint -
My very first pint of B&J's had Dilbert on the packaging. Apparently, it was only for a limited period. Didn't know ice-cream would have these limited period only gimmicks. I think it was smooth vanilla with chocolate covered pecans and crushed peanut brittle in it... something like that. No longer available.
Right now, in my fridge, I've got four pints of very rare B&J flavours -
Treasure #1 : Brownie Batter
Treasure #2 : Fudge Central with a Fudge Truffel Core
Treasure #3 : Half Baked (from the 2 twisted series) - 'Chocolate Fudge Brownie meets Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ; A Crazy Concoction of Chocolate Ice Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream mixed with Fudge Brownies and Gobs of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough'
Treasure #4 : Everything but the... (also from the 2 twisted series) - 'A collision of Chocolate Ice Cream & Vanilla Ice Cream mixed with health Bar Chunks, White Chocolatey Chunks, Peanut Butter Cups and Chocolatey-Covered Almonds'
SoooooooooooooOOOOOOOOooooooooo precious I only eat them on really really special occasions! hehe! As usual, my pints of ice cream stay forever in my fridge because when I do have my cravings, I only allow myself one scoop, sometimes, one scoop from each pint.
As for Baskin Robbins, I have to stand at their booth and select the flavours. Usually, I choose their Sundae concoctions where the frills are there and you just get to choose 2-3 ice cream flavours. YUMMY!!!!
Ice-cream, like chocolates, are toe-curlingly goooooooooood!
