LOL Our givernment just banned large size chocolate!
 

Tony Blair has gone too far this time! They have banned large sized chocolate bars among other things in an effort to make the nation healthier.

It would be a great thing if the country was healthier but telling us what size chocolate we can buy is going too far....

My 2nd home is near Hershey, PA. I'll send you a 10 lb Hershey bar. :winkwink:

First I've heard of it. Where did you hear that?

Oh - and you can keep the hershie bar. It doesn't even come close to the taste of a huge bar of cadburys :)

The Cadbury vending machines crack me the hell up. Only Cadbury thing I can remember seeing in the states are the annual Cream Eggs.

Damn - you had to go and mention cream eggs. Now I'm wondering if the 24 hour garage down the road has got some...

brb.. off to the 24hr arage to get some cream eggs :glugglug

1 medium chocolate bar + 1 medium chocolate bar = 1 large chocolate bar :winkwink:

I don't eat much candy, but I'd be pissed if the government told me how large my streaks could be.

I wouldn't know. I hate chocolate. lol

My father hates chocolate also...

... very strange!

What's funny is several people in the States want similar restrictions on foods. It's absolutely ridiculous.

maybe it will work i dunno but i dont think its fair to tell people what they can do to this extent

mmmm..... i love chocolates!

I'm surprised indeed.. not that I'm a chocolic but how's that?

yeah! i agree.. that's too much..

Ah - makes a change from telling us we can't have bananas of a certain shape or pies or whatever else they want to leap on and exaggerate until people start to believe that a remark often made in jest by a politician is true. :winkwink:

I suppose at least it wasn't the Sun 'reporting' it this time.

I guess he wasn't smart enough to realize that people can just buy three or four of the smaller ones if they feel like pigging out.

The should ban all chocolate until they stop using child slaves to make it. :2 cents:

Blah people wiill just eat more small chocolates :P

my god that is so stupid,


does anyone feel like that is a good use of time/energy/money?

LOL


Go BlAiR!

Sorry - missed the BBC link. So...it's not really a true ban. Mearly a suggestion in a government report that confectionary produces have jumped on to remove unprofitable lines and gain some huge, free publicity :glugglug

I agree... that is insane!

I dont mind blair he and his government has done allot for our country in the last few years but i dont fancy his chances in the next election..

He must step down soon, i expect it anyway

Cadbury is the bomb!!

Well yes sort of right, basically if they dont follow this government line the so called 'fat tax' will kill the business

(if you dont know the fax tax story this is about extra tax going onto unhealthly food much the same way as cigarette tax but on the producer, but not that high obviously.

LOL, just wait until a bunch of pms'ing women find out they can't buy a large chocolate bar when they need it the most. It could get real ugly for Blair....:winkwink:

Agreed.

As it happens i have a couple of Cadburys chocolate bars in the refrigerator :Graucho

Might have to go and break open the Fruit + Nut or the Crunchie multipacks :Graucho

LOL yeh thats true.. they would hold back :1orglaugh

that is classic stuff man, but you know we should be making some efforts to help this counrty lose weight, i mean what is like 60% or more are over weight

Hah! The cadbury bunnies don't go into heat until late winter or so. Unfortunately they are out of season. :1orglaugh

Makes sense to me. Sugar is a drug.

Do they? I can imagine some whackos trying to ban super-sized meals.

And people say that the US is fucked up???

That is crazy.

yeh it is true. something should be done.

..education on healthy food as children in my opinion, oh and a cut back on marketing junk to children (we all know who im refering to there mainly)

Im lovin' it ;)

Regards,

Lee

:1orglaugh

Maybe Blair just heard of our new site Its Just Chocolate and lost his apetite for it







(sorry couldn't resist)

Only terrorists eat large size chocolate!

:ak47:

:1orglaugh

Yup couldn't agree more. My ass is too fat for my new jeans which I bought two weeks ago.

Tony Blair needs to do something about that!

:1orglaugh

Just like when fast food places cut out supersize people will just order 2 packs of fries.

God damnit.
I'm a chocoholic, living in the U.K.. this wont stop people from buying chocolate lol. What baffles me is why they decide to ban shit like this, instead of creating rec. centres that work, or more gyms.

This is starting to become G.W.B's U.K :321GFY

lol wow that is ridiculous!

Besides, all they need to do is rename the sizes like they do with pizza, except add a new Super Jumbo Large size that is auto-banned. Then you can order a medium and get a large.

Oh and yeah, nothing beats a nice dark chocolate..

Your country is so pathetic you aren't even allowed to choose what food you can eat.
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

what about the skinny guys who need to eat them just to keep their weight?
