Is Chocolate Good For You?
I’ve just stumbled upon an article all about why chocolate is good and not-so good for us. Rather than me repeat it here feel free to read the source.
What effect does chocolate have on you? Please comment.
Hotel Chocolat Cracker
We were fortunate to receive a gift the other day for our search company and promised to show the photos here.
It’s a Hotel Chocolat Rather Large Cracker and well, as you can see it was rather large!
It was a proper cracker but it was a bit too tough for my young daughters to pull so me and Mum pulled it. Here are the chocolatey goodies that spilled out:
There was a selection of 40 chocolates with a Christmas theme, some containing alcohol. The cracker also contained 12 party hats and some jokes too.
Easter Eggs In Tesco
My wife visited our local Tesco Extra store this morning here on The Wirral and spotted that they were stocking their shelves with Easter eggs!
The Telegraph reports that Woolworths are another high street retailer and widely recognised Easter egg seller who are already selling eggs in-store. Their spokesman says:
We always sell Easter eggs as soon as Christmas is over as a lot of our customers like to be organised. We’ve done this for 50 years.
Seems rather early to me - what do you think?
Only The Crumbliest, Flakiest Chocolate
One of the Cadburys Flake TV adverts. Not so much suggestive behaviour in this particular one.
Joss Stone To Be New Flake Girl
It’s been widely reported that young singing star Joss Stone is to become the new Cadburys Flake girl.
The previous Flake adverts are very well known for their suggestive undertones, linking sex to chocolate. It’s understood that the new adverts, to be aired in Spring 2008, will not follow in the same manner. As The Guardain reports
Since launching in 1959, the Flake Girl ads have been noted for their occasionally risque themes. As far back as 1969’s black-and-white ad, the clips have been associated with more than a hint of sexual pleasure.
Previous famous Flake girls include the 1969 Miss World, Eva Rueber-Staier, who also starred in some James Bond films.
