True; I don't think that I had a problem that I was stopped, he seemed ****ed off that I was there!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Apparently Americans like American chocolate but not British chocolate and theirs tastes like vomit to us! It was on a TV show and they did actually explain it scientifically. I had a delicious chilli dark chocolate bar yesterday.

Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Quote:
I heard that the reason aus choc tastes rank is because they use palm oil (not impressed - think of the orang utangs) to ensure it doesn't melt in the heat. Maybe similar in the us? |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
British Gas send me a patronising letter saying due to an error their end they couldn't collect a direct debit a month and a half ago.
I have sent them a complaint. I do my best complaining when I finish nights

Hmm... not met any Americans who have tried UK chocolate didn't think it was better. American chocolate tastes as if it was made with greasy water vs. UK chocolate which tastes as if it's made with rich creamy milk. American chocolate also has a subtle bitter taste despite any amount of sugar added. It is rubbish compared to chocolate in the UK. Let's be honest. Almost all food in the UK is better than American food because of all of the preservatives added and also because milk is pasturized differently.

Proper chocolate doesn't melt in the heat. But it's expensive.
