Where can I get hold of a Holly bar?
jammed says:
Hmm, good question.
I had these sent over by a friend. Lucky me. I'm afraid Cybercandy.co.uk doesn't stock them either. Why not????
I'd say that a Holly bar is really similar to a Topic. And that a Yankie bar is like a Mars (with a more Milky way type base). But not exactly either of them. I'd choose a Holly and a Yankie over the US-Big-Corporation products any day.
Gael (NLI) says:
ah well, I just know a girl called Holly who'd be tickled pink by those : )
And your blog was advertising Weight Watchers just now, sacrilege!
jammed says:
Weight watches - thats nasty.
It should have been an ad for Copenhagen! A wonderful place. You should go - its cheap with easyJet, or take Ryanair to Malmo and take the frequent coach into Cphgn.
Gael says:
I might just do that, James.
I spent 3 weeks touring Scandinavia ages back, but we managed to miss Copenhagen out : (
Off to Finland at Easter, maybe they'l have some there?
And I'll be sure to moblog all the Reindeer and stuff that we eat ...
jammed says:
Reindeer is fantastic. I had it at a Russian restaurant in Helsinki - but didn't see it anywhere else :(
I hope to be over there again soon.
melissaamy says:
what is that candy named spunk?
not sure what spunk means over there, but it is slang here for a certain type of fluid...
jammed says:
I had a New Zealand friend, who liked to say she was "full of spunk" when she had lots of enery. How I laughed.
The candy is like a hard jelly type thing. Here theres the Fruit Spunk and the Cola Spunk. The Salty Spunk tastes too weird to me.
melissaamy says:
salty spunk, ok, now I must go find so to add to my weird foods collection!
melissaamy says:
and, fringhtneingly, when I did a search for salty spunk candy, only one came up with candy, the rest....well they were not work safe!
and yes, spunk here means energy and such, but it has a "seedier" meaning as well!
jammed says:
Funny.
heres a work safe:

melissaamy says:
yeah, that was the one that came up work safe, the rest were a tad naughty...

I work regularly in Denmark and on my last visit in Feb discovered that there are a lot of promotional items on sale for spunk. Backpacks, fleece blankets, towels all with the spunk logo on them!
