Enjoy the things you can afford
Brand: Innocent Cost: £1 Found at: Tesco I'm low-key shook. Maybe it's because I'm a grumpy old curmudgeon who is suspicious of everything, but I was certain that this would disappoint. Anything healthy that even implies chocolate and I am out. It's either not healthy or not chocolate and either way, I'm not buying it.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Glico Found at: Bokkusu I don’t pretend to understand this giant, unmeltable ice-cream cone. It’s one of those things that asks more questions than it answers. Who at Glico was eating an ice cream cone and thought to themselves: “If only it were room temperature.”? What CEO or mid-level manager greenlit the idea... Continue Reading →
Brand: Galaxy Cost: £1 Found at: Iceland It took me a long time to realize that I was extra. Looking back, it was a missed opportunity. I sent my first twenty years of existence living simply: wearing modest, plain, practical clothes. Eating modest, plain, practical food. Driving a modest, plain, practical car and spouting...

Brand: Cadbury Cost: £1 Found at: Iceland I went to a liberal arts school and got myself a liberal arts degree. If drinks the Cool-Aid about cross-disciplinary collaboration, it’s me. Medical students should learn about anthropology, art history students should learn about chemistry, and philosophy students should be taken outside periodically and made to... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nestle Cost: £0.70 Found at: Tesco Yuck. I mean, just yuck. It may seem like I’ve got an ax to grind with Nestle. And I do – I think they are a corporation with a long history of corporate greed and avarice that has hurt people, particularly people at risk. But that’s... Continue Reading →
Brand: Nestle Cost: £1.50 Found at: Morrisons Once again, Nestle has me feeling deceived. Everything about these chocolates says elegance and sophistication. They come in a long, dark green box with a provocative name. Each square of chocolate is individually wrapped in its own little paper sleeve. When I reach for one, I feel... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £1.15 Found at: Morrisons In my head, this chocolate bar was supposed to taste like munching on a box of chocolates while sipping on a Gin and Tonic. In the cold, damp Scottish winter, this chocolate bar promised to transport me to the Cairo of Death on The Nile – all... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cadbury Cost: £0.40 Found at: Tesco I did not know what Turkish delight was until just now, so for all those out there who (like me) only know it as a Narnia reference, Turkish delight is basically rose-flavored gelatine (about the consistency of a gummy bear on a hot day). This Cadbury Turkish... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cadbury Cost: 70p Found at: Tesco There is not enough yes in the world to describe how I feel about this candy bar. I’ve been playing candy bar junior varsity my whole life, and I’ve just been brought up to the big leagues. This candy bar is positively phe-no-me-nal. There are some... Continue Reading →
Brand: Metcalf’s Found at: Tesco Cost: : £1 Rice cakes can do many things very well, but desert, it seems, is not one of them. I enjoyed the chocolate coating on these cakes, and the flavor of the rice was pretty good, but somewhere in the combination process, the dark chocolate leeched into the... Continue Reading →
