Yorkies?

[elaby]

A question for our British friends:

We visited a British imported goods store last weekend because they're the only place around where we can find McVitie's digestive biscuits (thank you, kniblet and dibsy for introducing us to this delicacy!) and we came across a chocolate bar called Yorkies which proclaims "This is not for girls!" Naturally, taking this as a challenge, we bought one.

It tastes, as far as I can tell, like a regular, no-frills chocolate bar.

So what's the boy-only-ness?

Wikipedia FTW! (new window)

Maybe I'm stupid, but I still couldn't figure out why it wasn't for girls from the Wiki entry O_o Unless it's just that chunkier chocolate is for guys?

They also have Pocky For Men!

Raisin and bikkit ones are yummy. I bought Thingy a Girly Yorkie bar in Pink when it was available.

He didn't even notice!

Ooh, I saw the raisin ones at the store, but I wasn't sure if I'd like them so I went with the regular kind :)

Hee XD Pink!

supposed to be too chunky for girls.

It's not even particularly nice chocolate. Go for Dairy Milk instead. Much nicer. :-)

Like... it's in big chunks, chunky? Because it certainly wasn't FULL of chunks (of something besides chocolate) or anything.

I'll try that next time! I thought the Yorkie bar was okay, but I wasn't stunned :)

yeah, the chunks of chocolate are pretty big, compared to a regular chocolate bar.

I'd eat one, but only if I was totally out of decent chocolate, and I wouldn't choose one if presented with almost any other choice.

Hee :) I see! I was expecting it to have bits of stuff or something like that.

I have just fallen MADLY in love with Cadbury's Eclairs. Going to get a big bag next time we're at that store!

[dakegra.livejournal.com]

mmm, they're nice.

I should send a chocolate sample next time I send a parcel over!

I'm suddenly feeling like I so fail at being British, because I don't think I know what those are.

~hangs head in shame~

*pats* It's okay! They're really yummy :) They're like little caramels with chocolate in the middle.

Hee ^_^ I'm glad he likes them!

It's one of those size queen things. For some reason, marketing it as the chocolate of choice for lorry drivers seemed like a great idea.

Huh... okay! Marketing comes up with some strange stuff ^_^
