Plus reduced risk of child choking to death

Actually one thing I was thinking of posting was the ridiculous obsession with health and safety these days. Whatever happened to the thrill of the risk? If there’s something watery, you don’t necessarily need railings next to it. If you fall in, it’s your OWN FAULT! If it’s a child who falls in, BLAME THE PARENTS!

Oh, I don't mean on here, I mean in general. The ones we have on Teams in work are ANIMATED.

Well fair to specify that social media is far worse than forums. At least forums are mostly moderated and bigotry and trolling are largely not tolerated. Social media is a cesspit!

Rom Coms. Mostly straight to streaming and cheap with C-List actors now.

What was the last properly good one?

I don't really care about A list stars in romcoms, as long as there's chemistry.

The French one, Populaire is the only truly great one I can think of in recent years. Quite a few good coming of age ones like Easy A, but that’s still going back 10 years.

That was the joy of the uni. Need to bump up the body count for that pedalo explosion? Tawney and Mercutio have just returned from Summer break and haven’t had a storyline since they both married Mercedes on the same day six months ago…

MY TURN

Number of those I ate as a kid: 3
Number I have eaten as an adult: 3
Number I would eat now: 3 (this includes Crispy Pancakes, Mini Kievs and - OBVIOUSLY - crinkle cut chips :disco:)
 
I can honestly say that I have NEVER partaken of Sunny Delight or eaten Pop Tarts. Bernie's turkey roast, though... DELICIOUS
 
I’ve never heard of most of those but poptarts are still great as an adult, for the first two bites
 
We never had Sunny Delight either. I think I once tried it at a school friend's house and it was AWFUL

Boil-in-the-bag cod though, AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. Possibly an exaggeration, but god I hated it

Can't believe they forgot our beloved FRAY BENTOS though!
 
Crinkle chips definitely taste better than non-crinkle, and I don't care for the facetious tone of that article.

Sunny Delight was ace. My mum always brings up how I called a friend's mum a better mum "because they have SUNNY D". It tastes like watered down orange drink you get at kids parties these days.
 
I've had Currywurst with normal chips and Currywurst with crinkle cut chips and well I wonder which tasted better :disco:
 
I find crinkle cut don't tend to soak up the vinegar as well which is my main priority for a chip

Just checked what I've currently got in the freezer - MCCAINS CHUNKY HOME STYLE :horny:

I have a distinct memory of a MORAL PANIC over Sunny D turning children orange :D

Its true! I always assumed it was one of those playground rumours (like Kenan and/or Kel dying in a plane crash :()

Too much Sunny Delight turns girl's skin yellow

THE MANUFACTURER of one of Britain's best-selling soft drinks, Sunny Delight, admitted yesterday that too much of it could send a child yellow.
