Toffypops!

Cheers!

I would like to take a few moments to spread the word about Toffypops.

When I was very small I loved going to birthday parties. The details of when and where these parties took place, and even who they were for have begun to fade from my memory, although I do remember going to a pirate themed party with a in a old t-shirt, and a hanky tied to my head and a Thundercats 'Sword of Omens', which by this time was largely held together by sellotape, as my pirates cutlass. Anyway, the first thing I did upon arriving at a party was to go and check out the party food. There was always the usual tiny sausages, Wotsits, Skips and cubes of cheese, but quite often at one end of the table you would find plates of cakes and biscuits. My favourite of these plates would usually consist of Chocolate Fingers, Party Rings and Toffypops! Toffypops are the single greatest biscuit ever created. They are a toffee filled shortbread style biscuit with milk chocolate on the top, and they taste amazing!

By the age of ten I had noticed that the birthday parties I had attended had been noticeably void of my favourite biscuits. I began to look for them in shops and supermarkets but alas they were no where to be found. Toffypops were no longer in production in the UK! For the next 8 years I looked for them every time I was in a supermarket with no joy. the nearest thing that I found to the taste was caramel Rocky bars, but even those weren't as good as Toffypops.

At the age of 15, on a trip to Tesco for a family weekly shop I went over to the shelves that were home to Happy Faces and Party Rings and to my shock saw a packet of Toffypops! i bought 3 packet that day and ate them slowly over the following week. Three weeks later I returned to the same Tesco and they were once again nowhere to be seen. I had to wait another 9 years before I found them again.

For the time being Toffypops are available from all good supermarkets but my fear is that If people don't continue to buy them they may disappear again, and this time forever!


So, if you have never tried them go out and buy a pack today! I promise you will not be disappointed!


Boos!

Just a short one, I've got a tummy bug so I'm not eating much at the moment, I even went to a McDonald's in a service station yesterday and just ordered a large Coke! What's Wrong With ME!?!
