Cadbury eggs are disgustingly sweet.

They made me realize that Euros were lying when they say that American food is super sweet to their tastes. I’ve never had anything with more sugar in it than a Cadbury crème egg.

Cadbury's used to have pretty nice chocolate. It wasn't amazing, but for bog standard cheap chocolate it was decent. It became less nice about 20 years ago, and then went to absolute shit a decade ago, shortly after being acquired by Mondelez. It not only tastes really bad, but it feels disgusting in your mouth. It doesn't melt like chocolate, instead it kind of disintegrates into a strange waxy residue that coats your mouth. It's actively unpleasant.

It's not the only one to go that way either, Lindt, Milka, Toblerone, all became awful around that time. Some chocolates held up. Mars Celebrations were decently edible up until around two years ago and now they are foul. The best place to get decent chocolate at non-artisan prices is Lidl and Aldi. Most, but not all, of their chocolate still tastes like chocolate is supposed to.

I distinctly remember Buncha Crunch went to seed once they started selling it outside of movie theaters.
It used to be my favorite junk food, but now it's not even worth buying.
Fucking hell, Nestle, if you're going to be actively evil at least let me enjoy some sweet treats in exchange.

I mean, it's not exactly a good cartoon, but you can do worse.

Dr. Blight being a female Two-Face was pretty cool I think.

Blight wasn't a female Two Face. Her disfigurement was hidden/never mentioned 99% of the time (and the one time it was brought up, she stated her disfigurement made her even sexier than other women and then gave a speech ranting about how hard it was to be taken seriously as as a super sexy mad scientist) and didn't have any of Two face's mental problems.

If anything, Dr Blight was Green Goblin tier Uber villain in terms of being both over the top but also incredibly hyper competent. To the point that her episodes were always the best because you knew shit was going to hit the fan in terms of a good fight.

Over there most non-artisan chocolate is so fucking shit that it melts in flakes, there's so much palm oil or whatever that the instant it goes over 25C, it more or less melts in a crystalline pattern like some voronoi shit.
Most people don't really realize that because they just eat it before it has any time to melt in the mouth so it's often overlooked.
The reason why, i think, is that similar to mayo, they do an emulsion with as much oil as possible to reduce costs and any heat is enough to make the oil seep back together and starts at the seams that are normally invisible when solid.

Find someone who looks at you the way Democrats look at Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Nah. I've been chewed up and spit out already in two past marriages. I know that look all too well. If someone looks at you the way the dems look at their pet criminal of the day, RUN AWAY, VERY FAST.

I've liked peter for about 7 years now and i'm also very confused by his reactions the past year. His entire prediction thesis is being proven right and now he's mad about it? I just don't get it.

What is the run down on the Supreme Court ruling thingy this morning? I figured the headlines I saw were just fluff and a general misrepresentation.

It would be more accurate to describe her as a human female Dr. Viper, really.

Thanks to Trump not accepting the offered 0 for 0 trade agreement with the EU. I have no cadbury eggs for Easter this year. Trump thinks he can just magically lower trade deficits with "deals"

You are dividing the European diaspora from the homeland at a time when both need it.

Please stop concern trolling. You're offering no counter solutions here.

They punted it back to the lower courts like the pussies they are rather than granting it an emergency hearing. Roberts is so obsessed with appearing "non-biased" that they'll likely do this with every big case.
