    So anyway, we all know just how awful most penguin bar jokes can be, but this one had a 'funny fact' on it instead.... anyways, I must say I wasnt exactly pissing myself when I read it.... although it is funny in the 'i cant believe a bar aimed at kids is trying to pass this off as funny' kind of way....

    Could I report McVities for this?? I wonder if i could force them to give me hush money... oh, wait..... bit late for that now

    works fine for me

    all about scorpions and alcohol and killing itself

    since when are penguin bars aimed at kids, i see them as the universal bar

    Anyone know why scorpions do this? Is it a case of the alcohol causes them pain/irritation and they try to remove it with the only thing that'll reach their back i.e. their tail? Or is it something completely differant.

    don't know if it's inappropriate or not, after all how many penguin eating kids can get hold of pure alcahol and a scorpion? not sure if i could and i'm a big kid.

    i'm guessing it just does what it does to people, but that instead of passing out on the bathroom floor with kebab sauce down it's front and dog ends in it's pockets, the alcahol affects its brain in such a way it makes it suicidal.

    kinda like when you half kill a wasp. they seem hell bent on sucking the poison off their own stings to finish the job.

    either way, it might be interesting to see it.

    I think it's nothing more than a minor "fun fact".

    Pernguins are actually being marketed outside the childrens age group for the last few years as an attempt to make it a "biscuit"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,905 ✭✭✭User45701


    Does that mean a drop of Ethenol (is that how you spell it?)
    Or does it mean a simple drop from beer or something that is only 4-5%
    Or does it mean Vodka that is 50%
    Or absinthe that is 80%?

    anywayit is quite funny all we need now is a scorpian


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    JESUS CHRIST!!!
    I havent had a penguin in ages... too long in fact. I'm off to the shops


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 372 ✭✭catspring


    that's a pretty interesting fact.
    on a slightly-less-relevant-to-the-thread note, the ultimate way to eat a penguin bar is to take a small bite out of one corner, and then take another small bite off the corner at the other end and on the other side of the bar (so it's diagonal) then place one of the holes into tea/coffee/preferred hot drink and suck so the drink goes inside the bar making it all melted and squishy and then eat it.
    it's the business, and the only useful thing i learned from my first ever job.... nyom!

    Sad fact: That alchol fact doesn't work, neither does lighting a ring of fire around a scorpion.

    I know, I've tried both. Only option is throwing them out a window over a cliff in your slipper (yes, I did).

    Other interesting facts about scorpions: They can run really fu*k'n fast, much faster than you'd expect and can clime naked skin no problem. ANd killing them with a shoe is a basta*d and a half to do.

    And pengiun bars are great. Espically with a cold glass of milk.

    Well I told my 3 year-old that throwing salt on a slug will make it shrivel up and die and now she carried a McDonalds salt sachet around in her pocket just in case.

    But why would Penguin Bars Lie to us?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Because there evil products of communist china!



    Well thats what the nice US government man told me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,945 ✭✭✭D-Generate


    I thought scorpions were immune to their own venom and hence when two scorpions fight they don't die from the venom.....

    firstly: you evil bastard
    secondly: you just ruined the whole idea for everyone! thanks.

    So we've gotten McVities on tw counts here.

    Firstly they are encouraging the mistreatment of animals by advocating scorpian torture, and secondly they are lying to us about how to mistreat an animal....... bastards the lot of them.....
