What if you weren't a navel orange

    Picture the scene. You're an orange and you get chatting to the other oranges in the fruit and veg section and you realise there's an orange totally superior to you in every way.

    Tasty, easily peeled and no pips. How devastated would you feel?

    People of After Hours, what other products have a vastly superior rival that just trumps all others in its class trampling on the self esteem of its competitors and leaving them feeling like the second class citizens they are?

    If I was an orange, and you were an orange, I doubt we would grade ourselves by how edible we are. It's my utterly massive PIPS that would have the rest of you fruits peeling yourselves with envy.

    I've driven other marques in my time, but have yet to find anything that beats a BMW. It's that mix of build quality, performance, comfort and technology that make them so enjoyable to drive. The cabin design is incredible and everything smacks of quality and good German engineering.

    I've never understood people who buy the plain aero. The mint one is way nicer.

    The green Balisto is so much better than the yellow one.

    Get a square of normal aero, put it on your tongue, take a sup of hot tea, hold the tea in your mouth and push the chocolate up to the roof of your mouth. The bubbles will burst and melt all over your tongue.

    mmmmmmm

    doesn't work as well with the mint.

    I thought that the reason they got rid of balistos was because I was the only person on the planet who liked them.

    god I've love a balisto and a cuppa now.

    So a red one, try the green next time. Just like with Balistos they are far superior.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,592 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    What's a ballisto?

    A disgusting sticky toffee,biscuit and chocolate bar.

    Good Lord... 'I drive a Bee Em Double-You.
    You drive an over priced, over complicated, over played faux-wealth mobile.

    They're a nice car, no doubt. Over engineering everything is bound to eventually result in a nice car in the same way that a collection of monkeys, armed with typewriters will eventually write Hamlet. They are indeed, a classy car but have been utterly destroyed, image wise, by the middle class, faux snobbery that avails of their second hand value.

    New, they're the kind of car that lose so much value, you can literally smell burning money when you turn the key for the first time. As a result, these middle class, pseudo snobs, who think people are still impressed with a propeller badge, can afford them after three or four years.

    The only classy beamer drivers left, are beamer drivers who don't let you know they own one. Drivers who only say so, as the subject drifts subtley into conversation, unlike what your post attempted.

    A car that generally costs around the 50 grand mark and only comes with a 2 Year warranty is not that impressive. Even Audis are Jumped up Volkswagens and their interiors are far nicer places to be.

    Bees are far superior to wasps.

    And bonnets are far superior to baseball caps.

    I once bought a KitKat without any wafer in it. Just chocolate.
    Best KitKat I ever had.

    I felt robbed when a similar thing happened me with a packet of peanut M&Ms.

    If I'd wanted the ghastly, thirst-inducing, brown packet ones I'd have bloody well bought them!

    In summery, Peanut M&Ms over the other varieties.

    And yes, I am including the peanut butter flavour in that. I know, I know, they are delicious but it's tough going to finish a big bag of them.

    I have never tasted peanut butter. Ever.

    And beetle bonnets trump all other bonnets... :cool:

    wait did you know about The Garlic - not only it's pre sliced , but pre packed by nature it self .
    Beat that orange


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,195 ✭✭✭✭jimgoose


    I would point at this orange, laugh and go "Ner-Ner!!" because he is clearly a genetically-engineered freakazoid, like David Hasselhoff.

    I wouldn't be a fan of the spread, smooth or chunky, but when its in an M&Ms is exquisite.

    Still, the peanut M&M trumps all.
