    Just doing a psychological test here to test the power of positive influence. People here I suggest you go buy a Cadbury flake today. You can't go wrong with the crumbliest flakiest milk chocolate in the world. They are very nice and yummy with tea or coffee, also when you are having a 99'r ice cream cone or so they use to be called.

    If you buy one then post here.....

    What kind of results will this experiment bring? I will check back here later to see the results.

    Good luck!

    I went to the shop and they are sold out. Your experiment is a huge success.

    How about you buy me a Cadbury flake and then I'll report back on the "crumbliest flakiest milk chocolate in the world".

    I refuse to be influenced. Screw you Cadburys!! I’m not gonna buy one!

    Phallic-shaped chocolate bar, think of how offended people would be with those TV ads now?

    Snowflake references would actually make sense in this thread.

    S**t! I was going to post a different sentiment but now I want a white chocolate flake......


    Always hard to start a positive thread on After Hours OP, but kudos for trying. I went drinking and ate too much at the weekend though so I'm trying to be good this week, and thinking about white chocolate flakes is not helping.

    Would quite fancy one, same with the Top deck. Cadbury have a poor attitude towards white chocolate.

    That's the dehydrated milk chocolate for you.

    The old ads made much of the 'mickyness' of that bar. Always featured young women biting into the bar and licking up the crumbly bits suggestively.

    There are white chocolate flakes?? When did this happen and how do they taste?

    Perhaps you should treat yourself to a white chocolate flake after work.

    Think they haven't been sold here for a long time. Think the Aussies still have them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    I bought one.

    It tasted like chocolate never tasted before.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,860 ✭✭✭Ragnar Lothbrok


    Got one from the vending machine in work. Brought it back to my desk. Started to eat it but dropped bits of it into my lap, which I then had to scrape up from my crotch.

    Now I have an appointment with HR for "unacceptable work-place behaviour".

    Damn you Cadbury's Flake :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,764 ✭✭✭my3cents


    I bought one.

    It tasted like chocolate never tasted before.

    Thats due to the cheaper ingredients since the Kraft then Mondelez take over.

    If I was going to, I'd get a Twirl. They're like a flake without the mess.

    The twirl is the thinking man's/woman's flake!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,863 ✭✭✭Beta Ray Bill


    Plus the blowjob undertones.

    We see the undertones and we say... Let's blow? Eh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,507 ✭✭✭✭dastardly00


    I just bought a Twirl :D

    I'm eating a Bueno. Fcuk you flake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,378 ✭✭✭mojesius


    Fcuk this thread. I'd love a flake or a twirl but am a recovering chocolate addict so going cold turkey. Not an hour passes when dont I think about chocolate.

    I loved flakes when I was a kid. My mam used to give me the flake in a cup so I wouldn't drop half of it all over me!

    Can't eat 3 flake bars in bed so nope. Twirls and drifters are the far superior chocolate bar.

    Flakes are a great topping for pavlova, but a Flake with tea? I'm just not feeling it.

    Anyway, what are the conclusions drawn from your experiment OP?

    In the spirit of full disclosure, I did not purchase a Flake today, meaning that I have not met the requirement to post in your thread, however, I am doing so anyway so as to convey my opinion on Flakes' compatibility with other consumables, and to express my curiosity about the results of your experiment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 827 ✭✭✭pxdf9i5cmoavkz


    I just bought a Twirl :D

    You convinced me!

    I do like the fact that Cadbudys flake was one of the very first specialised wrapped chocolate bars sold c. 1920. Despite some changes tbh it's quite amazing it's still around tbh.

    Though I'm not sure that a 99 would ever be a '99' without one? I prefer my icecream cone plain - I find the flake always gets in the way ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,394 ✭✭✭Pac1Man


    I never saw the Flake appeal. You open the wrapper, lose a quarter of it straight away. Take a bite, only half stays in your mouth. At the end you are left licking the wrapper dry because you didn't get your expected chocolate hit.

    Bits always land on your clothes which then melt and dry in.

    Good idea but a terrible suggestion OP. Do better.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 610 ✭✭✭Cutie 3.14

    See what you need to do there now is, bite a bit off each end and suck yer tea up through the bar, and then shove it in your mouth and gobble it all up!

    Mmmmmmm :)

    Although you probably have it eaten by now!

    Yeah, while delicious, they are a terribly frustrating bar to eat, also, I find the small ones you get in a 99 always taste somewhat stale...

    I like flakes but they're messy affairs.

    Prefer a plain cone. Always find the flakes in them are kind of stale.

    Look at that! Basically the exact same post by two different people at the same time!

    Have yourselves a Flake on me.

    As long as I amused some people trying :-)

    I bought a 4 pack flake today and I think they are nicer then twirls. It's not the taste it's just the way it breaks up and your fussing about trying to capture all the bits before it's breaks all over the place. It's an experience eating a Flake.
