    Boost is dirt. Lads voting for Boost probably eat pineapple on pizza as well.

    Yes I do, and am proud of it!

    I voted for Twix and also love pineapple on my pizza, so there goes that theory. :p

    Boost, but I don't like pineapples or pizzas.

    Did you know: The old packaging contained tin foil which was handy for smoking heroin off.

    An underdog in the final.

    Not quite Man City v Watford, but a clear win for me here. Moro.

    Let justice be done...

    The Golden Crisp is a classic Dairy Milk, no question. Now it’s no fruit and nut or my old long gone Dairy Milk favorite: Top Deck.
    But still, it’s a good Dairy Milk and id never say no to it.
    It’s versatile: ya can have a few squares and save some for later. Also just as a great sharing bar with your other half! Easy to break up. I’d prefer if it still came in the foil and paper, but such is life.

    The Moro was never a bar for me. Sure I’d eat one, but it just doesn’t do anything for me.

    GC because it’s a solid Dairy Milk. It has its flaws but sure who doesn’t.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,181 ✭✭✭Lady Haywire


    Moro/Boost for me.
    You got the chewy, you got the crunchy, you got the sticky sweet crumbly filling.
    Ice cold glass of milk & a moro, fill you up for hours.

    If these are the nations two favourite bars then I don’t want to live in this country any more

    Moro takes the top spot for me. I’ve always found the layered structure to be deeply satisfying and gives it more dimensionality than the Golden Crisp. Nice chocolate, then caramel, and finally that biscuit/chocolate filling. If chilled, then it picks up an extra “snappiness”.

    Golden Crisp, while nice, is inferior to its cousin, the Mint Crisp, and is a fairly one-dimensional bar.

    And like other posters, I miss the paper and foil wrapping on the GC. It was recyclable, unlike the thin plastic wrapper in current use.

    Boost is Roland at the Dark Tower, listing off the name of his fallen brothers and sister.

    Bounty, Kit Kat, Mint Aero

    We made it guys, we got to our promised land.

    BOOST.

    Golden crisp is STILL full of annoying sticky stones.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,462 ✭✭✭Bob Harris


    Neither should be in the final as neither would get into my top 10.
    I'll go Golden Crisp. If this was 20 years ago I'd have probably said Boost.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Westernyelp


    Hobson's choice here. But I'm going to go with the Golden crisp. It's a classic and deserves some respect for that
    Plus I just bought a boost for research and I was wishing it was a Starbar.

    Golden crisp. Bring it home baby!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 390 ✭✭StillThinking


    Seeing as Double Decker didn't make it I'm going to have to throw my hat in with Boost, has a bit of everything, great dunked in a coffee too


  • Registered Users Posts: 18,585 ✭✭✭✭The Princess Bride


    Jeez, but this is the most difficult decision I've had to make since that day someone offered me tea made with leaves or a teabag.*

    But it has to be Boost.
    For nostalgic reasons, not to mention the fact that when I went to the shop, I forgot to get a Golden Crisp, cos I thought Double Decker was in the final too.





    *neither, I hate tea.

    Golden crisp. Perfect combo of chocolate and sweet crunch. Great all rounder. Good by itself or good with a coffee. Winner.

    Boosts are a young man's game.

    Has to be golden crisp.

    I like a boost but being able to eat a golden crisp watching a movie or breaking of the odd square while driving, you know that extending of niceness outs it above.

    Also it's if not my favourite it's sure as hell close to it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,283 ✭✭✭fixXxer


    Jesus Christ, is Golden Crisp wins this....


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,372 ✭✭✭Westernyelp


    BTW. I'm surprised the 'Catch' never got a mention. It's a bit left field but a solid choice. With a great theme tune

    Catch it if you can
    On the outside is chocolate
    And underneath the chocolate are crispeeees!

    Moro. Boost. Who cares. It’s a beautiful chewy chocolate masterpiece and it deserves to be the Ultimate Chocolate Bar.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,523 ✭✭✭✭yabadabado


    golden crisp for no other reason than to deny Boost the accolade


  • Registered Users Posts: 21,865 ✭✭✭✭Mam of 4


    Golden Crisp , tough choice , but it just nudges past the boost as it has more chocolate per bar that's all .


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    Moro is the best chocolate in the land. Golden crisp, wojeus choice as the countries number 1. Not a bad chocolate but we're staking our countries reputation here.

    Boost, because without it we'd never have had the greatest ever limited edition chocolate bar, the Coconut Moro.
