    I'm with Nestle on this, Yorkie's are for Men :cool:

    Have you ever seen a woman eating a Yorkie?

    Or a man eating a pack of Love Hearts or those sweet necklaces / bracelets?

    Love hearts are feckin tasty, dunno what you're on about. As long as you don't sit fawning over them, and instead just fire them into the old gullet, you're still a man.

    Nestle chocolate is shíte too.

    *save it for R&R*

    sometimes, sometimes not, e.g.the Lion Bar is fairly gender neutral, but you'd think it should be a boys bar.

    Would a man eat a Turkish Delight?

    I remain to be convinced that a woman could have tackled a Time Bar back in the day.

    haha! He was clearly flirting with you :D

    Oh I love yorkies. Specially the biscuit and raisin ones.

    Women don't eat those necklace thingies by the way, they're for kiddlywinks.

    It's ok when you're a kid to eat whatever you want.

    But a man in his late 20's and on may only eat Yorkie, Snickers, Mars, Lion.

    To buy a dairy milk is to suggest you have a vagina.

    Don't suck to hard, I near choked to death in the Screen cinema a few years back when the lolly bit came away from the stick :eek:

    Sucked it right down I did.

    Had to punch myself in the chest about ten times in order to try some sort of reverse Heimlich maneuver.

    Worked too, saved my own life :cool:

    Them necklace things were great craic! Bite one in half and hold it with your teeth, pull the necklace away from you and release the bit in your teeth, savage projectile.

    And there's nout wrong with a bita dairy milk either! Jaysus wile folk here altogether.

    If it tastes good, eat it. That's my motto.

    Yorkie KingSize is a mans chocolate bar. You need to psych yourself up before you attack one of those badboys.

    Quite right.

    I once gave a girl an Emerald toffee (well known and popular Men's only confectionery) and within two minutes she was crying with face pain :rolleyes:

    Yellow wrapper with clocks on it. Made by Caffreys(?). Cost 10p. Think pocket-sized slab of granite with a chocolate coating.

    There's an art to it, gotta get a toothhold in the downward gradient with enough pressure to snap it off at the joining
