    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:

    The girls you know are wusses so:P
    Who the hell can't eat an Emerald Toffee???

    *Not quite sure if you can have a wussy girl,but if you can,she was one....

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

    I lived on Time Bars at one stage, they are a piece of p1ss!! :cool:

    Now Jaw Breakers - they were a different story. Also I remember rolling up a Wham Bar so I could eat it in one go (I regularly set myself such challenges). I failed miserably. Nearly joked on a mixture of green flaky fizzy bits (on the bar) and my own saliva. I tried a few more chomps before finally giving in, and then spat out the remnants only to see one of my teeth attached. As a girl, I should have know my limits

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

    Impossible.

    You need a steak knife to get a triangle off.

    The thin one yes, but the eight-square one is ok surely?

    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?
    Real Turkish Delight, sure. Not the ****e that Cadburys serves up.

    I think the only sweets that fellas shouldn't eat are the candy bracelets. The candy watches are ok but make sure you eat the watch face last or it will look like you're eating a bracelet.

    Most girls i know tend to go for chocolate that comes in squares. Something to do with watching weight and once you open the bar your tempted to eat it all. But with the squares you can just break off a few. Don't know if that's how most women view chocolate.

    The whole galaxy range is such a girls product (I mean would a guy buy Galaxy bubbles, Minstrels and Ripples like??) Throw in flakes and buttons as well.

    I would deffo see Lion bars as a guy thing (that's not to say they're not nyom) and to a lesser extent Mars bars. twirl is for the guys who might like a flake but it would be a bit girly. On this note there are also definite 'Dad' chocolate bars, like Toblerone and Turkish delight.

    Then there are also straight down the middle bars which are gender neutral like Twix bars, Kitkats and Wispas.

    That's just silly, galaxy is lovely, bought some the other day. How on earth are minstrels supposed to be girly?

    (I just like chocolate...)

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Emerald toffees are Granny sweets! But I love em! They are a lot softer these days though!

    That's because the ads are aimed at girls!

    It's not that Yorkie is not for females. It's not for girls. Men can be girls too.

    So does that mean women can eat them but girls can't?
    Or tomboys can eat them because women can be boy-ish??:confused:
    What about lady-boys??:confused::pac:
