Toblerone is one of my favourite chocolate bars that I've ever had, and when I saw this enormous version of it in M&S last December I knew I had to get it. It was a Christmas present for my mum who also really likes Toblerone chocolate bars. I even walked all the way home while carrying it all by myself and hid it away in a cupboard in my room because I didn't want anyone in my family noticing so that it would be a surprise. It certainly was one. Heres what one piece looks like: As you can see, we had trouble breaking it off without leaving a big spot missing. While it was a present for my mum, she said I could have some of it too. To eat it we had to split it up into bits with a knife. I did once actually try eating one as a whole though. The first bite went well but after that, biting it was just too hard. I had to eventually just accept that I wont be able to finish one of these without either splitting it up first or breaking my teeth. After that it tasted great, but I ...

I don't want to just talk about food on this blog. I also want to talk about other things like movies. My first movie review will be on Kevin Patrick Smith's directorial debut: Clerks. This movie has of course been a cult classic since its release back in 1994, but I only saw the movie for the first time about 2 weeks ago, so what did I think of it? The movie is about a convenience store employee(or "Clerk"), Dante Hicks (portrayed by Brian Christopher O'Halloran) and his friend Randal Graves (Jeffrey Allan Anderson) who works at the video store next door.  The movie is quite unusual in the sense that there isn't really that much thought being put in to setting up an engaging plot and is instead mostly about funny things happening during a day of Dante and Randal working. I'm guessing the movie is meant to be relatable to people who have had similar jobs to Dante and Randal in real life, but even as a 21 year old who's still never really had a proper j...

Today's Review will be on milk chocolate teacakes, specifically the ones sold by Thomas Tunnock Limited. They also sell a dark chocolate version but I never had them because I don't like dark chocolate. For those unfamiliar with chocolate teacakes, this is what they look like: This may initially seem like nothing more than strangely shaped chocolate but looks can be deceiving. This is how it looks like when cut in half: As you can see, it's only chocolate on the outside. On the inside, there's a biscuit on the bottom, and this giant marshmallow(well it tastes like a marshmallow but it's much less solid than an actual one) on the top. What an ingenious idea. Here's how the whole marshmallow looks like without the chocolate covering it: Pairing the soft marshmallow with the crunchy biscuit makes for an overall very tasty treat. I find it hard to imagine that anybody wouldn't love eating this unless they're one of those people that hate chocolate, marshmall...

  Yesterday evening I decided to check on my YouTube channel the day after I uploaded the above video about the "Crosta and Mollica" breadsticks and to my surprise the video had gone viral ...if you count getting 5 views in 1 day as going viral at least. When you take into consideration that none of my other videos could get any more than 2 views across a single day, it seems like my work is finally starting to get the recognition it deserves. Looks like actually writing a script for the video before I film it really did make a difference. One thing worth noting is that the 5 views was from only 10 impressions. All my other videos (besides the 1 subscriber special) have over 20 impressions but none have any more than 6 views. Whats strange is that all 5 views the video got so far were all within 1 hour on Monday and hasn't gotten a single view since. Regardless, the video has also got me 2 new subscribers overnight and my first 2 likes(but still no dislikes). Here's t...

  Sorry I haven't done a review in a while. Then again, no one reads my blog anyway(besides myself). So today, I will be looking at these breadsticks from "Crosta & Mollica". According to the boxes, they are all made in Italy, where breadsticks were originaly invented. I've got four types here:     Classic Grissini     Classic Torinesi     Black Olive Grissini     Black Olive Torinesi My parents are buying these all the time from Sainsbury's and/or Waitrose and I really like them. However it is a real pain trying to open the boxes that they come in.  There is this bit you have to rip off and it very often just won't come off in one go. Even when you do rip all of it off you will likely end up ripping off MORE then you're supposed to. But once you do get the box open, here is what the Classic Grissini breadstick looks like. And here it is compared to the Black Olive version. The "Torinesi"  breadsticks are much thinner and for s...

So it turns out that the YouTube channel I created shortly after my blog already got its first subscriber the day after my first video was uploaded. And I didn't even realise it until a few days ago when I looked at my analytics for the first time. Here's my video celebrating the milestone: My blog on the other hand, as far as I know, can't be subscribed to. Currently my blog only has 2 views. 1 from my Tornadoes post and 1 from my Halloween Squares post. My other 2 posts (the one about Oreos and the one about the Caterpillar sweets) still haven't been viewed by any one. Even the 2 views I do have might just be me viewing them after they were published.
