― Ed, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

murray mints and Green&Blacks maya gold chocolate. yeah baby YEAH!!

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cola bottle chews (not the fizzy ones or the cheapo jelly baby style ones - the stretchy ones)

― Nick, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Peanut butter sweets = false sweets.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

but rick, peanut butter can be sweet OR savoury!

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Doorayaki (red bean cakes)

― helen fordsdale, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Either way Katie, it's still yuck!!

― Sarah, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Fruit Salads and Sherbert Flying Saucers please.

― Andrew L, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

bah, unbelievers!

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Peanut Butter IS NOT SWEET!

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

rick, for someone who can discern the sweetness of such traditionally- savoury things as carrots and beer, i am surprised that you do not discern the sweetness of the humble peanut. they are so sweet.

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

RickyT is the Queen's head here.

SHRIMPS.

― Tom, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Haribo Tangfastics Sour Mix please.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If peanut butter is sweet, then so is pure sodium chloride.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

well then why does it go well with jam as well as marmite? see, the ultimate versatile foodstuff!

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

IT DOES NOT GO WELL WITH JAM YOU FOOL!

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it does it does it does and i'm going home now and when i get there i'm gonna taunt you with a HUGE peanut butter and jam buttie. though what gets me is that you completely overlooked my insistence that it goes well with marmite! fnheh.

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Urrghhh, bluergrghhhh, cofff, hack.... peanut butter and marmite WHAT a combination, grooooo, blaaaarrgrh, vomfest, retch ect ect ect. Peanut butter tastes of blended sick and as for the CHUNKY variety, well, they couldn't even be arsed with the old Magi-Mix!! Grooo, that's RUFF it is, RUFF.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ps. rick we are turning in to di and menelaus and hence must shut up. i'll speak to you about this later!

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

alas, i fear i have provided Sarah with one more reason to believe that all vegans are (pea)nutters...

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, um, yes. Not good that. Still, YOU ARE WRONG.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Peanut Butter does go well with Marmite though!

― Tom, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hurrah! i love Tom!

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

IT DOES NOT. Blended vom + some sticky TAR. On BRED. Je ne think so, matey. 'Orrible! And as for peanut butter and jam sandwiches, it's a case of overloading the bread - heinous! Bread should be soggy from LARD (sosage sammiche), not SPREAD.

Katie, the lentils are still in my cupboard. I might dare someone to cook me something with them. After my lentil soup KAOSS I can't even bear to open them. I almost went for a veggie option AGAIN in Burger King but shouted at myself to BE SENSIBLE and went for the meat. Aaah, sweet flesh...

― Sarah, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Marmite is an abomination and must be shunned. That is all I have to say on the matter.

― RickyT, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

shop's right out of peanut butter and peanut butter related snacks, sorry. i got everything else though...

Tangfastics? ah, there you are

Flying saucers? yes... here you go

...

Right, cash please.

― Alan Trewartha, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I liked that thread, me!

― Sarah, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Katie the reason it goes well with Marmite is that it is not sweet.

― Tom, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

have none of you heard of sweet and sour sauce? things can be both you know!

― katie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes indeed but peanut butter is not one of them.

― Tom, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks for the sweets Alan.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Blended vom + some sticky TAR. On BRED.

Now *that's* tasty.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

the salty chocolate interface of peanut butter m&ms and peanut butter snickers is gorgeous. (reeses cups and pieces can got to hell cos the chocolate is vile)

I'll second a red bean cake (from the bun shop on gerrard street please)

― Ed, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I agree with Ed, it's a food thing.

Oi! Doorayaki girl. You R Nathalie and I claim my £5. Some of us miss you, chou fleur.

― suzy, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sweet cigarettes, Kola Kubes, Sherbert Dib-Dab, Kaline, Fried Eggs, Moon/Space Dust, Violets.

Peanut butter is delightful, but should ideally not be mixed with other substances. Except bread, of course.

― DavidM, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'd like some Payne's Jelly Babies please.

― james, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Does the sweetshop sell cigs?

― Ally, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Haribo Tangfastics Sour Mix? Bah!

Haribo Dinosaurs are the best because they're sour and fizzy and (this is the best bit) they're DINOSAURS!

― jamesmichaelward, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Haribo ought then to address the balance and make ROBOT sweets.

― james, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But you get the dinosaurs in sour mix anyway. The cherries are the best.

― Jonnie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, you get SOME dinosaurs in the sour mix, but not enough to make you sick. The cherries are OK, but cherries are wussy compared to dinosaurs. Plus in the sour mix, you get those cola bottles which used to be really ace but don't seem as good as they used to be.

I once found a big piece of wood in a packet of Sour Mix, I reckon I could have got loads of free Haribo if I'd complained but I'm a stupid fool and I lost the bit of wood.

― jamesmichaelward, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I R wanting those funny chocoloate pretzel things which R still having salt on.

Sweet, yet savoury!
peanut butter is wet for weeds!

― I R hungry, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Haribo are sinister "Just one taste and before you know - EVERYONE'S into Haribo" Everyone??? What do they meeeeaan?
They (used to) sell sweets in the shape of cigarettes in a ciggy shape box at sweet shops. Sadly it seems to have fallen out of favour.

― DavidM, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Bah! Political correctness gone mad! When I was a nipper, in the shop near my school, they sold bags of those little foam mushrooms under the name Magic Mushrooms. Bet they don't even sell them anymore.

― jamesmichaelward, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

We still have the cigarette sweets, they are called Spaceman Candy Sticks.

― rainy, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

when I was a kid, the corner store down the road from us (Ranzau Road East, Hope, Nelson, New Zealand) sold these YUMMYYUMMYYUMMY little brown rectangle lollies with "LSD" imprinted on them...they were only around for a wee while and I have never met anyone else who remembers them.

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I dont remember them. do you remember get fresh chewing gum? GI Joe iceblocks? did you like K Bars? and do other countries sell that delight the nerdalicious bar? it has grape flavoured stuff on the outside, sherbert and nerds lollies in the middle. I am addicted at the moment.

Is it just me or has the quality of the lollies in 50c mixtures gone down? and was anyone else as annoying as me an order $2 worth of 1/2 cent lollies?

― Menelaus Darcy, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah Nerdalicious is "dope"

― duane, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what are these "nerds lollies" of which you speak menelaus?

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

they're those things that pop in yr mouth``

― duane, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(``` - what does this punctuation mark mean? i just did 2 of em by mistake at the end of the last post)

― duane, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah you know Nerds, they pop in yr mouth like Space Dust

― , Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

mmmmm.....Space Dust. I saw them on telly the other night with a Nick Cave impersonator

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Tuesday, 30 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nick cave really doesn't need impersonators, he is bad enough by himself. So, who out there has seen Snakeskin? I want to see Duane's drumming face. Or is it possible to have a real live demonstration?

― Menelaus Darcy, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

it was spacedust not space dust. only rock hardman impersonating nick cave could be worse than nick cave. oh yeah i saw snakeskin. duane and violet and the brother are in it! and the renderers are in the soundtrack! ok thats all the worthy things i can think of about it.

― hamish, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no our band is called space dust. 2 words.

― duane, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But tell us about the drumming face Hamish!

― Menelaus Darcy, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no our band is called space dust. 2 words.

yeah i know that. you were listed on tv as spacedust.

― hamish, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But tell us about the drumming face Hamish!

its just the same as in real life except the drums make sounds at different occasions to the sticks hitting them.

― hamish, Wednesday, 31 October 2001 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

eighteen years pass...

oh right people in 2001 talking about combo of marmite and peanut butter.
Now the combo's commercially available and quite tasty.
Somehow not come across combo before listening to podcasts last week.
So now eaten most of my first jar.
Is it a tempting habit?
wondering if it does mean having to go to Tesco's every time you need to get a supply though.

― Stevolende, Wednesday, 5 August 2020 16:41 (five years ago)

Gonna need you to make another trip, Alan

― XVI Pedicabo eam (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 16:49 (five years ago)

I want to seriously SERIOUSLY recommend Nuts.com (I know, I know) to any US ILXOR as it has helped me get through the past few months. Especially if you're a fan of the Trader Joe's nuevo sweet and salty and spicy cuisine.
https://nuts.com/

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 18:00 (five years ago)

Nuts.com ships so fast that I am convinced they are distributing from inside a 3-block radius of my house.

― mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 18:03 (five years ago)

Right? What are your recommendations Q?

I wanna rep for:

Salt - Indian Summer Rice Mix, Parmesan Garlic Half Popped Popcorn, Guacamole Bites.
Sweet - Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeyes, Bear Crunch Popcorn, Sour Triple Layer Gummy Bears, Smores Snack Mix, Ginger Snaps, Monkey Munch (a little goes a long way), Miami Vice Smoothie Snack Blend, Diced Cinnamon Apples
Spicy - Jalapeno Parmesan Crisps, Southern Heat Mix;, Spicy Lime Plantain Chips

Also: Mix of the Man, Parmesan Cheese Stickss and the Lemon Bites are very necessary. Almondolas are great if you can cope with getting powdered sugar on everything. Sweet and Spicy Chipotle Pistachios are a great add for salads.

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 5 August 2020 18:24 (five years ago)

ugh I don't need to gain more weight but I can't loo kaway from this thread
