IT'S CALLED HAPPY COWS FOR FUCK'S SAKE Even the chocolate bar itself resembles a cow, if a cow were a chocolate bar Resealable...
Cons:
...though I've opened it from the other, non-resealable side, because I'm a muppet It's a wee bit plain Odd aftertaste. Don't add white chocolate to regular chocolate Expensive as its la-dee-ha foreign stuff

I know this my equivalent of the baw-bootin' that IGN gave Castlevania on the 3DS, but I'm just not bowled over by this. It's fine, but if this is the best German chocolate has to offer, I'm not willing to pay for anything more.

Discalimer: This is not technically a snack (unless you have a reeeeeal problem) but...
Quarter Pounder with Cheese, bought from McDonald's in XScape, Milton Keynes
Pros: Quarter Pounder with cheese - you know what you're getting - in theory
Cons: I assume that an employee of McDonald's has been through training, to an extent that they are familiar with the ingredient list that completes a Quarter Pounder with Cheese. However, I can understand that, on occasion, a piece of the delicately-crafted puzzle is missing. Part of the greenery, for example. Or maybe one of the two layers of Magic Cheese that is crafted behind closed doors. However, it takes a special kind of person to forget the bottom half of the bun. Our family ordered 4 of these between us the other day; 3 were in fact missing this - some would say "key" - component. Finding, upon arriving home with your meal, that you need to obtain a fish slice in order to un-adhese the burger from the base of the polystyrene container (having been welded on by the lower cheese layer) is not a welcome bonus. The remainder of the faux-sandwich has to be eaten upside-down; the cheese layer is unsalvageable.

How fascinating: your experience with those particular Quarter Pounders with Cheese has altered your review score. Just out of interest - not nerdiness, no sirree - what would you have scored a correctly made one?

Wow, good question...
70% I think. Pros: Yummy; didn't have to cook it myself; convenient. Cons: I feel kinda weird afterwards, and I know it's ful of crap stuff that wouldn't be as poisonous if I went to Sainsbury's and purchases a brown bap, grilling steak, cheddar cheese and salad and put them together.

Digestives (Milk and Dark) with a Cuppa
Pros:
Contains chocolate.
I don't know why the melding of the tea and the biscuit works so well. It just does.
Keeps you awake and not hungry until dinner.
Jenners teabag used. Classy.
Capable of distracting boring topics over on CVG.
Cons:
In the Pantheon of biscuits, Digestives aren't all that. Even with tea, I'd rather have a bourbon.
Some crumbs dropped into the liquid, which is never good.
84% Good tea, decent biscuit that gets better in tea, but it's never going to scale the heights of Mt. Biscopolis.

I guess they... shouldn't have accepted cookies.

I would have also accepted "I guess that's just... how the cookie crumbles".

I hadn't been to Burger King in ages- I'm a big KFC fan and hit the D all the time. But there's a prevailing idea that it is the secondary fast food burger joint to Maccy D's, so I never really went. But I went to Yeovil the other day to give evidence at court at me and my boss went for lunch after and there was only a Burger King. It was actually great!
Pros Real nice, chunky fries. More like real chips. Thick, tasty beef. Lots of cheese.
Cons No greenery. No lettuce, no gherkin, no relish, no sauce. Just bread and cheese and beef. Its not mcdonalds. In most ways, it was ostensibly better than mcdonalds, but itjust doesn't get the ol' nostalgia glands firing in the same way.

I agree with this- McD's strikes me as- and I know I'm using this word catastrophically wrongly- 'classier' than BK. Their restaraunt decor is sort of restrained enough to be like IKEA-cool: not 'proper' cool, but enough like it to the layperson. Burger King looks like it's trying too hard to be a 50's US diner as described by someone who'd only ever seen one in a cartoon.

Aside from the "no sauce" part you just described a load of pros as cons.
I don't want a burger to overflow with lettuce, but you need a few bits and bobs in there otherwise it gets boring half way through. That's why I love the KFC bad boys with hash browns and all sorts in there.

I'm not even sure my McDonald's love is based on anything that logical. I'm just used to my day food tasting like that, and bk was different. Also, McDonald's has insane brand dominance, like coca cola.
