For Christmas I was given a chocolate bar with 1500 calories.

I kid you not!

That's like a bacon cheese burger with alvacado wrapped up in a chocolate bar. Ewwww...

Same here. :biggrin: I guess you're just supposed to eat a little bit at a time.
 
Give me the brand name please, I could use that as weight gainer for lifting. I want to buy a few, do they have other flavors?
 
hmm. 20,920 m^2/s^2 = 2.32E-13 c^2 (energy per unit mass)

That's a Yorkie. I don't know if they do them in the US. They might do one with nuts in too.

funniest line I've heard in the last 6 months, not counting the caption thread.

:bugeye: It's a 300 g candy bar! :eek:
:smile: The slogan on it is hysterical..."it's not a pint, but it's better than socks." :smile: I think I'd stick it in someone's Christmas stocking just for that slogan. :smile:
Yep, start sharing. :biggrin: :approve:
Uh oh Moonie, you should see their new ad campaign...:bugeye:

That Yorkie campaign is not so new. It has been around for a while. I saw this quite a bit when going after that damned Twix clue in Pron.

GB has some great advertising slogans. They seem to be able to get away with more tongue-in-cheek type stuff.

I quite understand the thrill about getting to chew on a fat, juicy bar like that. Enjoy!

Morals: Kids are fat because they're stingy!

Who on the Earth has told you should eat it alone?

Oh, no, they're quite right, it's not for girls...or boys...that's far too serious of a candy bar for mere children. It's definitely something only a grown woman could handle. :biggrin:

No sweat. Once I watched Dr. Phil right after I just bought 5 of those energy bars. You know the ones that are 300 calories each. The topic was about anorexia. This girl had anorexia and while I was downing those bars, all five of them, it occurred to me from what she was saying, that I had just ate in 20 minutes what she would have eaten in a month. How about those big hershey bars? Gotta' be a 1000 or so. I've chuncked a few of those too.:!)

Edit: Alright, don't want to sound like a pig. I'm a big believer in calories in balanced by effort out (I had just finished exercising before those bars). Simple equation really.
