mjmooney Posted June 30, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) I eat a KitKat in six bites: Break off TWO (not one) fingers. Bite off end, bite off centre section, eat final third. Repeat for second pair of joined fingers. Individual fingers would be too thin. Edited June 30, 2015 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you animals exist so don't be shy. far too complicated , same with the Kit Kat systems that people appear to follow my system is unwrap choc bar open mouth bite chew ( this is optional) swallow repeat until choc has gone I did try the fruit pastille in the mouth without chewing once but after .0005 of a sec I got bored of that so chomped my way through a whole packet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repeat for second pair of joined fingers. Individual fingers would be too thin. It sounds formalised enough to count as a ritual, which is all that is required. As a matter of interest, do you use the prescribed method of running a thumbnail along the foil of the central channel before breaking them into pairs?

I do that for half, because I like to eat some of it as a whole twix and some as biscuit and caramel separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 30, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2015 You have to rub the foil first as well to make sure the kit kat logo appears on the foil. Like magic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Does anybody remember the polo's with green writing which acted as an instant win? Well my Dad opened a pack and rubbed a polo against the side of wrapper on the green bit, Voila! Green writing on the polo. He then put it back in the packet and gave it to me. Bastard.

BOF Posted June 30, 2015 Moderator Share Posted June 30, 2015 I miss lemon polos. No I don't mean fruit polos. These were chalky sweets like the regular mint, but they were a yellowy white and had a subtle lemon flavour to them. Delicious. I'm struggling to even find a picture of them online. Maybe they were uniquely Irish? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Fascinating polo fact. Mrs E's horses will chomp through packets of the original variety, but flat out refuse the sugar free ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they were uniquely Irish? I remember them, although having spent a lot of my childhood in Ireland on holiday the possibility of them being uniquely Irish is still a strong one. However, you can get lemon flavoured chewing gum (The "Extra" brand I think) and they taste exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Well you definitely couldn't get them over here because I would've probably had about 10 packs a day. I'm a sucker for lemon. I also suck lemons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 on a mint theme did anyone else's school have the "story" that if you ate 5 packets of Trebor mints in one go , that you would become sterile ? I actually think school kids invented the interweb all these urban myths that spread around the country ( see Mark Almond) have to have been distributed somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 30, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Yep, but it was actually Spearmint Polos in my school's version. Edited June 30, 2015 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 We had the "eat so many mints you'll shit your pants", but not go sterile. I wonder if anyone has ever poo'd through a polo mint loop? That's weird isn't it? That I thought of that.. maybe it because I need to poop. brb, pooping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 If you eat too many mints they actually do act as a laxative, some say it on the packet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I think a lot of mints do contain some kind of laxative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I've not been this outraged since I saw a guy eating an orange the same way you'd eat an apple! How do you eat an apple? I find people who just bite into it savages. It needs to be sliced into 4 slices and the core taken out before i will even look at it. Ideally, in small pieces in a bowl with a fork.

That I thought of that.. maybe it because I need to poop. brb, pooping. When I was at school there was a lad called Adam who was a pretty nasty piece of work (for a 12 year old anyway) who would mercilessly bully the other kids in a classic Gripper Stebson manner, extorting money, chinese burns, little punches whilst the teacher wasn’t looking. Basically a proper little word removed. Anyhoo, a few of the lads had had enough after a bit and decided on a bit of payback. So, instead of a ‘Scum’ like spot of revenge involving mashing his head into a sink they decided to use a packet of Polos as their preferable method. They bought a packet from the tuck shop, carefully opened one end, took turns to piss down the middle of the packet and then closed up the end again. They left it on a radiator to dry for a bit and then created a plan involving betting him he couldn’t eat a whole packet in five minutes. By the time he came to eat them in the middle of the playground, the word had got around quite a bit and there was a pretty decent sized crowd. Glorious. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
