The slightest touch from a Gol-Shogeg will result in Instant Death!

Most of those don't seem particularly dumb though (other than the sock bottle holder one, that;s clearly loving ridiculous).

Good stuff. Why hold on to your water bottle when you can wrap it in a sock and still end up having to hold the bottle.

Lifehack: Live in the southeastern United States and want some of that awesome overseas chocolate? Go to your local Publix and look in the import/ethnic aisle. They have legit Cadbury chocolate, Vegemite, and all sorts of other awesome poo poo. It's worth a look if you're even remotely interested in chocolate that doesn't taste like straight poo poo.

I have lived in the northeast my whole life and every Stop & Shop I've ever been to has had an "international" aisle that has a bunch of imported stuff from the UK and Ireland. The rest of the international section depends on the area the store is in, but I can easily buy British chocolate.

Mostly what I find in the international aisle is weird Ukrainian chocolate. I had this one that was a chocolate-covered banana-flavored sugar foam that turned to slime in your mouth.

It was still better than Hershey's.

People saying "just go to the international section!" are still not realizing that Cadbury can't be commercially imported anymore. Those shelves aren't getting restocked with foreign and strange Cadbury products.

Hershey put their foot down on imports of any Cadbury products. The article talked about one import company, but really, no one else can do it either.

Not everyone lives near a high end organic supermarket. It'd cost me more money in gas to go to either of those stores than to just walk down the street and buy Hershey's.

I'm strong. And a giant penguin. Please don't eat me. No, really. Don't try.
I had a friend in the UK send me some chocolates as a birthday present once, and customs opened them and sent me a box containing just the empty wrappers and my birthday card. It wasn't like kinder eggs or something either, it was just plain chocolates - aero and yorkie bars. I think the customs guy just wanted a snack tbh.

The real controversy with court trials and everything was on if Jaffa cakes are cakes or biscuits for tax purposes. Biscuit as in the UK sense.

Jaffa cakes are delicious! Sponge cake with orange jelly and dark chocolate.

The ruling of the trial lead to the following classifications in the UK:

If it is hard when it is made and gets soft when it goes stale, it is a biscuit.

If it is soft when it is made and gets hard when it goes stale, it is a cake.

Jaffa Cakes were ruled to be cakes, and thus exempt from the additional tax incurred from adding chocolate to biscuits.

This. I got no dog in this chocolate fight (I dislike all milk chocolate), but a cursory search for "cadbury chocolate" on Amazon brought up over 12,000 results, the first page all having free shipping. It's not that hard to get? :shrug:

And you have your choice of buying the stuff Hershey's manufactures and sells under the name Cadbury, or waiting 18 - 26 business days for shipping from England. I for one love ordering chocolate bars a month in advance and hoping they remain undamaged during shipping, a risk specifically called out on the product page.
