BalloonFish posted:Same - that stuff was so good. That and Ricicles. I still get both sad and mad about those two going away on a far too regular basis. Also Chocolate Cornflakes. They were a short-lived thing in the late nineties, came in a yellow box and had a heavy coating of the same chocolate dust they used for Coco Pops. They were intensely good and I mourn them to this day.

Mega Comrade posted:These questionars always seem weirdly vague to me. What is "some spaces and services", does a smear test service count? What about a prostate exam? Oh it's absolutely part of the strategy. It's a poll specifically commissioned by starmer fans, for one, and vague wording to make it sound like your position is obvious is standard "gender critical" stuff. "do you believe sex is real", "a woman is an adult human female" etc. Even the gender recognition reform bit is a bit questionable, it lumps in any reform at all with the diagnosis part so you combine "i think this is good because it goes in the right direction of making it easier" with what they're trying to imply the survey shows ("i think this is good because it keeps a diagnosis as part of it") e: also Start was great. i don't know if it actually was the sporty health food they pretended it was but it was nice anyways

I am currently collecting tokens from my goats milk because I want a plush goat. I need 15 bloody tokens tho which will take me about 30 weeks! Almost like it's designed to make me buy more milk and not about the happy fluffy goats. Sheesh.

You youngsters don't realize how privileged you were growing up. We had cornflakes in the summer and porridge (with Golden Syrup) in the winter and that was your lot. The only time we were allowed anything posh with toys in it was if we were staying with grandparents.

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:I still get both sad and mad about those two going away on a far too regular basis. I had completely forgotten about these but now I am also sad and mad! There was a similar Kellogg's product that I always associate with holidays in France that was more like chocolate flavoured 'shells' - very inferior to the Flakes which were like one of those chocolate corn flake cakes broken up and put in a bowl. Yum. I think the Choco Flakes were around at the same time that Coco Pops was briefly renamed Choco Krispies? Presumably some marketing exec at Kellogg's pitched some Brand Synergy Plan that didn't work.

"I'd rather have a bowl of choco krispies" was such an obviously forced slogan that didn't even scan right that this must have been deliberately set up to fail. On the topic of "set up to fail for marketing reasons" I've always believed that the good lads of One True Voice were also deliberately set up to fail so that rival Popstars winners Girls Aloud would look better in comparision. Those boys were led to the slaughter. I tearfully sing Sacred Trust in Me on Rememberence Sunday to show my respects.

I was put on propranolol a few months ago and I do get scared I won’t be able to get it one day. I don’t mind being on a drug for potentially the rest of my life because it’s so effective, and when I forget to take it and realise how bad I feel without it. Actually I’m being put on a different beta blocker soon and genuinely anxious it won’t be “as good”.

They have them here now but they're called Coco Pops Chocos, because for some ungodly reason every single chocolate themed cereal that Kelloggs make is Coco Pops here. Just give us different mascots Kelloggs you weird cowards.

I've seen coco puff flakes and coco puff balls in the shops lately, so they're diversifying that brand. I do miss ricicles though. And honey nut loops. Honey loops just aren't as good.

Kellogs currently do something called 'Zimmy's choco dragon egg shells' which im pretty sure is a rebranded version of some too chocolatey cereal from my childhood that i cant recall the name of. They also do a full egg version but they're just big nesquik. Does anyone actually like nesquik btw as a kid i found them very bland and the only fun thing about them was how much they look like rabbit poo poo.

It used to be that my NHS dentist would do the checkup and then routinley do a quick scale & polish at the end and it would all be included as a band 1 treatment. This didn't happen last year. The dentist tried to upsell me to the hygienist for a band 2 cleaning instead. I was annoyed and it seemed like having got new ownership the service that used to be provided wasn't. Went back again this year on Tuesday and got the same response. I explained that I was frustrated by the situation and the dentist basically just shrugged and said that's how it is and that he recommended the band 2 cleaning. This wasn't because there's any critical issue now, but because it would 'reset my teeth to where I could get them fully cleaned using my toothbrush as there's now some parts (plaque buildup?) I can't do manually'. I sulked and left without booking this. Given I can afford the extra £45 for a band 2 appointment, am I just as well ignoring my annoyance and paying that for the long-term good of my teeth and to reduce chance of dental pain moving forward? I'm currently 40 and have only had a couple of fillings and no real dental pain.

Yep, the "I'm okay being a bit cold so expensive heating isn't a problem in this country" mentality, aka an extension of "This problem doesn't affect me personally so it doesn't exist" brain that horrible people have is really prevalent here.
