Nestle discontinued it due to low sales. Bit of a weird explanation because it was hard to find them even before that. Self-generated low sales?

Peanut butter definitely isn't as popular as in the US. If you've got a Costco membership (or know someone with one), see if they've got their peanut butter filled pretzels in stock. They're phenomenal!

The chocolate is arse, yes. Reeses stuff is available in the Sainsbury's across the road, but I live in London so I might just be some southern bullshit. Only like, peanut butter cups, and something called a Nutrageous, which is basically a Topic bar that sat in the glove compartment of a Transit van for a year.

Nah, the nutrageous is good. Try it.

I got given a Whittards advent calendar last year, so got to try some of their other teas I wouldn’t have looked at before. Their mango and bergamot tea was my surprise favourite, and is worth your time.

It’s wild that if I bring my reusable mug, an americano is cheaper at Starbucks than Costa. But I do get 2 beans at Costa on their loyalty app, which requires far fewer visits to get a freebie .

A grilled cheese fries better in the pan with mayo on the outside of the bread. The oil in mayonnaise makes it crisp nicer than butter does.

Have you tried KFC chips lately? They suddenly got good?? Admittedly you have to eat them the moment you get them in the place so they’re still hot and fresh and crisp. Otherwise they’ll get cold on the drive home and are then terrible. The seasoning on them now is really nice.

I haven’t been in a spoons for about six years. There is a magazine on every table about how the press were mean about Tim Martin during covid and how he made them all publish apologies.

‘Needless to say I had the last laugh’

My local spoons had little signs up around the bar area saying the same thing. It’s such a weirdo move. The staff don’t like it, and it gives the place such a bizarrely political air. Just run a pub chain and enjoy your success.

Working my way through Fallout at the moment and enjoying it immensely. My one note would be that I wish it was weekly releases rather than all in one go like Amazon do with a lot of their other shows. Hopping round avoiding spoilers from people who binged it all is no fun.

3 Body Problem is next on the list to watch. Tried reading it, and bounced off it hard, the book is hard going and not engaging at all.

Failed to pick up a hire car this morning because I didn’t bring two utility bills with my address on. I don’t have any utilities in my name. My driving licence and my bank statements didn’t count as proof of address. :cripes: Avis/Budget are aggressively weird about renting out their cars.

Wandered over to Alamo and picked up a car instantly just showing my licence and a credit card. I don’t understand.
