Now let me get this straight. The British tax payer bailed out RBS, and RBS loaned money to Kraft to buy out Cadbury's? :think:

Are you somehow assuming that either RBS or the British government cares as much about British jobs as it does about lining its own pockets? :think:

On a personal note- my sister went to school with one of the Cadbury girls- she was, as I remember, very attractive and she's probably done quite well out of this shameful deal! :nono:

But then American mass-market snack food is downright bad in general. They can't do crisps either. In addition to 900 varieties of Walkers, we Brits produce Frazzles and Chipsticks and Monster Munch and all manner of wacky corn shapes, in flavours ranging from pickled onion to polar bear.
Polar Bear? I haven't tried those! I had the Cajun Squirrell flavour though :pop: .

­Virtually all American crisps – or "chips", as they doggedly insist on calling them –
Crisps! :lay:


are prosaic constructions tasting vaguely of watered-down bright orange cheese. We do bright orange cheese too, in the form of Wotsits, but we only did it once because we nailed it first time. They've got Cheetos in every shade of orange you could wish for (Spicy Orange! Smokey Orange!), but they're all a bit weak; no match for the confident chemical oomph of a Wotsit.

I can't help it. :cry:
