I'm irate!! irate!! Now that i've used it twice i'm not sure that's a word. Anyway, a very talented lollipop pointed out that kinder buenos are a replacement-ish version of secret bars, but what replaces a smiley bar???
A chomp is the same size but has no orangeness, so I suppose you could eat a chomp and drink orange juice or summit but that doesn't seem right.
More worrying is that I can't find a single picture of a smiley bar, not even in the official Cadbury's database. This is some government cover-up shit. And I won't stand for it.
Actually, Smiley bars were the cause of one of my most embarrassing childhood memories. Picture it; an 8 yr old Seamus, at a party, and had just been discussing a scar i had on my chin from stitches, then the mother came over and asked:
M. "Where did you get that smiley?"
(I thought she had given a cute name to my scar, so i started retelling the story about falling on some concrete blocks. Then she said)
m. "No, I said did you get your smiley?"
(And she laughed in my face.)
Mortifying. Needless to say she's no longer with us. (A faulty hair drier) But such is the power of smileys, that I still love them inspite of their associated childhood torment.
i honestly cant even concentrate on my work thinking about them. Why, WHHHYYYYY dear lord did the remove them, ESPECIALLY when the likes of Picnic & bountys are still aloud to grace our shelfs. Please, i insist on justice for the quiet, but missed Smiley. Lollipops
