I blame Brexit, Suella Braverman, Phillip Schofield and Roger Waters, in no particular order!

Time to "Take Back Control" of flakes.

Flakes are no longer manufactured at Bournville and are now made in Dublin, Ireland, and Egypt

I feel a new Suez crisis brewing.

Flakes have been made in Dublin for many, many years.

I blame climate change.

Revenge of the hundreds and thousands and my favourite monkey blood on a cornet.

Chocolate made for hot climates has a different composition. Unfortunately its not as tasty

Surely the Twirl is the answer? Same thing but with its own chocolate wrapper.

Wouldn't mind trying the German alternative "milk chocolate flaked sticks".

Mind you, I'm trying to remember the last time I had a 99. They do seem to mainly come with the sort of "ice cream" I can't stand.

 

[Sue Pertwee-Tyr]

I quite like a Mr Whippy 99 as an occasional treat, but agree, not proper ice cream. Raspberry sauce also desirable in that context.

Flakes don't melt anyway. They never have, high sugar content.

I used to dunk a flake in coffee...

An old colleague said she gagged at the thought of mr.whippy, jokingly describing it as made from horse plasma. There’s also a very distasteful visual gag about mr.whippy..

I know the visual gag. Still appeals to my inner 12 year old.
