That's a good British half pint of port in there, I'd guess. A wedge of Stilton and some good salty crackers, a few black olives and she'll be farting like a champion. So much for "Hidden Winds".

The above almost ended my breathing privileges just now.

Never ... EVER ... eat NikNaks if you're about to read one of this guys posts, you have been warned! Happened to be swallowing one when I read that. Coughed it up and immediately sucked it back down my throat again due to the damn thing being so light and puffy, and damn nearly choked to death!

Not sure which is more dangerous, Sam's Brit-Humoured posts or the bloody NikNaks

He's also a decent human being.

Ghostship, it was meant as a compliment!

In the face of such humourless modern-day society, it makes me wonder if I'd have been better off if the NikNak had won

:Bows:

NikNak, Sam? - I need my fucking revenge!

The only NikNaks we have here are made by KP snacks. I guess they're a licensed brand, or something similar. They smell quite appetizing but taste of cardboard.

Thinking about it, cardboard is probably the healthier option, too.

Anyhow, you're welcome to try for revenge. I am positively agog.

Very kind of you to say so. Retrowave is a good lad, and I take no insult from his remarks.

Mind you, that could change in short order.

I'm a Brit myself, so none of that licensed rubbish for me, it's proper NikNaks, the genuine article mate!

And before you say it, no, I'm not sad enough to have taken such a picture, I just found it on duckduckgo.com under images

Anyway, it looks like you escaped recourse this time, but only because I've eaten them all up myself and have none left to bloody-well choke you with! And by the way, it was a RIB'N'SAUCY flavour one that done it, just in case you're curious!

Aye, them's the buggers. I'd rather eat cardboard.

After what happened today, so would I

You can make a man eat shredded cardboard, if you play the right tricks.

Not far from the truth. The processing that goes into - for example - cornflakes removes almost all nutritional value, which then has to be put back in. On the face of it, the packaging is better for you.

Adam Savage actually tested that on MythBusters using "Froot Loops". The cereal did "win" as being more nutritional, but the margin was not as great as one would hope.

You'll never guess what I'm eating ... that's right ... the NikNaks are back!

See how this mighty bag of NikNaks stands defiantly before the Poser forum that is immortalised in the background for eternity. It cares not of Sam's cardboard-themed insults towards NikNaks, and vows to seduce him next time he goes shopping!

No thanks. I'd rather eat my own earwax.

Too bad, Sam, they have ways of entering (and exiting) you regardless of how much you resist: SEE HERE

Yeah, that'd really make me want to buy some.

Fair enough, here's a final attempt at seduction by NikNak ...

Cadbury's Flake ads were notorious for their phallic symbolism, as noted by Half Man Half Biscuit in their song "Dickie Davies Eyes".

Funny thing is, after posting that image I later read the NikNak entry on Wikipedia: CLICK HERE

There is something about them once releasing an "Aphrodisiac" powered bag of NikNaks as a limited edition. Bloody hell, I wish I'd known about it if that woman's seductive behaviour is an example of what came of it!

Also interesting is the Rotherham connection. Did you know for example, that NikNaks have a Rotherham connection as does yourself? CLICK HERE and slowly scroll down the screen and you'll see an animated timeline of the maker pop-up as you scroll.

Just face it, Sam, you were destined to be a NikNak eater, not a NikNak hater

I'm a Sheffield lad, through and through, mate. I may live in - or rather, near - Rotherham, but my blood is 100% Steel City. So there.

And yes, I know of the connection. KP - the company who make 'em here - have a factory in Rotherham. Trivia time: KP used to be part of UB foods but now belong to a German company, Intersnack.

Ah well, I tried. I still think you should exchange a British Pound for a pack, and savour the RIB'N'SAUCY flavour though

I can think of better things to do with me money. It's not like I haven't ever tried a pack of NikNaks, so I'm aware of what they are like. :P

Yeah, but you might have copped for an out of date bag, or one that had an air leak. The problem with NikNaks is they go downhill pretty damn fast if the bag isn't air-tight. This can make them go soft, chewy even, and yes indeed, make them taste like cardboard.

But your typical, well cared for NikNak, is a different freak entirely

Erm, no. I can spot a popped bag a mile off and I don't do out of date stuff.

Give it up, mate. You're backing the wrong horse here.

Then I humbly accept defeat, you win ...

... at least, that is, until one day, when you're down the crisp isle and spot that giant orange bag with the word "NikNaks" on it out of the corner of your eye, you'll remember this discussion and pop a pack in your trolley anyway.

Never going to happen. :P

Yeah, that's what they all say

Crikey, anyone would think you have shares in the company, the way you go on about 'em.

Nope, don't do shares

Haha, oh, my aching sides. ;)

Tell you what, though, at time of posting, this is the only thread posted to today, so everyone must be out buying NikNaks

That moment when Picard discovers the NikNaks have sold out

Keep it up guys, as I haven't had such good laughs in a long time.

Eat a packet of those things; it'll wipe the smile right off yer face. For that matter, a Cadbury's Flake will also do the same. Since Mondelez took 'em over, they changed the quality of chocolate. Now, the only things that have decent - ish chocolate from their range are the ones that say "Dairy Milk" on 'em. All the others taste like, well something that ain't chocolate. Nearest I can think of is, years back I had a girlfriend in the US. When I went to see her she bought some American chocolate bars for me to try out. Wow, was that ever a nasty shock. One I can remember as being singularly vile was a Hershey bar.

I used to think out of all the major brands, Nestle was the worst chocolate. Now, I think Cadbury are giving 'em a run for their money.

Back to crisps and crispy type snacks, though, me own favourite are Seabrooks. They're the dog's bollocks. Well, I don't mean they're literally made from dog's bollocks - that'd be revolting - I mean, they're really rather good. And if you're wondering where the phrase comes from, I read that it's a sort of Spoonerism for "Box Deluxe", which was the top of the line in the Meccano range of toys, way, way back. But, you wouldn't want to eat Meccano. OTOH, Retrowave may, seeing as he's into weird stuff like NikNaks.

Many years (decades?) ago I used to like Cadbury chocolates, but it's been a very long time since I've had any. The only chocolate I eat now-a-days are in cookies, and most of them are Pepperidge Farm Cookies, with the Milano and Brussels being my 2 favorites. ~looks over at the empty Brussels package in the trash bin~

Not familiar with 'em. Don't much like the sound of the Brussels cookies; I hate sprouts.

I do agree that Seabrook make good crisps, and funnily enough, I absolutely hate McCoy, which are the equivalent made by the same maker as NikNaks. McCoy always taste like chips (fries) that have been left in the fat too long and have burnt. I bought a six-pack once containing three flavours, and swore never to buy them again. I stuck to that, but unfortunately had to eat another packet when one was given to me.

So tell me, Miss B, have you ever tried a RIB'N'SAUCY flavour NikNak yourself?

Looks like Sam is finally cracking, Captain, he's cracking ...

;)

Actually, each of the cookies are named after famous cities, so not the "sprouts" but the city Brussels, in Belgium.

Well, that's another illusion shattered.

Hmmm ... she didn't say a word about the NikNaks
