Right.... Well that's some insight. Thank you . I heard a rumour that it was down to it being popular during a war where cocoa was in short supply but that makes sense too.

There is. That's fair, and some of it was decent and that's not to say that all American chocolate is bad because that would be stupid of course, as you say. And I'm sure there's top notch American chocolate. Of course there is.

But, the dominant chocolate, the one that foreigners associate with the US, was shite IMO. That's all.

And tbh I do like an oul' mackers. I wouldn't call McDonald's the Hershey's of burgers.

This is all subjective and I'm not being a cunt. I just was expecting sparkles in my mouth and I got.... Hershey's.

Try chocolate that wasn't made in America...

I'm actually very fond of the US but the chocolate is absolute filth, sorry lads. I was so excited to try Hershey's and holy moly was it an earth shattering disappointment.

My french friend told me that the dairy farmers once protested by dumping a massive amount of milk on the streets of Paris one time. Apparently the smell was..... Well you can imagine.

The French know how to protest.

I have both on my way home from work conveniently, but the Lidl is handier so I use that and not so much the Aldi, but I thought I might be missing some hidden gems. :)

We don't have either of those here unfortunately.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Oh they do yeah. Lots of varieties and very cheap too. The brown fusili with pesto is a favourite with the kids.

Have you other large discount supermarkets there? Other than Lidl that is.

They both absolutely dominate the discount section in Ireland but thankfully have driven down prices in the other large chains.

 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

 

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!

A-50 confirmed damaged. Suchomimus seems convinced that this was their last remaining fully operational one.

 
 

And how much of a passion project is it for you?
