Today was the day everyone went a bit mental wasn’t it.

I can't get past the refrigerated drawers. New life aspirations right there.

Don’t you? Maybe we could have a whip round. Ours is great, except when the teenager hides in it and frightens the dog!

Nope we don’t. My great aunt had one, but she was born in 1925. What’s your excuse?

These are what we have. They were fitted before we bought the house. We’ve been here 13 years and they’re still going strong.

Yep. Dark choc ones in the fridge

Yer a wrong 'un.

I don't get why anyone would like warm chocolate. Especially dark choc. I stick Twirls in the freezer for added snap

Chocolate tastes better as it warms up. Cocoa butter melts at around body temperature and that’s where the flavour is.

You could fit a lot of biscuits in there.

Do you have a full size fridge and/or freezer as well?

We have a “normal” fridge-freezer.

Can't say I've ever put a biscuit in the fridge.

All of that. Chocolate in the fridge all day. Biscuits not.

Which it will still do in your mouth even if it's been in the fridge I find you get less of the sugar taste first as wella nd more of the cocoa. Twirls are especially good when cold as they shatter into lots of pieces in your mouth and then melt rather than forming a claggy lump like when they're warm.

But hey, different strokes for different folks.

Tbf I don’t eat milk chocolate and I find that dark chocolate tastes like dirt if it’s too cold.

Maybe the answer is to stop eating shite chocolate

Chocolate is something else utterly fucking ruined by hipster cunts. I like Dairy Milk and I don’t care about your 90% cocoa bollocks that tastes like the scrapings off your shoe

I've never really been a milk choc person, evem as a kid I preferred dark choc, but I used to love Cadburys. Most of that has gone to total shit but Twirls remain a guilty pleasure. When cold

Dark chocolate is hipster now

I used to like a snickers before I stopped eating dairy, not in the fridge though

Aye - back in the day, the ONLY person to eat a bar of Bournville was that odd old aunt, the spinster with weird tastes who only drinks cointreau

It’s gone the way of coffee with a huge amount of snobbery around it.
