Hampshire reds Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 After having more criticism about a topic i put on here i have decided not to start anymore. There are a few on here who dont start topics but have a great deal of pleasure in making comments about people who have an opinion. Without an opinion there is no forum. coyr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fingers Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 So are you technically breaching your pledge to not start any more topics by starting a topic stating you aren’t going to start a topic, or will you be not starting a topic after this last topic that you’ve started?

Robbored Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Bristol Rob is spot on - it’s the title of a tread that attracts my attention rather than the poster. That said there a couple of posters on here who’s views I value and always read their posts regardless of the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon will sell you anything between 3 and 40 of them at a time (forty for under thirty quid). But they are tax dodgers. Or, if you are more of a purist, then get involved with Hancocks. https://www.hancocks.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=Topic Which, for the curious amongst you will be amazed at the prices. https://www.hancocks.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS3City Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I can confirm that Topic's are still in existence, and that I ate one quite recently. Whilst the taste and texture was no different to what I expected I must confess that it was somewhat smaller than I recalled. However I'm not sure if this was as a result of it being part of a multipack (which seem to be quite prevalent these days, and a bit of a "swizz" in my opinion), or whether it was due to the fact that I was significantly younger when I last ate one. So much so that my hands would have been smaller, and hence the bar appeared bigger. Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dastardly red Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Topics were always small when compared with other chocolate bars. In a funny kind of way that actually made them more appealing to me. You knew you were getting a superior bar and the price point elevated them to luxury status. All chocolate bars have shrunk these days and the Topic is no exception, so much so that I'd categorise them as "snack size" which is half way between "fun size" and full size. If I ever decide to buy one again, I'll likely buy two so as to ensure I'm not left wanting more. In fact thinking about it, Topics might be my favourite chocolate bar. Yeah, I think they are.
