I, too, have now received a packet of musk sticks. I agree with Angel that they are...strange. VERY...sweet!!!!!! What's that word...driech (dreck)ingly so. On balance, however, they aren't bad. I thought I detected a hint of cloves, which redeemed them entirely in my eyes. I let my family sample them. My son, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "Not bad". (He likes everything.) My husband and daughter each had a furrowed brow and crinkled-up nose as they tried theirs. Hubby: "This is foul." My dau.: "This is food?"
I'm glad to have had the experience!

Yep - this is one that divides the masses. I'm a definite 'Yea' too. I was accused of smelling like some kind of perfumed toiletry after eating some musk sticks, but I didn't mind. My first love (at 12) used to where White-Musk Body Shop perfume, which is prolly where my liking thereof began. I'd still go for a pack of 'Burger Rings' or 'Twisties' instead though. Especially considering thoughts refarding the origins of the musk aroma!

Hey - foul!

At least we don't have pressure pack cans of marshmallow - or cheese!

PS Gotta be careful with those Tim Tam slams - they're a choking hazard. The initial taste is delicious, but spraying hot coffee and molten choccie biccie all over the place once you choke sorta ruins it for everybody - particularly the closest bystanders.

I know, I know, and my father used to relate how milk used to cost eight cents a quart,...
Hey WoCoDoc Wait just a sec !!! That price was as recent as the 1940s ...and the prices were frozen during the WWII years.('41-'46)
Are you old enough to be a "doc?"

Now, would you all be kind enough to quit talking about chocolate ... don't you know any good vanilla treats ?
My M.D. has forbidden me to have any caffeine or chocolate! Both of which I used to consume in vast quantities! Thank Heaven for - at least - WHITE chocolate with which I can fool myself even though it doesn't taste the same sigh.
(...going on my way to sit in the corner and brood about life's small injustices resisting any impulse to comment upon corelation of sex and chocolate. What a good girl am I!!!)

Are we really talking food?

About chocolate/coffee/caffeine and having to give 'em up:

Try white chocolate almond bark or log. Fanny Farmer used to make white chocolate almond bark that was a bit of heaven itself.

Bark regards,
