Somebody mentioned Tiki-Taki.
There is an IMO funny "heavy metal" version of a commercial for those bon-bons, a commercial which ticks ALL possible boxes of "advertising targeting women" - visually with Miss Anorexia contestants, the text being about sociability, about having a good time and making friends.


Warning - products with "adwokat" in the name are almost certain to have alcohol, or at least be alcohol flavoured. Same goes for "likier", but that should be easy to guess

Satisfying your sweet tooth AND alcohol craving sounds like a winner to me, especially if you have a lovely companion to share it with (among sharing other things)...

Yeah it's not actually for me. One of the kids started talking about how they tried Polish chocolate from a friend at school and they really liked it and how sweet it was and I was immediately offended because I'm supposed to be the provider of all penultimate sweetness in their miserable lives.

I might pass on the alcoholic candies though since the kids aren't Slavic. I think I'll give the aforementioned Krowki Milanowskie cocoa fudge candies a chance and the Ptasie mleczko because chocolate covered marshmallows sound great.

Also - if you or yours have a sweet tooth - wash down those krówki or kasztanki with IRN BRU, the Scottish fizzy pop. I once bought a six pack and ended giving those bottles away to assorted children and teens - too sweet for me. Mind you - I was a heavy Coca-Cola* drinker at that time ...

* European Coca-Cola is less sweet than USA version, using sugar from beets or sugar cane (like Mexican Coca-Cola, available at your local Pedro&Maria shop) and not corn syrup as sweetener.

I've heard of the Irn Bru before. Their propagandists have spread far and wide both on the internet and in real life. Not in the market for fizzy soda pop atm but who knows in the future. I don't drink much pop myself anyhow.

IMO the name fitts your reaction

As to sweetness of pop - American stuff is pretty sweet - I found either Dr Pepper or Mountain Dew undrinkable due to being too sweet. BTW - IRN BRU was not too exciting

@Buba I tried Dr Pepper only once, back me and my father had an actual father and son relations. It was 2008/2009, it was either Nevada or Utah, I tried one with horse jerky (just as of note, if I had actually known English back then I might have thought it twice) and I swear it felt like I was drinking a croissant .
The horse jerky was good even though it was bothersome to eat because it had the consistency of gum.

The Veal Parmesan sandwich from The Sopranos.



Does seem like a lotta prep for a sandwich. But I guess you don't have to put it on a roll of bread... 😋

Well, if you're gonna talk sandwiches...and don't give a damn about your waistline, no, REALLY, this sandwich, made famous by Elvis Presley is a monster. I present to you, the Fool's Gold Loaf.






1 large loaf (the biggest loaf you can get) of French Bread, 1 ENTIRE jar of peanut Butter, 1 ENTIRE jar of either blueberry preserves or grape jelly, and a WHOLE POUND of bacon fried crispy. Slather it all together and...watch the scales.
