Title: Life's Eternal question?
Post by: aldo_14 on October 13, 2003, 04:45:17 pm
Which is nicer - chips & cheese or rainbow drops?

Personally, I'd say the light yet tasty snackiness of Rainbow Drops makes them superior, albeit not well suited to a full lunch.

Rainbow drops? These wouldn't be deep-fried skittles by any chance?

ROFL Crunchier than Mars Bars ;)

Rainbow Drops are basically Rice Crispies with a coating which is a mixture of sugar and colouring. They are called rainbow drops because of all the different colours they come in (depending how much gloop landed in that mixture). They are actually quite nice, but then, I hate the idea of chips and cheese! ;)

Yes we're stubborn that way. :D

So basicly a "fish and chips" here would be a Fish Fillet sandwich with fries! :p

You can eat 10 bags of them and then be like "Hmm. I'm still hungry".

They're basically just colourfully packaged air.

toco bell nachos and cheese. taco bell sells these chips that don't really look normal. no variation in color or anything. they look pretty darn fake. anyway, get those and some cheese dip, and happiness is for you.

Eh, if you remove the 'sandwich' part you'd be correct.  Leastwise, I've never seen 'fish and chips' serve the fish as anything but fillets, sans any form of bread.  Maybe the US is weirder than we give you credit for.

Rainbow drops are cool, u can see how many you can fit in your mouth- though rather poor as a weapon to throw at people.
Never been a big fan of chips and cheese.
Gravy and chips though...

or curry and chips...

I'm off for lunch...


(yes its 11am)

Rainbow drops (the food of the gods) - http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/acatalog/Rainbow_Drops.html

Chips n' cheese - chunky chips, covered in grated cheese.  which the heat of the chips then melts.

Both sound pretty nice but I too prefer chips 'n' gravy :)

You're missing out, mate! One of the finest chocolate-based snacks anywhere in the universe! The Scots have taken it one step further, and they deep-fry the things and serve 'em up with chips (proper chips, now, not those weedy little American-style fries you get in burger joints). Surprisingly (and against all expectations) they actually taste pretty good!

Erm, yeah. In its most basic form it consists of peanuts and rasins. More extravagant combinations can be found, of course, but they all usually consist of some sort of mix of nuts and dried fruit.

Oh, right, I know what that is. Just never called it Trail Mix before... almost sounds like a kind of petrol. :p

[color=66ff00]Personally I'd have to go with yougart in all its splendour, love that stuff.

As for sweeties; sour skittles, but them buggers 'll eat a hole in you if you consume enough of them, I'm surprised the package holds them without succumbing to acidic melting.

Sour smarties are nowhere near as bad as the Irn-bru bar - you could use that to etch glass.  Or indeed, the slightly (but only slightly) less volatile chewy 10p Wham! or Coke bars.
