UK: Liqueur chocolate law is scrapped - meaning under 16s can now buy them - Polidicks

[QUOTE=.Isak.;46662366]holy shit that sounds delicious[/QUOTE] People rating you disagree have no idea what they're talking about.

[QUOTE=Magman77;46662764]People rating you disagree have no idea what they're talking about.[/QUOTE] The ONLY tolerable ones are the Baileys, and Kahlua ones. Otherwise its just shit-teir alcohol in low quality chocolate.

[QUOTE=matt.ant;46662568]They used to sell the cherry brandy ones in Poundland [IMG]http://www.chocablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/walkers-cherry-brandy-1-400x295.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.chocablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/walkers-cherry-brandy-2-400x274.jpg[/IMG] I liked them[/QUOTE] Alcohol content must have been something like 1% for Poundland.

the bailyes ones are okay.

It's true, I ate these when I was younger, and now I spend my christmases drinking whiskey while watching die hard 1 on repeat

There was a news story here few weeks ago about a store not selling these to a customer because he didn't have ID. I just couldn't help but think is this seriously a problem? I kept imagining teenagers eating shittons of chocolate under a bridge somewhere, acting all cool and whatever, "yo, throw me one with nougat!".....it's not going to happen is it. EDIT: also they taste freakin' horrible.

[QUOTE=JumpinJackFlash;46662549]William died later that evening, having been deathly allergic to chocolate because William was actually a dog in disguise.[/QUOTE] That twist. Great story, would read again.

Chocolate candy filled with rum, yum yum

The UK is a bit retarded like that. I still chuckle when they ask me for my ID whenever I'm buying rolling papers, or more recently fucking instant glue. (Apparently it contains "chemicals", which as you all know are such a dangerous thing)

[QUOTE=Coffee;46662977]It's true, I ate these when I was younger, and now I spend my christmases drinking whiskey while watching die hard 1 on repeat[/QUOTE] That sounds like a pretty good Christmas to be honest.

I've had chocolates filled with Canadian Club before, can't say I'm very fond, and the sensation of the liquor bursting out of the chocolate is very strange. I seem to not like chocolate mixed with things, except peanut butter. I like booze and I like chocolate, but I don't like booze chocolate. I like mint and I like chocolate, but I hate chocolate-mint.

[QUOTE=croguy;46662580]If you're going to eat liquor chocolate at least get the best one: [t]http://online.idea.rs/images/products/442/442104839l.gif[/t][/QUOTE] pfff Hotel Chocolat represent seriously they're fucking great chocolates but the alcohol content is strong as hell, you could literally have a small selector of them and feel tipsy afterwards, they don't go soft on them. [img]http://www.hotelchocolat.com/Images/Product/Default/xlarge/Tipples-Signature-Collections.jpg[/img] or even stuff like the mojito cocktails, it's almost as if someone poured a shot into your mouth. [img]http://www.hotelchocolat.com/Images/Product/Alternative/xxlarge/140430-mojito-cocktails-selector-1.jpg[/img] but for shitty poundland stuff, I can't really see why anyone regardless of age would buy them because they're fucking gross

if they were worried about under 16's getting a taste for liquor I think stopping them getting actual booze is more important edit: on the subject of id, I got i'd once buying a can of monster

I once went on a high school trip when I was 14 to Ypres and the WW1 trenches and cemeteries in Belgium and on the way back home we stopped off in a city and I bought a bunch of 'proper' chocolate liqeurs that were quite big and contained quite a lot of spirit - I ate a couple boxes of them and was hammered. The teachers were bemused by my apparently accidental antics.

Imagine this except it's a Vodka bottle and instead of chocolate there's glass and it's full with vodka

I love these things and go through about three boxes over Christmas. New shipment is due in a few weeks :v:

I had these, the Galliano and Tequilla was the best imo. I want more, they're probably the perfect gift for anyone over 21.

Can I encase an actual bottle of alcohol in chocolate, call it liqueur chocolate and sell it to minors?

[QUOTE=Mmrnmhrm;46668187]Can I encase an actual bottle of alcohol in chocolate, call it liqueur chocolate and sell it to minors?[/QUOTE] Chocolate dipped 40s for the kids!

Over here the cheap variation actually has no alcohol, only this syrupy substance with pepper in it or something that "bites" the tongue to simulate liqueur.

These are basically impossible to get drunk off of

[QUOTE=JohnFisher89;46668312]These are basically impossible to get drunk off of[/QUOTE] There's probably about 1ml per chocolate. A UK 'single' is 25ml which for whiskey is 1 unit, and you're allowed to drive on less than 4 units.

All you will get from trying to get drunk off these is sugar rush and/or stomach ache
