nuts drove me nuts

i got out for work today, the sunshine was bright. it gently touched my tanned skin, it was warm and i liked it...

haven't been updating this for quite some time. should i be worried? i have no idea how many actually read this blog anyway. have you been waiting? just to update everybody, its been 2 weeks. too many, and too few things happened.

so, i'm just curious and wanted to ask, especially the ladies. who doesn't like milk choc balls? how about with nuts? it's been real long since i had some back in the days when they all came in square tin containers and only during chinese new years.

i was hunting at a supermarket the other day and found that this may be one of the best value for money choc you can get from the shelves. cadbury dairy milk milk choc balls in plastic container packaging that reminds me of mariah carey's oversized and cho-lo boobs. do ignore the fact that i have already indulged half of them as i write this but it looks something like this:



and ok, basically we have 3 type of nuts here. almond, hazel and ground nuts. my dear friend told me she dislikes 'mixed nuts' because it drives her nuts. she doesn't like the ground nuts. hehehe. i figure that i might be able to help her (and maybe some of you) to still be able to enjoy the contents of this wonderful bottle so here goes: a simple experiment to distinguish what you may get from that choc ball you are holding. look at the pic below.


ok my guess: the biggest one will be almond. no need to be too smart to figure this out. now, the more challenging part, hazel and ground nut. which is which? mu guess: left is hazel, right is ground nut. hazel is round thus should 'produce' a round choc ball, while ground nut is a bit oblong thus an oblong (duh!) choc ball. lets see... nobody mess with the piko...


ok i am humiliated by a nut. the "almond" turned out to be a stupid big ground nut. i have been humiliated by a nut. take that you nut! (swallowed the nut whole without chewing) uhuk uhuk cough cough. (from this moment on i had a grudge on ground nuts except against the ngan yin brand ones)

but piko is not to be denied! this is the largest choc ball i find and am sure the rest of the 2 will be what i think they are. here goes!



no need to be amazed by my brilliance. its an almond! heh heh heh *grins. now the second one will be a hazel. dont believe me?


you were warned. its a hazel. hmmmph. don't mess with the piko. next up! lets reveal the ground nut!


as you can see it looks like a hazel nut shaped ground nut. yes. yes. as you can see. yup.

so there you have it folks. i have just educated you on how to distinguish various kinds of nuts that hide in your milk choc balls. big big is almond, small got two shapes: round is hazel, slightly oblong is ground nut. good? good...


the conclusion: nuts drives me nuts (swallow all nuts without chewing!) cough cough!!!!
