Charlottechicken Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I'm shocked at all you lower-layer lifters! You should NEVER, EVER start on the second layer, until all the first layer is finished - it's the chocolate law. I am in total agreement Shona. I cannot believe people would behave like this and then brag about it openly . Obviously this thread belongs on a different forum, one where manners are lacking, such as RC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 It is quite shocking what people do in the privacy of their own homes, isn't it. Fancy openly admitting to removing chocolates from the lower layer before the upper one is empty. Quite frankly, I'm speechless . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I eat the second layer first!! I feel so dirty now. I wish I hadn't admitted to my guilty little secret now Hey but as soon as you take the second layer out it actually swaps round. Like starting at the wrong end of a packet of fruit pastels.

Lesley Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I eat from whichever layer tickles my fancy, even if there are loads on the top layer left I would progress to the second without another thought! if i dont like one after ive bitten into it....it goes back in the box for hubby!! I have to say ........... I'm with Chelsea on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I would...... if I didn't like them!

Tiggy Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I had a lovely box of chocs too but the ganets in my house ate them all!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I eat all the ones I like, whether it be from the top or bottom layer. I put back the ones I've tried & don't like. I leave the wrappers of the chocs off the bottom layer in the empty holes, oh & the nuts too, that have come out of the middle of the chocs!!!! Hubby is a 2nd layer choccy pincher too & doesn't crack on! So when I look for a turkish delight or strawberry cream, they are all gone. SO best buy a box each!!!

chickencam Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have been very strict over Christmas about first layers being finished before second layers are started. I think each new layer is like a new box so is something to be looked forward too. Opening the second layer is the beginning of the slippery slope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Doesn't it rather depend on whether they are your chocolates, or someone ele's? If their yours then I think taking from the second layer is fine. If it's a shared bix, then I think th swapping tactic is in order. But if it' someone elses box then it's a definitel no no. Another tip is that if you like a choccy that you know other people don't, then DON'T pick it out when the bix goes round No one will eat it, and at the end you'll have them all to yourself anyway.

Lesley Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 ....and another tip is to take two at a time but make it look as if you've only taken one! No wonder I need to lose weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Or wait until OH is upstairs and sneakily have a foil wrapped chocolate, then re wrap the foil around a small stone or pebble!!! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Or eat the whole box when they are at work and have to buy a replacement!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
