From this loot sent by Jenn (in return I mailed over a set of crummy postcards and used stamps). I've got just one King Size tree left. Also gobbled up: the bag of pieces-of-eight with Kennedy's side profile. It's slowgoing as I like to ration my chocolates so that they last for as long as possible.
A rather more dubious looking set of confectionery cropped up in the monkey's new cubicle yesterday, which the simian sweetly offered to my unbemused duck. In a carton smaller than a matchbox I found a foil wrapper containing four crumbly cubes of sweetmeat. The one I eat was labelled as 'Cake of Chestnut Flavor' in flowery script that my eyes could barely make out. The manufacturer of these treats, China xiamen qiqi health food Co., Ltd (sic), lists the following ingredients: glucose, edible starch, vegetable oil, edible flavorant, antioxidant (THBQ). This delightful collection also includes a Cake of Taro Flavor, a Peanut Cake and a Sesame Green Bean Cake. For some reason, the ape declined to sample her own delicacies...
its not that i refused to eat it but rather ive already had the strawberry one already!
Don't like it a lot... my coworker bought it from xiamen over the holidays

How can you hold out so long? We are deeply into the Valentine's candy here already.
