Delurking I remember a story about it in a paper in 1980s. Apparently Mick Jagger and David Bowie was involved it that. Off back to lurking

I've heard its an urban myth, ultimately who knows!
Probably is an urban myth. If things are repeated enough times it is eventually written into history as true.
I still remember the sketch from a Scottish comedy show (Chewing the Fat perhaps?) some years ago about Curlywurlies. Men get it all wrong with women - chocolate is not a substitute for sex, sex is a substitute for chocolate. After all, what man can live up to a Curlywurly?
Of course, that was in the days when Curlywurlies were ginormous....
Uh oh I see they've wrestled the phone(s) back off whoever was guarding them while they were having their 'treatment' ,we're gonna have a whole weekend of non-stop Twitter bollox aren't we ...starting with the retro sweets nonsense ,next up will probably be what was your favourite school dinner or were you a Magpie or Blue Peter or Tiswas or Multi Coloured Swap Shop Frau or Herr ...bit before your time Jack when you are grunking

Grunkaing, so apologies if already stated. I've got 8yrs on Jack, I've even got vague memories of the 1/2p existing. Those sweeties were more than a penny when I was a child. They'd certainly have been more by the 90s when she would've been buying them.another sweets thread?! boring

I treated myself to a reread of thread 31 earlier. I just wanted to remind myself of "sad little face". she'd given up printing it all out by then
Just the Woolies mud cake, which is brown and kinda gross for all its hype tbh. I bet Jack would love it

I’m on my way
They were amazing and almost certainly vegan, my family WhatsAPP has turned them into such a cult item that I’m almost scared that if they came back they wouldn’t live up to my memories.I'd give the Frys 5 centre ago if they were vegan, they already do 5 vegan fondant barsJack is so boring. I bet she thought sitting on that pink sofa would make her look younger because it has the softy soft glow of a thousand wool suns. Her brick cake must have fallen off the ceiling after she threw it up there for the DIVA awards, that's where her eyes kept darting to during the vid. Then it fell off and hit her on the head and reset her to ye auld sweet shoppe mode.
'mon Jack you can do better than this.
Also shocked to read that about Tom Kitchin. I met him a few years after the incident and had no idea. He certainly didn't come across as a bully. Restaurant kitchens are incredibly stressful places to work but that is no excuse for his behaviour. Maybe the backlash has helped him to change and become a nicer person.

The Mars bar knows.
Marianne Faithfull denies the mars bar story, and she admits to pretty much everything in her book, so I'd say it was false.
How many times has Ye Olde Sweete Shoppe Jack popped up now? It's at least four times now surely? No wonder she has such an ouchy mouth though!

@Cookiecookie I read her book as well, about 25 years ago (!). I remember her denying the story and I believe her.
As for Yack-Fack-Hack, if I were a donor to her Patreon I'd be asking for my money back. She's taking the piss, again.
I'd ask for my doggo pics back too.

It must have been love, but it’s over now.
So I went to the font of all knowledge
It was a Marsbar here, I wonder what chocolate bar Jack will choose to tell the story about?
This is so gross, the story at my school involved peanut butter and a dog.
When's the next full moon? Have we just had one?

oh yes, we had alicked by dogger in our school as well. Maybe that was the Northern thing
Tbf she’s not consistently looked like that so...
It was just when she started posting I thought it was someone doing it on her behalf and then she posted this picture and I received my award for the Worst Detective Ever shortly thereafter
Did she bury the Diva award winning under irn bru tablet chat because her acceptance speech was quite bad? Or she doesn't want any questions about how she influenced the 'redesign of the benefit system'?
The joke is on the Diva awards, as this shows exactly what a tit/unprofessional influencer she is. Beyond Tattle, nobody is talking about her winning this. What an influencer, eh?

My mum actually *did* engage in a sex act with a Mars bar
Sweet shop jack is so dull, we deserve some excitement

The gross story in my school involved a cucumber (that broke off) not a candy bar, I guess the government campaigns for healthier habits had some effect
