Three Dimension Projected Hallucination

[robinbloke]

Is it me or are there two types of polo?

You know what I mean, come on. I don't mean flavours I mean the consistancy.
First there are your standard the ultra-hard-screw-your-fillings polos that CRUNCH when you bite into them polos.
And then, rarely, there are the not-very-packed and you-can-bite-them crunchy-soft type of polos; which are - in my opinion - way better than the former. This is not least because my teeth after eons of sugar abuse have now erected a security barrier to anything above 12% sugar that approaches my mouth.

Have you noticed the two types of polo or do you yet remain in ignorance of what I am wittering about?


Principally, however, this post was about hyphen abuse.

I am so glad I am not the only one who has noticed that!!!
I think the (far superior) softer ones are when they have become ever so slightly exposed to damp or somethng...

There then must be a way to convert normal polos to the heavenly non-crunchy ones...

I see the opportunity for a government grant, a huge factory with vats and bubbling machines and people holding up test-tubes proclaiming "I HAVE THE FORMULA!"

I think leave them out where they can absorb some damp...

not much though, just open the packet and leave them - you could even do regular testing...

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Some experimentation is required here I think...

Excellent! Will you post your results?

Scientific papers ahoy!

[sea-cucumber.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm minty goodness.

Sorry...started reading that and thought you meant the game!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

The mind boggles and then gets a double word score.

Water polo and the sort of polo you play on horseback...that was what you meant wasn't it? ;@)

Noooooooooooooot quite

Worryingly enough I both know what you mean and completely agree with you. Though I prefer mine hard.

Hard polos? Heresy!

[mazzarc.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. Unfortunately my boss hates mints, especially polos.. so we're not allowed them :-P

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

He does? The evil oppressor!

I definately have noticed 'em.. I prefer the latter sort. I think you need to shop in the dingier corner shops to have a better chance of finding them.

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Which implies they've been there for years, festering!

I was thinking, lots of hot/cold cycles, probably been in a storeroom for ages.. breaks down the glues and caking agents.. Mmm, yummy :) I still like 'em.

It's like these jellybabies on my desk. Whenever I eat a few, I get a headache. Yet I keep on eating them.

YESYESYES! This was something I too thought yesterday! How odd. But yeah, I think it's when a packet has been opened and exposed to air that his happens. though not to all!!
