Malted Milk

chocolate-keyboardLet’s switch back to the 80’s here for a moment. Think about your favorite chocolate bar as a child. Does anyone here remember those malted milk chocolate bars?

I was eating a 3 musketeer’s bar at work when my buddy/co–worker (who is my Mom’s age lol) came in and eyed what I was eating.  He asked what it was and I told him the name of the chocolate bar, and he then said “Oh yea, like a malted milk bar?”

I then shouted “YES! Why did they stop making those?”

I’m not such a huge fan of the 3 musketeer’s bar, as I was a huge fan of the MALTED MILK! Why did they even stop making this bar? I remember as a kid it was one of my many favorite chocolate bars to choose from and now when I get the urge to have that bar, I grab a 3 musketeers and I am thoroughly disappointed once again, as it’s not the same recipe or ingredients as my childhood favorite. 3 musketeers is almost sickening after you’re finished three quarters of the bar.

We reminisced for about 3 minutes, and both agreed it should come back into stores.

I can’t even find an image on it, on google to show you all the deliciousness that it used to be!

Google image search has failed me once again:

  • Malted milk
  • Malted milk bar
  • Malted milk chocolate
  • malted milk chocolate bar
  • malted milk wrapper
  • malted milk white wrapper

Tell me, who remembers and misses this bar as much as I do? Mmmm.

My boyfriend always ends up making too much spaghetti for the both of us and we always end up having leftovers for three lunches. It’s a bit ridiculous and since neither of us like wasting food, we eat it. Blegh! I hate leftovers to be honest but it’s better than not cooking a whole new dish and getting all of my kitchen supplies all ruined by the box cutter frantically finding my pots and pans to open up my packed up boxes.

So while I was browsing the web I came across a spaghetti measurer. Of course the best finds are always in the states and never available to us Canadians, but I thought I’d post this neat invention. I’ve seen others but this one definitely tops them all.

It also comes in a variety of colors. But I think I like the grey one the best. Or maybe the white! Wouldn’t that be a neat thing to have?

Okay. Back to unpacking. It needs to be done. Boy, do I hate moving.

Ebay genius

5 Comments

After packing up my apartment I thought to myself, instead of giving my articles of clothing to good will — I should have sold them on ebay! I never got involved with ebay before and I decided to just randomly sign up a few days ago, and search for a few of my favorite things like the Lululemon brand. I’m a huge fan of this store and I’ve got headbands, pants, sweaters and even hair elastics from the store. But what I found on ebay was something incredibly odd and I will explain why in a moment.

When I went to purchase my hair ties from the Lululemon store in Toronto, they came in a 6 pack for maybe $10? I’m not sure because I bought them forever ago — but on ebay this one girl is selling her ONE hair tie and it’s up to four bucks already. Like holy cow, are you serious? People are willing to buy these hair ties for four bucks a pop? They don’t even fit in everyone’s hair properly, because I gave one to my soccer team mate during the winter and her hair is thicker than mine and it busted on her.

Maybe I should start selling some things that I don’t use/want. I wonder if people would actually buy them?
