Okay hate is a very strong word -- but out of the three colours green is my very least favourite -- but I will eat them -- Nick threw his away.

Yellow Clinkers (Allens lollies chocolate covered sugary marzipan) are my absolutely favourite - they're pineapple flavoured, followed by the pink rasberry (which are Nick's favouite) and then the green which I have no idea what flavour its supposed to be - doesn't taste limey or appley - just green.

The big problem with a packet of clinkers is manufactuarers put the clinkers in a ratio like so 3 green : 2 yellow 1: pink -- for every pink/yellow there are 3 green -- I'm not kidding they last few times I have randomly chosen 3 clinkers out of the bag - and you bite a tiny piece of the tip of the chocolate to see the colour and all three are green!!!!!

*sigh* DOWN WITH GREEN CLINKERS!!!!!!

i don't mind the green ones -- i really dont' like yellow. you me and nick should be clinker friends: i'll eat the green, you can have yellow and he can have pink. but i do like the pink ones too.

i'm not sure about the ratio thing, i think you're biased because you want yellow but there are twice as many NOT yellow than there is yellow so you notice them more. maybe we should do an experiment -- ok ok (getting excited) we should do an experiment, buy a couple of packets of clinkers and see how many of each we get. then we can write up a report about it and get published in a consumer journal and clinker lovers from around the nation will finally have their suspicions about clinker colours put to rest. hmm we should get funding from somewhere for this research product. and sponsorship! wow, so much to do... i've never been a nationally recognised consumer issues researcher before!

Get Back to WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I'm serious -- 3 days in a row I've been restricting myself to 3 clinkers at a time so they'll last -- and everytime but once I've had 3 green ones
Actually I cheated a bit - I think I had 6 in one day -- 3 green and I was so discouraged I had three more 2 yellow and a pink -- I'm not joking!!!
and yesterday 3 green BLAH!
and this morning 3 green the packet has maybe 6 clinkers left - I'll lay odds theres 3 green 2 yellow and a pink

ARGH I HATE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (take my breath away - jessica simpson -- I so prefer the original blah!)

Tegan come babysit my runaway child so I can do laundry. Tegan come babysit my sleeping child (tonight) so Nick and I can go celebrate his review! (raise!!!)

My day is fine -- my child is a monkey! -- she's rolling on the floor sucking on a foam beer cooler/holder thing - eh it can't hurt her -- I've already taken enough stuff off her today - can't be bothered.

I've done one load of washing in the machine but haven't made it to the line - can't leave the monkey.

I was only kidding about the babysitting - but when I'm serious I'll call to see if you're free - a few days in advance

I meant you were wasting too much time thinking about clinker research -- I know how your mind works when you get an idea -- remember our restuarnt? and our choir?

I Love You - have a great weekend

i'm with you trina - green clinkers suck. My partner and i bought a bag a few months back and counted three pink clinkers in the enitre bag, mostly made up of the godawful green, then just last night as we settled in to watch a movie we counted 13 pink clinkers, with the majority made up of yellow, there were literally only about 7 green clinkers, it were the best!

Oh yay - I loved this blog and I've been visited by someone I don't know - very cool

Amanda - thanks for reading well done on that last bag it's a rarity. I think there should be a clinker poll,
