Originally two walnuts & three flavours ; vanilla filling in either milk chocolate or plain chocolate & a coffee one.I remember the two walnuts. Friends were talking about it the other day and they were trying to convince me that there had never been one at the bottom. Now I have proof!!!
I agree ! And I did read that popcorn is something dentists shake heads at .. the kernels can get stuck between teeth and cause an abscess .. so i steer clear as I’ve had a couple in my life and won’t want that again ever !Spend £26 on popcorn bars that is! Whilst I'm sure they're very yummy, it's the sort of thing you may grab when you're going round the supermarket to munch in the car on the way home and you'll probably spend about 80p-£1 for one. I couldn't imagine anyone parting for the best part of £2 for one cause this pack of 15 work out at just over £1.73 each. I'm not saying they're not nice, but the price is shocking, and considering how ****** cheap the main ingredient is, you could make this sort of thing yourself for pennies. Even more shocking is the warning that the bars could contain un popped kernels...Unacceptable - for the price they're charging they should have a team of elves making sure there isn't any..guess they've gotta cover their backs. Great, spend £26 on popcorn bars and end up with a £300 dental bill - but nobody would would they?!
The government's response to the pandemic has had an appalling effect on dental services & the thought of having an issue that can't be dealt with quickly really concerns me. My current dentist, the best one I've ever had, is currently on maternity leave & I count myself very lucky to have found her; the one before her decided to drill through my bridge leaving me with a raging infection at the start of a bank holiday weekend that reduced me to a sobbing wreck who watched the clock waiting for my next Tramadol. I do everything I can to look after my teeth.I agree !

About 15 years ago I went for my usual six month check and the dentist noticed something unusual, and she asked a colleague to have a look, nothing to worry about they said but we will pop you up the hospital just to be sure.The government's response to the pandemic has had an appalling effect on dental services & the thought of having an issue that can't be dealt with quickly really concerns me.

Aww thank you, it was a horrible few months because I was facially disfigured because of the swelling, bruising and ongoing treatment, but I was back at work a week later, most of my customers were lovely a few were downright cruel but it taught me a lot.Covid will be claiming victims directly or indirectly for years to come, sadly.
I am so glad your dentist saved the day, SusieSue. I am so sorry you had to have such radical surgery. I hope you have a good quality of life after your treatment
All the healthcare professionals we come in contact with have their role to play in our health and well being, including spotting those stealthy assassins.
Opticians, dentists, district nurses, chiropodists... I believe I'm here today thanks to an annual health assessment I go to every year.
And don't forget if you go to chiropractors, osteopathy, a specialist...All can spot things that don't look quite the ticket. While no one is as invested in your current and future health and wellbeing as you are, having those extra, more trained eyes supplementing your own can be worth their weight in gold.

Wow ..: bless you ... your dentist is a heroAbout 15 years ago I went for my usual six month check and the dentist noticed something unusual, and she asked a colleague to have a look, nothing to worry about they said but we will pop you up the hospital just to be sure.
Couple of weeks later I got the hospital appointment on a Monday, I was seen by a dentist who went and got a colleague who went an got the consultant, nothing to worry about he said but we'll get a couple of x-rays and a biopsy.
Two days later I had a phone call from the consultant's secretary, would I be free to come in for a chat the following day...but there's nothing to worry about.
Cut a long story short I ended up having surgery where most of my hard pallet and many of my teeth were removed.
I had no symptoms, I've never smoked, if it hadn't been for my dentist I might not be typing this.
How many people have undiagnosed serious issues because of the governments effect on dental services.
I loved the coffee one.Originally two walnuts & three flavours ; vanilla filling in either milk chocolate or plain chocolate & a coffee one.
Your story has made me go cold. Thank goodness your dentist was thorough & that the follow up appointments happened quickly. My Mr T's just said that dental self care kits are 'flying off the shelves'. Very worrying.About 15 years ago I went for my usual six month check and the dentist noticed something unusual, and she asked a colleague to have a look, nothing to worry about they said but we will pop you up the hospital just to be sure.

My father worked for an export company, loved his job & visited some wonderful places. However, the highlight of his career was getting the contract with Cadburys to be the first person to send Creme Eggs to the USA & my parents had the trip of a lifetime to New York for their launch; he never told anyone that the whole family detested Creme EggsI only remember the non vanilla ones being quite late on - after I stopped eating them but I suppose if you aren’t buying regularly time sort of goes to the wall.
Not being a cream egg person I couldn’t say when they became the size of marbles rather than eggs. I saw them in the garage shop yesterday at 2 for £1 and loads of boxed Easter eggs on the shelves. Again I don’t like Easter eggs - no matter the brand they taste of cooking chocolate and even as a young child I was bitterly disappointed at the empty shells.
That's a great story, Twilight I used to adore creme eggs, but over the past few years I've found them unbearably sweet. I find as I get older that lots of things are too sweet now. Good for the waistline, I suppose.My father worked for an export company, loved his job & visited some wonderful places.

I love them both. No good for my waistline ☹Crikey, walnut whips & cream eggs, my late mother’s favourites. Thanks for the reminder.

No matter what fancy stuff he might eat Mr L maintains there is nothing quite like Cadbury’s Dairy Milk
