:thumbsup:

in Canton Ohio. LOL !

and didn't they add to much oil to even be considered chocolate anyway?

No wonder the googles didn't work! My bad.:D

:)

here.

craps. rw or not, I need free chocolate on Fridays. I need free chocolate every day. Even cheap n'sugary Mars chocolate. :cry:

Wait, that's still expensive. Making the need for them is free...

If you're gonna eat chocolate, get free trade. Mars uses near-slave labor to grow their cacao.

maybe slave was a bit of an exaggeration. But I don't think much of one.

I had one of those the other day, for the first time in like 8 months, it was sooooo good. Heaven in my mouth. *drool*

But every now and then, damn that Snickers is gooood. :)

Putting a Snickers bar in the freezer? I prefer that, to the actual Ice Cream.

:D

Apparently, they won't let you try until 9am.

I registered now at 9:10 and got message that I will receive free coupon in 6 weeks.
