<DIV><FONT face=Arial>you may recall me asking you a few weeks ago if chocolate
penguins were still made. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>you replied you were actually eating one that very
moment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>well, I was looking round my local indian shop for
papadams when I espied something I have never seen here before, in fact I can't
remember when I last saw them [50 years
ago?].........................</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>PENGUINS - "milk chocolate covered biscuit bars filled
with chocolate cream". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Still made by McVitie's apparently, whose address is given
as ashby-de-la-zouch, where I suppose they are made [but they could be made in
poland or roumania, etc.]. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>not only was I happy to see them, I was thrilled that the
maker holds an appointment to her majesty the queen as biscuit manufacturers.
McVitie and Price, Edinburgh.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>so I P..P..P..Picked up a Penguin. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Not only that, if I find a missing penguin inside I will
win a family holiday to south africa - or 1 of 200 family zoo
tickets!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>oh, happy day - first the good news - lo, verily I
did find a missing penguin in my packet of penguins; the bad news is that the
promotion has expired, so I don't get to see south africa nor the
zoo.............................</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>what bad luck...........</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>however, they do taste the same as I remember. the major
change is the size; in 50+ years the size has shrunk to half what it
was!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>but they are a good source of calcium, have no artificial
colours or flavours, have no hydrogenated vegetable oil and appear to be calorie
free, what more could I ask for?</FONT></DIV>
