    • Cost of a circuitous walk through a dark London alley on a quest for momentary pleasures... Personal safety and questionable health risks.
    .
    • Cost of a carton of Cherry Ripes... $100 on Debit MasterCard.
    .
    • Enjoying a fun thread like this on DGrin... Priceless.

    Gotta be one of the best photo essays in months, Andy. thumb.gif

    Now, I must ponder this thought. I am getting mighty worried, and even a bit scared, where all this C-Riping is headed. headscratch.gif And then this new drug I hear about just today; what's it called? Coffee Crisps, is it? ne_nau.gif

    There will be a day when these forums are all but emptied out; and the de-tox units will be filled with mostly Smugmuggers and Dgrinners. :twitch

    Does health insurance cover the risks of these foods? Or does it come under some exemptionable clause of self-endangerment? deal.gif

    I have to admit to feeling guilty for introducing a desperate and weakened man to a new source of supply. I just hope his children don't see him in this chocolate, cherry induced feeding frenzy.

    I'll never forgive myself!! I insist the box is finished by the time you reach the airport :D


    andy can we expect more frequent visits to London now??

    has anyone ever told you, you are a tease, before. headscratch.gif
    Hi there Dragon, yep have been told a couple of times, they also sell other flavours as well, but I think you guys are pretty much fixed on cherry ripes at the moment.

    Cheers

    rolleyes1.gifLaughing.gif, the empty box says it all :D . Interesting perspectives Andy to start off with. The rest I'm just plain old jealous. I didn't know these were that popular in the US ??. I've tried them a couple of times and there were darn good I must admit. If you ever get down this way, I'll give you a box of peanut slabs mwink.gif

    Googled it
    We ought to get paid (in Cherry Ripes) for helping Cadbury promote these things.

    As of when I write this, if you type in "cherry ripes" in Google™, Dgrin threads about Cherry Ripes come up as the 6th and 7th listings. And if we keep this up, we'll be ranked even higher. We Rock! thumb.gif

    And I haven't even had the pleasure of eating one yet. :cry

    This is the funniest thread ever
    Andy, you are quite a story teller. Love the photo essay. Maybe we can ALL write letters to Cadbury and get them to market these things in the US. Their Cadburry Easter Eggs do a tremendous business at Easter time. Of course, if they sell Cherry Ripes during one season only, all the "hooked" individuals will revolt. rolleyes1.gif
