ripe juicy cherries and coconut ....

• 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.

Now, I must ponder this thought. I am getting mighty worried, and even a bit scared, where all this C-Riping is headed.

And then this new drug I hear about just today; what's it called? Coffee Crisps, is it?

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?

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

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

Do I dare mention that cadbury's actually sell a cherry Ripe icecream?

Just as good as the bar version and get to satify the desire for both cerry ripes and icecream

Great story Andy...

Are you sure you wont be sick of 'em before then ?

Now ...have you put some in the fridge & tried them really cold ? Thats the best way to eat 'em !

Tassie - I will PM you my address in LA. Please go to your nearest store, purchase 5 gallons of the CRIC, contact DHL, explain you have a perishable shipment bound for the US, have them provide a dry-ice chest...

Look, you all may drool over cherry ripes, Andy may be king of the ribs, but nobody, understand NOBODY can out-eat me on ice cream NO BODY!!!

Forgot to mention that my local store would be the cadbury's factory about 5km from where I live, will hopefully be doing a job out the in teh up coming months.........can't wait

has anyone ever told you, you are a tease, before.

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
David

, the empty box says it all

. 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

Danny.

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!

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

Mate i must admit...i have evil intentions taking the 15 odd bars over in my camera bag but never ..NEVER did i think i would uncover a monster of biblical proportions.

Just dropped a 7bar special in one sitting....im going in to have my stomach pumped in about an hour.

from the airport lounge, gatwick
i started two days ago with 48 cherry ripes. after two days with gubbs and luben, and gubbs' family (after all, mrs g is about to lamb jr gubbs!), there's only 25 bars left!

whoops - 24 - damn, shudda packed 'em in my luggage

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.

Just checked Google. It's now #3.
