Which is a definite yes? Which is a definite no? Which might you try?

Controversially, yes to pretzels and maybe to crisps. I like a bit of salted savoury.

Of course is also say yes to M&Ms.

No to Oreos. Oreos are essentially shit Bourbons from America, and they need to stop infesting our divine British food with them.

Fight me! Your street address format confuses TF out of me, so I can't meet you at a location. Just name a city and I will defend Oreos there with flailing and wild swings. Leeds? How about Liverpool, that sounds like fun.

I mean when you're here you can just pick up some bourbons and then there's no need to fight.

Diplomatic solution, eh? I already had handbills printed, it's a shame... "International Bourbons Brouhaha Liverpool, One Night Only"

Yeah, no need for a scrap - just a cup of your preferred warm drink, and a giant tin of assorted biscuits to share :)

I admire your passion for biscuits.

And Bourbons are just shit knock off Hydrox. The Brits need to stop importing food and trying to claim they invented it.

I thought the Bourbon was more of a Custard Cream ripoff?

Anyway, I'd never even heard of a Hydrox. I'd love to try one. I'll try any biscuit once.

My objection to Oreos is that Cadbury (who used to make a lot of UK chocolate) got bought out by the same company that makes Oreos, and then started putting pieces of Oreo in every product they make, then the shelves filled up with the Oreo ones and you couldn't get the normal ones.
