    Expect to see a lot of this kind of thing in the next year or so. Tumbleweeds across the internet and so on.

        Thorntons ?

        Yuk...

        They're a McDonald's version of chocolate for the masses, who wouldn't know a good chocolate if it came up and bit them on the posterior.

        If you are going to order mass-produced chocolate, then there are much better, tastier alternatives, who at least try and succeed in offering some connoisseur produce.

        Hotel Chocolat

        Alternatively, for the real chocolate fiends, you need to broaden your horizons by sampling Artisan Chocalatiers.

        Happy Tasting !
        Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

          Thorntons went to the dogs when they started selling in Woolworths.
          Also the product is not the quality it once was.
          The management have sold it down the river.
