Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@ralphdibny Rescheduled for tomorrow but man, I must not have made a good impression at all 😂

@ralphdibny where you living these days, London somewhere isn’t it?

So, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about the correct way to eat a KitKat and, to my horror, he has told me that he eats a KitKat without splitting it in half first and eating one KitKat finger at a time? Please tell me I'm not in the minority here?

I'm also really tempted to get some more KitKats imported from Japan. Some of the flavours they have over there are majestic.

@KAIRU I always eat a kit kat bar the normal way that everyone else does when eating a candy bar

only morons break it in half if they think the commercials make it look cool or whatever

@ralphdibny Sorry to hear you're having a tough time of things at the moment. One thing I did years ago that really helped at the time was to delete the Facebook app off my phone. I almost never use it now but found at that point that I was opening and scrolling through for ages out of habit with nothing productive coming from it. Yeah, I could have gone in through my phone's browser but the effortless of just opening the app made it too easy.

Perhaps bookmarking the forums for this place would be useful as well, rather than coming through the home page? My bookmark for this place is still on the main site but the vast majority of the time I just open up the forum first anyway.

@nessisonett good stuff! Well ya never know tbh, hold your head high, have some good natured humorous remorse and hope they see the funny side of it! Best of luck with it today!

@kyleforrester87 Surrey at the mo, been here about 18 months. I did used to be in SE. The commute into town is a real pain in the neck from either location though.

@KAIRU if I ever do a KitKat I'll do it in various ways. Chunkys pretty much always get the chocolate bit off first. Same with the fingers I suppose but sometimes they'll get munched in one or two mouthfuls. If I am ever in possession of a four finger bar, I like to take a careful bite out of the whole thing, trying to not break any fingers off. I like to look at the chomp mark across all 4 fingers.

@Thrillho thanks mate. I'm Gona do a thorough clean up of my FB in the near future. I've downloaded all my data from it and I'm going to start deleting all the photos and comments. I have to manually back up any pics people have uploaded of me though and I think I have to manually delete individual messages in messenger or they'll stay there, tied to my name.

It'll be both sad and liberating I think. Sad because most of it is really good natured stuff, lots of good times, conversations and relationships between friends. Liberating because the odd off colour joke I may have made as a teenager will have less chance of coming back to bite me in the ass now. Also liberating to be out of the constant doomscroll cycle that I found myself in.

But yeah I'm exactly the same, open app, scroll, watch vids, read strangers/bots comments (which actually make me feel awful quite regularly for some reason). Overall a waste of time that I would say makes me feel worse than better. I want to do a thorough scrub before I delete/deactivate/leave a skeleton profile up though. I think it will just niggle in the back of my mind that all this stuff about me is online if I don't erase a lot of it.

I'm not sure what I'll do about these sites yet. Defo Gona stay here for now. I think I've just ended up caring too much about how I appear here and it's bogging me down a bit. With that in mind, I might try posting more but less filtered and see what sort of response I get, if any. What have I got to lose if I'm considering leaving anyway?

Bookmarking the forums is a good idea though. That said, my initial reason for coming to these sites all those years ago was for news. I still want to keep abreast of the latest I suppose, but maybe I don't because it just results in me spending more money 😂😭

That's lunacy! I couldn't ever comprehend doing that! I have to eat them one at a time. I don't know if it's some particular OCD I have but I genuinely couldn't just take a whole big chunk out of it. 😅

@KAIRU 😂 it's probably OCD that allows me to do that. Only a four finger bar would get that treatment and the cross-finger bite mark is so pleasing to the eye. Generally I deconstruct chocolates. Bueno is a particular favourite. Bite the bottom off and well, I won't go on because the innuendo is too great.

But on any bar that has multiple segments or bag of chocolate (like buttons or minstrels) or multipacks. You can fulfil every desired way to eat something, bit by bit, all at once, melt slowly in mouth, slowly remove parts of it. I think my OCD likes it a particular way but that particular way I like it, is every single way imaginable.

How about a Twix @Kairu?

Do you eat the biscuit first and then chew a snakey bit of chocolate caramel at the end?

Or do you bite off the caramel first and clean it out of your teeth with a hard biscuit after?

@ralphdibny I'm usually not a 'deconstructing' kind of person, to be honest. I just eat a Twix one finger at a time. Though, with a Kinder Bueno — which are absolutely elite, by the way — I will eat one square(?) at a time. Same with only eating one triangular piece of a Toblerone at a time.

@KAIRU fair play, my next question would be have you ever been able to separate the white chocolate from the milk chocolate on a kinder egg? I can see that doesn't apply but I will say it takes some nimble nibbling! I'm not entirely sure it's still possible as they've changed the kinder egg a bit in the last few years

@ralphdibny I can't say I've ever even attempted to do that! Sounds like a challenge though! 😂

@ralphdibny Haha, it was alright in the end! That was something like stage 1 out of 4 so I think interviewing is just insane in general these days 😅

@StripedTomato Trying to break off a piece of one of those massive Toblerone bars should be an Olympic sport. 😂

@nessisonett good stuff, best wishes with the rest of it!

@ralphdibny Oh no, you are on of those that bites the chocolate off first! 😱

I was going to say, feel free to add me on psn, but I may have to retract that now!

@JohnnyShoulder haha I'll add you next time I'm online. My PSN is "bitethechocolateofftheedgesofthekitkat.com"

Jk of course lol. I'll add you tho 👍

@JohnnyShoulder sent you an add. Please don't reveal my real name on the forums! It is a secret 😅

@ralphdibny I reveal you, Ralph! All hidden will be revealed!

@AnVold haha please don't reveal me
