How long has this been around? More "importantly", where can you get these?

Post by **Pepperidge** » Wed Aug 04, 2004 12:11 pm

These have been out for a good year. They're quite plentiful in my area, but then again I live in the city where they're made, so I'm not sure if I can speak for the rest of the continent.

They're good, though.

Mail me some. Dirty Canadian.

Oh wait.

Yeah, I haven't seen those things anywhere, but I've never seen any Brussels stuff. I'd never even heard of the company until the Sonic promotion was announced. I guess they're good...

They don't have Sonic spaghetti-o's anymore, do they?

No, sadly. I have six of them still stored away in my kitchen. They are to be eaten on extremely special occasions.

I'm using an empty can as the pencil holder on my desk. I have a couple more in my closet, including the ones with the original label (when it was brand new) and the redesigned Sonic Adventure labels.

I still love spaghetti-o's.

How long do those things keep for?

Hey Locit, you wouldn't be willing to part with one of those cans would you? I'll pay generously (but not ridiculously).

I think it'd smell really bad if you opened one today.

Locit · Post by **Locit** » Sat Aug 07, 2004 12:43 pm

Well, now you've gone and tempted me... I just might open one.

Photos please.

To quote the can:
"Hey kids! It's Sonic the HedgehogTM! The faster than sound "dude with a 'tude" has now blasted from his own video games into Franco-American(R) Pasta. Every bowl has wholesome tomatoes, enriched pasta, real cheese, and the fun shapes of way-y-y cool sonic and his friends. So dig in!"

Shapes include Knuckles, Sonic's head, Tails, Sonic jumping/spinning, Robotnik, and a power ring. You'll also be pleased to know that it has NO MSG!

Edit: I will not be opening them as I have just checked the expiration date on the bottom of the can, and November of 1998 was some time ago.

I bet you could. My grandmother, who is crazy, has eaten 20+ year old home-canned foods with no ill effects... she was crazy before that.

Locit · Post by **Locit** » Sat Aug 07, 2004 2:58 pm

How crazy before, and how crazy after?

Do it and take photos. You'll become a minor celebrity for, oh, 7 minutes.

Negligible difference.

Sadly, I haven't been able to find them in my area, but again I do live in Oklahoma and not much new stuff comes around here.

Post by **Esrever** » Mon Aug 09, 2004 10:19 am

I've got a few of them. Of course, I can't actually EAT them because they have peanuts in them, but my girlfriend bought some for me anyhow. :)

To the people who actually tried these bars(and other similar Brussels products), how good is the chocolate? How does it rank with the likes of Hershey, Nestle, Cadbury, and Lindt?

Post by **Segaholic2** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 8:42 pm

Who the crap are Cadbury and Lindt?

Spazz · Post by **Spazz** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 8:43 pm

Cadbury - that English chocolate egg filled with stuff that comes from that clucking rabbit.

Post by **Delphine** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 8:46 pm

Lindt makes the best chocolate evar.

Light Speed · Post by **Light Speed** » Tue Aug 10, 2004 8:57 pm

Shit yeah they do. It is some Swiss company, go to your grocery store right now and get some.

Post by **Esrever** » Wed Aug 11, 2004 1:59 am

Lindt is the best. I used to work at a tourist shop with a special Lindt counter. When they decided to close that section off, they sold off all those massive 1 1/2 foot long Lindt dark choclate bars for 75% off. (plus 10% employee discount!) I bought nine! Mmmm.

I live, like, an hour's drive from the Cadbury factory in Bournville, England. It's super sweet, you go through this boring museum thing but then a bunch of cool shit happens, you ride in this car and there's, like, talking chocolate buttons...I dunno, I was trying to get with this girl at the time so I didn't pay much attention. They give you a load of free chocolate bars though, and even a sample of fresh-from-the-vat melted chocolate wafery caramel goodness in little cardboard shot glasses and paper wrappers. Mmmm.

Anyway, Cadbury pwnz.

Lindt makes chocolate that you could eat at fancy restaurants, it's all fresh coffee beans and tiramisu and cookie dough and rum 'n' raisin and orange liqueur (spelling?) creme and shit. I always feel bad when I eat it, like it's too good for a mere peasant like me.
