Advantages: Very effective for dry skin and chapped lips Disadvantages: Initial cost and strange smell
...'s grazed knee!
However, before I get too carried away, there is a warning on the tube not to apply the cream to puncture wounds, infections or lacerations. I got some on a deep cut by mistake once and whilst there was a slight stinging sensation it easily washed off and there was no further stinging.
One downside for me though is the smell, which seems more medicinal than cosmetic and took me a while to get used to. I also find the colour slightly disconcerting - a strange peachy/brown - although it appears clear when you apply it. Although it calls itself a cream, its consistency and texture are more like a gel and as such I find it a bit off-putting applying it to large areas of skin (eg using it as a moisturiser) and prefer to use it on smaller "problem" areas.
The initial outlay on a 50 ml tube is around £17 which sounds a lot...

Advantages: Low in calories. Disadvantages: The chocolate balls may get a bit lonely.
...double choc? and is it really a diet biscuit?
so:-
The Taste.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not bad, not my favourite. It tastes quite good but the cookies are quite thin. As for double choc, the little chocolate balls are quite lonely and isolated. I do prefer to call them balls, they are not really chips. They may as well be called double chocolate ball cookies meaning literally, 2 chocolate balls in each cookie. I think I have counted 4 in some, but they are certainly not bombarded with chocolate balls.
That is as far as I would go with regards to the double chocolate. The cookie almost tastes as it the chocolate is rationed, that is how it is diet I guess. They dunk OK, but being thin and not exactly densly packed, the dunkability is not fantastic. They do dunk though, but they are far from achieving status on my top ten dunkers...

...?George?s Marvellous Medicine? was the first of Roald Dahl?s stories which we read to our eldest son. It?s the story of a little boy who has a real stinker of a grandmother. She?s rude and scary and bosses him around all the time. One day George?s mum and dad have both gone out, leaving him alone with his Grandma. George has had enough of Grandma bullying him and so decides to cure her of her cantankerous behaviour with a special potion, which he?ll give her instead of her usual medicine.
He finds an enormous saucepan in the kitchen and lugs it all around the house, essentially putting in a bit of everything he finds [lipsticks and canary seed included!]. He even makes sure he adds some brown paint so that it is the same colour as Grandma?s real medicine! He then boils it up to make sure that everything?s nicely mixed together before...

In common with things such as ginseng and taurine, guarana has recently become a very fashionable word to bandy about. I’m sure you know the kind of thing I mean – stuff you get in energy drinks, the kind of things style magazines tell you are cool... more
