... And eat Hersheys?
I know the process for that:
1. Put a Hershey's product in your mouth.
2. Gag
3. Puke

You have actually put that stuff in your mouth!
I get as close as walking past the door of a Hershey's shop (we have them in underground malls where you cannot avoid them), gag and leave - quickly. The smell of all that sugar is revolting.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I suppose it's handy if you want to leave work early: just Hershey-puke all over your keyboard.

Another coded message to your bot-net minions ? I bet some folks at NSA, GCHQ, FSB, Unit 8200, etc., are scratching their heads over this one, right now.

Yes, they eat the "dry" outer circle then pop the rest in whole and let them slowly melt.

Ooooohh... I certainly hope so! It's wonderful to keep them entertained by harmless pursuits rather than leaving them to do more dastardly works in their free time.

All I know is that the proportions are based around keeping the weight evenish and making sure there are enough of anyone's favourite without too many of any single type.
That's my thruppence, back to the red wine...

You should make your own quality-street knock-off (e.g. bits of Toblerone for the green triangles, chopped-up Fry's turkish delight).
It keeps the sprouts busy for a while, and is invariably better quality.

...to a mates place. We finished it and we're now down the pub. Trying to sweet talk the Missus in to letting me stay longer.
The mate is 18 years my junior, hope he can keep up.

I'm afraid to ask, but what does "carton" usually refer to in Oz-sprach; in Americanish its default signification absent contextual information and applies-to-object is to a certain size package of cancer-weed tubes (cigarettes) ? In Americanish slang, a "a carton-pusher" is an vendor of illegal cigarettes.
If discretion requires you answer this only indirectly (how would I know what substances are used on the way to a mating place in your down-under ?), then an answer in the form of: "drank," "ate," "smoked," "injected," "snorted," "bathed-in," etc., without further detail would be understood.

"Carton" is Western Australian for a box normally containing 24 "stubbies" (or short bottles of beer containing about 375ml) but which can hold 30 on occasion.

Down in the south of the US, we call those a suitcase of beer. Same principle, you buy one when you're ready to get f***** up.

Where you from, old boy; I ain't never heard of no suitcase of beer down home, and I come from where the howlin' dogs are quieted by throwing 'em fresh-fried hush-puppies, where uppity white-folks don't eat catfish, and where folks who say "col-yum" instead of "column" ain't never read no Faulkner, let alone James Joyce.
Y'all have a good 'un, now.
