    Wow....three pages over a piece of chocolate ( not even really good chocolate ...lol ) !
    I wish I lived in a 1st World country and could share those problems......:o).
    Now back to filling the bath tub, pots and buckets with water, because due to a chronic water shortage my part of the town will have the water turned off this pm until late Sunday night, so another part of the city can have water.

    Seriously? You're complaining about temporarily not having water service while people in third world countries NEVER have access to clean water? Geez, must be nice to be entitled.

    Fun game, figured I'd play along with you.
    They don't have Internet access or computers, either.

    "Uh, honey, this is a caramel Cadbury Egg, I like the cream ones, thanks anyways, you're the best." **kiss kiss hug hug** Life continues.

    Is there some underlying reason its not as simple as that? If I had to tiptoe around something this simple in a relationship i would be out. :-P

    It's not that I don't think he'll be okay with it xD
    I just really hate doing that to people.
    I guess I'll just have to get used to it, I'm sure it'll happen a lot o:

    It happend to me today. A colleague gave me a huge box of chocolates because of some award I received at work. She wanted to give me something too I guess as congratulations. I thanked her. I ate a piece then put the box in the commual snack area because no way am I eating 20 chocolate pieces all by myself.

    Yeah unfortunately we all get things that may not be exactly what we want..hopefully the giver is cool enough to be fine with a little nudge in the right direction for next time. :)

    You should move. First world countries are way cooler about leaving the water on every day.

    The hierarchy goes Chocolate & caramel > Chocolate & peanut butter >x1,000,000 Chocolate and gelatinous egg goo.

    Sacrilege! There is no better combo on this planet than chocolate & peanut butter!

    Start the thread. Conduct a poll. I stand by my statement.

    And don't get it twisted. I loooooove chocolate and peanut butter, ok? I spent a year losing weight. 2 months of that was solely to remove 15 years of peanut butter and chocolate ice cream from my body, because it's delicious and amazing and my only friend when I'm feeling down.

    But chocolate and caramel wins. Better consistency, more complimentary flavors.

    You want some of this? Bring it.

    I will admit, I'm somewhat bias in my opinion because I have a long-standing love affair with peanut butter but there is just no way you can say chocolate and caramel are more complimentary. You need to get off the bus to crazytown. Not even close.

    I WILL FIGHT YOU TO THE DEATH!!

    I love peanut butter in intense, shameful ways you don't even want to step to. Favorite cereal? Peanut butter Cap'n Crunch. Favorite Asian sauce? Bangkok Padang Peanut Sauce (HIGHLY recommend this) Favorite Ice Cream? The previously mentioned Chocolate and peanut butter, 1 half gallon, 1 spoon, no waiting and don't look me in the eyes.

    Chocolate and peanut butter are a great match, they've had some really great times together, but they don't always get along. Sometimes the peanut butter overpowers and feels gritty. Sometimes the chocolate does (case in point, regular Reese's cups. The holiday shapes are superior). When they're mixed right it's a harmonious coupling, but they've had some rough times together and don't always speak at the dinner table.

    Chocolate and caramel...baby it's just meant to be. When it's right it's right and you can't fight these things. They go together in ways that tease and satisfy. So smooth, so creamy, dancing and swirling together in your mouth until your eyes start to roll back a little bit.
    I have to know what kind of treacherous chocolate peanut butter ice cream lead to your downfall. I do not belittle your pain, just....you know...for science.

    Its been a slow day... maybe people just wanted something silly to fight about rather than the usual "I ate xx calories for a week and gained/lost XX pounds, am I in starvation mode?" ;-)

    Oh, and speaking of 'gelatinous egg goo', am I the only one who takes a bite of the shell and then eats that part first? Is that normal or am I a total psycho? #fatkidproblems

    I nibble a small hole in the end and then scoop out the creme with my tongue before scoffing the chocolate shell.

    You should do that in front of large groups of women.

    Can't imagine why, I don't see it as a spectator sport...

    Welcome to Friday at MFP.



    Oh, and I don't see the problem. It wasn't a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg. In that case, you should never eat them. In fact, if you ever find yourself with one, send it to me. I'll take care of it for you.

    In the "almost" 2 hours since the post started you could have drove, walked, took a bus, etc... and just gotten the egg you wanted and never even said anything to him (or tell him - whatever), unless you live more than 1 hour each way away from any store that sells these eggs. *not being a smarty pants, just saying :)

    The appropriate response is to go "ah damn, I wanted the creme not the caramel. Thanks anyway." then not eaten it, or eaten, or whatever the hell you want to do. I'll never understand why people have such a hard time with communication :P

    That's the horror of it all. Any kind. Brand doesn't matter. Even generic, store brand works. So long as it's chocolate ice cream with that hard ribbon of peanut butter running through it.

    You dig in to take a bite, but you want the right balance of peanut butter to chocolate. And oh no, there's too much peanut butter on the spoon. So you balance that out with more chocolate. Repeat. Repeat. Peanut butter begins to get scarce so you dig deeper to find what's been hiding in the corners...

    At the end it's you, an empty box, and shame. Sweet, delicious shame.
    Do not, I repeat DO NOT, ever even try one bite of Moose Tracks ice cream.

    I know o-^ It's more that this situation can happen a lot, and I was wondering what people's go-to response is.

    I'm on my 2nd marriage and my personal opinion is pick your battles.

    If there is something I REALLY want, I just get it myself. My husband means well but I think he has ADHD or something. He simply can't remember. 2 years ago his daughter drank all my coffee creamer, he got up at 6 and ran to store to buy me more and wouldn't you know he bought the wrong one?? How can he live with me for 8 eight years and NOT KNOW what creamer I drink ... that's how I thought at the time.

    Now approaching 10 years and I know his heart is in the right place but he just isn't gonna get some things right. My favorite flower is Lily. On 3 separate occasions including Valentine's LAST week... he bought me tulips. I could get upset bc he doesn't remember my favorite flower OR I can be happy that he took the time to go and buy me flowers ... *shrug*

    Said all that to say... maybe mention it in passing but it's a good possibility he'll screw it up again and if it is REALLY important to you to have something SPECIFIC... just get it yourself. :flowerforyou:

    Crack open the caramel egg. Smear a tantalizing bit of the caramel across your bare collarbone or decolletage (your choice). Lean over to your dear BF and whisper something sweetly seductive. Tremble a bit as he devours said caramel. You then purr into his ear "We should do that again with the creme eggs sometime." You will come home to 3 dozen Cadbury creme eggs tomorrow night. Problem solved.

    im not sure what emotion you should have regarding the number of replies.

    i am actually struggling with my own emotions regarding this thread at the moment.
    when i first read the OP i gave you the benefit of the doubt, and figured this thread was posted for some trolling fun.
    after your last couple responses, i'm beginning to think that you really do need advice on how to NOT EAT SOMETHING YOU DONT WANT.

    you are either an incredibly talented troll, or.......not.

    when he asked if you would like him to bring you anything and you told him a Cadbury egg, were you specific in the exact type of egg you wanted? If not, there's your problem. If so, then just casually explain the difference for future reference.

    this.
    my other half would have deffo come back with the same egg. but i love all types of milk chocolate so would have eaten it anyway.
    if you dont like the one he bought just done have it and explain it was the wrong one. should nt be a prob.
