Buttersnap

Those of a certain age will recognise the original name for the Daim Bar. The 'Buttersnap'

Have 'had' to pop to IKEA (other annoying self build furniture providers are probably available) this evening to get a catalogue for @carole_sandford. Where are they located in Bristol? By the tills.

Which meant I had to walk the entire shop, following the annoying arrows on the floor, fast, but still found myself picking up a catalogue, at the tills with a yellow bag containing the following items I most certainly did not go there for.

2 boxes of AA batteries
2 boxes of AAA batteries
3 shower scrunchies
1 shower squeegie
1 box of 6 drinks glasses
2 bags of Daim Bars

I tell you, IKEA is dangerous.

(Well, okay, maybe I knew I'd get Daim Bars) 😜

Are you sure you are a guy? Guys walk in, get the item they are after and leave. Well they might buy the batteries, but squeegees and drinking glasses? I'm impressed!

I've goggled this Phil to try to jog my memory. Are they dime bar or are they something completely different. I just have a memory of harry Enfield adverts. Armadillo crunchy on the out side soft on the inside 😀😀

[Phil Sandford]

@paul10 Yup, Dime in the 90's but Buttersnap in the 70's

[Paul]

@phil_sandford. Ah, thanks for clearing that up mate 😊

[Phil Sandford]

@paul10 Either way, they're about the only thing worth visiting IKEA for 😊😊

[Casablanca]

Ha ha, Ikea is indeed a dodgy place!! But Daim bars are wonderful.......even worth braving Ikea for ;)

[Phil Sandford]

@casablanca My thoughts exactly 😜😜

[Sue Cooper]

I've never had a Daim Bar. I've clearly not lived!

[Phil Sandford]

@susiemc Indeed Sue, they are the only worthwhile reason for going to IKEA :-)
