You’re probably not getting enough ammonia in your life. I like the cream rock they do with salmiakki crystals on the outside. You can also get salmiakki choc-ices in Finland.

Might as well just get a big chocolate bar. Usually neck the whole thing immediately anyway because I have the self control of an untrained puppy, so.

At the age of 11 my parents stopped getting us advent calendars because “we were too old for them”.

Haven’t had one since.

One of my most shameful childhood memories is hiding in my room eating advent calendar chocolates from future days.

You’re a big boy now, Geoff, you can buy one if you want!

I’ve just never bothered. Bought my wife one yesterday though but she always forgets to eat them so bangs a week’s worth down on a Sunday evening. I fail to see the point. Although I do love Christmas so anyone getting firmly stuck in with what gives them yuletide glee is fine by me.

There’s quite a lot going on in this story.

Well liquorice is a laxative …

Buying one for your wife every year counts as having an advent calendar, really, I think.

So many twists.

By opening the bottom of the calendar and sliding the plastic tray out, so the doors stay shut?

I had a friend whose parents would buy her and her bro 1 chocolate advent calendar to share, and they’d have alternating days to make them “learn to share”.

#22

We don’t share it! Although we have one in the house so technically I do I suppose.

I don’t think I was even that subtle. The only other detail of the incident I can clearly remember is that I was wearing my SuperTed pyjamas at the time.

You have that Doppel Zout one as well, don’t you, for when the other brands are just too sweet?

Got my husband a light-up Star Wars advent calendar this year (he’s 29). He’s never had a chocolate one, his nan always used to get him card ones, I didn’t even know they existed.

Once when my Argentinian grandma was over for Christmas, she saw me eating my advent calendar chocolate and asked me if she could have one, I guess they don’t have them over there? Anyway it was one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make as a kid (I gave her the Christmas Eve chocolate after a few moments of deliberation)

Got 2 x Dairy Milk calendars.

The woman also has 2. Because she’s trying to be good and diety, I’m hoping I may gain from her having multiple chocolate calendars.
