Strawberry Revels replace Coffee Revels - the world has gone mad. Vote for your favourite here

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

First the Jonathan and Russell fiasco, now further evidence that the world has gone stark raving bonkers.

After eating healthy for a few days now I decided I deserved a treat in the form of a little bit of chocolate to ease my craving. So I headed to the shop, picked up a bag of my favourite chocolates - Revels, and proceeded to wolf them down like they were the last sweeties on earth. A couple of mouthfuls later I noticed an odd, unexpected taste that I couldn’t quite identify. It was pretty unpleasant, so I looked a bit closer at the packet to see if they were out of date. I wish they had been, as to my horror I noticed the “new sweets” flash on the packet (see pic above) along with a note that coffee had been “evicted” - due to some stupid marketing promotion - and was now replaced by a mystery flavour. So I bit the remaining Revels in half until I saw the culprit, a red Revel! Strawberry! Yuk!!!

Now I like strawberry creams when you get them in boxes of Cadbury Roses etc, but the strawberry Revels are plain disgusting, horrid, rank, rancid and minging - all combined.

I’m gutted. Revels are my favourite sweets ever, I even put up with the horrible toffee ones because the others are so lush. But alas I can not buy any more Revels as the strawberry ones are just disgusting beyond words. I’m very sad.

On the plus side, the rumour is that coffee will make a (very) welcome return in the near future. Not soon enough, in my opinion. I’m going to have to switch to Munchies until that time.

The question is, which do you prefer? Coffee or strawberry. Please vote below and tell everyone you know too! I can’t be the only fan of coffee Revels out there can I?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll.

What I’m listening to right now: De La Soul - “3 Feet High and Rising” - best hip-hop album in the world ever?

Google’s shopping cart gets some upgrades

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

It looks like Google’s shopping cart got some upgrades this week. Google introduced their cart about 6 months ago and just added some new features this week.

The cart quickly integrates into your website and allows your customers to checkout through Google checkout. The cart is now a little more advanced, and stays on your website.

This should still be an easy means of adding a simple cart to a website. It is still limited by the fact Google Checkout is the only supported payment method, but it should suffice for smaller requirements and merchants that don′t want to use Paypal or a traditional merchant account.

Google Cart Links:
