Bassett's Allsorts

I always knew there were other people in the world who liked Allsorts; I assumed I had just never met any of them. Well, now there’s proof. A livejournal user has written a saga about her father’s obsession with, disappointment in, and subsequent harassment of Cadbury Bassett and their Liquorice Allsorts.

It’s a hilarious read as an otherwise logical and stately engineer battles with righteous indignation against those whom he perceives are perpetrators of the horrible crime of tampering with his precious Allsorts. I actually laughed out loud. Multiple times. What’s sad is that I can totally see myself doing all the same things he did!

    This reminds me of my mother, who in 1972 sent a letter to the makers of Eskimo Pie ice cream treats, she had an very unsatisfactory dessert. They replied back to her, with a coupon for two complimentary Eskimo Pies for her and a friend. She kept the letter, the foil sleeves and the sticks in her memory book, which I still have.
    Your father is doing good work Em! Good luck with his job hunt.
