> Flakes are famous for two reasons. One, the adverts. They used to show that eating a Flake is some sort of sexual experience that can only be matched by having an overflowing bubble bath and a lizard crawling on your telephone. The phone lizard is one of the most well-known images in advertising.

That's... a bit odd... O_o

> Two, the "99." The height of ice cream technology. Take a normal soft whippy ice cream in a cone, and then STICK A FLAKE IN IT. It was like a little Christmas every time.

Every single day I could when I was in England and we stopped for ice cream - which was often, because we got there in time for some lovely warm weather! - I would try and get one of those. :) Mmm, mmm, soft ice... somehow, even that isn't easily findable here, outside of McDonald's inferior version... and Flake. Mmm.

Speaking of McDonald's, another thing I noticed was that their chocolate shakes, in England, always tasted vaguely like Flake-ish chocolate, rather than the normal chocolate. That was odd, yet cool. (And the presence of yummy veggieburgers at McDonald's is also odd yet cool.)

Sosi"someone moved my Flake stash and I can't find it *sniff*"qui
