A Curly Solution To A Curly Problem

What’s the deal with chocolate bars in Australia? Isn’t there anyone else out there a little concerned that we are paying up to $2 for the sensual delights of a Cadbury Whip? $2.20 if we go to a 7 Eleven! In the UK you’ll pay on average 40p for a chocolate bar, this converts to around $1.00 - $1.10, but in relative terms is really only 80 cents. As someone who tends to enjoy the occasional (read: frequent) chocolate bar I am finding the excessive prices of my favourite snacking treat quite disturbing.
However, luckily for me I have found a solution. The Curly-Wurly. Whilst other bars seem to have either become precious metals or subjected to Zimbabwean inflation, the Curly-Wurly has remained steady at a reasonable 59 cents (Coles price).


To me, the Curly-Wurly is the ultimate chocolate bar. Its creamy chocolate goodness surrounds its chewy caramel wires providing one with a wonderfully delectable snack. But it's a snack that, most importantly, won’t spoil your dinner. You know how it is, you’re going out to dinner with family or friends and the scheduled arrival time is still an hour away, but you are STARVING. You feel like a Snickers, but you know that a Snickers is just far too filling. This is a major problem for me, especially when I go to Indian restaurants, I find myself struggling to get through more than half of my Channa Masala. Occasionally this is just because my eyes have been too big for my belly (do you really need TWO garlic naans, Grant?), but frequently it has been because I was too hungry to wait that hour until I arrived at the restaurant and indulged myself in some chocolaty treat. This is where the Culry-Wurly comes in. It’s substantial enough to take the edge off those hunger pangs, but light enough not to spoil your appetite, but the best part is for only 59 cents it won’t hurt your wallet!
