Crunchie Bar Vs The Death Ray

I don't usually talk about the dreams I have but I thought I would with this one as I burst out laughing the moment I woke up.

In my dream the Japanese had developed a green death ray and had been doing all kinds of naughty things with it. I don't think the fact that they were Japanese is significant in any way, it's more that I've been reading Stephen Fry's Making History in which the world (like in 1984) is divided into power blocks.

Anyway, I was in a laboratory and was under attack from a single Japanese man who looked remarkably similar to someone I knew a few years ago. I could see in his eyes that he was intent on destroying me with his green death ray but luckily I had something that would protect me.

Me: Did you really think you could destroy me with that?! The Americans have developed something that will deflect your death ray. I have a Crunchie bar, you fool!

And with that I brandished my Crunchie bar, deflected the death rays he was firing at me, walked up to him and knocked his ray gun to the floor thereby saving the day.

For those of you unfamiliar with sweet, sticky chocolate bars, a Crunchie bar is  a milk-chocolate-covered honeycomb toffee made by Cadbury. Quite why that would save me I have no idea. In real life there are very few situations in which a Crunchie bar could be used in defence. Maybe to buy time whilst seeking to flee from bears, perhaps but that's probably about it.

Needless to say, you can't buy them in Poland. I wish you could. Look at it! It's gorgeous!



I do hope there's no hidden meaning in my dream.

Im sad my comments keep getting eaten, I think I am inbred and I dont hit save or the like.

Either way I bemoaned my Crunchie less state and compared myself to the kid who forgets everything they want for Christmas and then pees on Santa's lap. (well more or less, I forgot to ask my parents to bring them!

:-P

Enjoy your trip! Nature is needed!!! Im off the the Schwarzwald with my parents.

Hope you had a nice trip . I did nothing and am only mildly ashamed of myself:) Crunchies. Something I miss about home. Can you get them here? Maybe start an export business?

I love Crunchies. I also love the honeycomb ice cream you can buy in my local eatery (think chunks of Crunchie minus the chocolate in vanilla ice cream) Yum :)

Nigella Lawson also demonstrated how to make Cinder Toffee (Crunchie insides) on TV the other night. It takes about 5 minutes to make - must have a go....
