Day 1
20.38 Trubble buys a jar of Horlicks. She is slightly shocked by the vegetable fat listed on the ingredient list.
22.00 She tentatively places the jar beside the cooker.
23.19 She switches on 'Brewster McCloud' (TCM).

Watch you don't start eating it raw - I actually think it tastes nicer that way. Oh, a bit of rum goes well with it too! Or whisky! .........but I'm not allowed whisky  |

The chance of me eating it raw is very slim. It is weetabix in liquid form. Or maybe Ready-Brek.
Why didn't someone warn me?
It's the most disgusting thing on the planet.

Oh dear, is now the wrong time to mention that as well as ginormous jars it also comes in small one serving sachets, so that you can try a sample first?

Yes. It is.
I am going to persuade my offspring that Horlicks is yummy.

I quite like Horlicks but haven't had any in aeons. Marmite I can't stand, same with Twiglets. Dr Pepper is another "love or hate" drink that I think is very nice but you can't get them in large bottles over here, the heathens! |

My friend's dad used to work in a factory where they made those little chocolate mini-rolls, like swiss rolls - some occasionally rolled off the back of a lorry towards us. Yum. |

Twiglets - fairly useless but not offensive. Dr Pepper - I don't think I've ever tried it. Should I try Dr Pepper?  |

Horlicks is malt, Malteasers are malt, ergo, they taste much the same. And the little Horlicks sweets were ace, I used to buy them. AH |

Well, the clever people at the Maltesers factory have added something nice to the malt, haven't they!? If only Mr Horlicks had thought of that..

You can't improve on perfection...Horlicks was known as "the necter of the Gods" in the ancient world - FACT!

Well? Have you finished yet? Or have you found a new feed for the houseplants? I have taken the Horlicks into protective custody, I will not stand by and see a tub of Horlicks left in an abusive home! Trubbs was a bit shocked when my enforcement squad popped a few tear gas cannisters through her window and kicked her door down at 4am. I don't think she was too pleased with us waving MP5 sub-machine guns around her kitchen and screaming "wheres the ****ing Horlicks Abdul" either, but robust action had to be taken. AH |
