99 Problems

[Cold]

And a lack of Flakes is one of them.

Ice cream vendors are reporting a dire shortage of the crumbly chocolate goodness sticks. This could be serious.

I always knew that Boris/Brexit/Starmer/Covid/Trump/Biden/Israel/Suez etc would cause an international crisis and here's the proof!

To put things into perspective, every year on British roads we lose hundreds and thousands in accidents involving ice cream vans.

We have an ice cream van that comes in the summer. I am pretty sure the 99 flakes are not Cadbury.
They come out of a Cadbury box, and they look like a proper flake but they taste like dog chocolate LOL.

There is an obvious question here.

The ice cream toppers are half the size of the Flakes sold at newsagents and petrol station counters.

Do you have a sauce for that interesting fact?

They should switch to Twirls instead.

That's genuine Cadbury ever since the Americans got involved with it. You're right, it's about as close to being chocolate as the dog stuff is.

This is a crummy story.

My mate had an ice cream van, the police found him in it one night, unconscious, everything gone, covered in flakes, hundreds and thousands, strawberry and chocolate sauce...initially they thought it had been a violent robbery, but it turned out he had tried to top himself.....
