I prefer Galaxy Ripple to Flake. I just used the Flake theme song lyrics because I thought they would make a good post title. Also, of all the ice-cream-that-began-as-a-chocolate-bar possibilities, I would choose the joy that is the Mars ice cream. Maybe because it's the first ice-cream-that-began-as-a-chocolate-bar that I ever came across. I have posed the same dilemma to people from the U.S. on Yahoo games, and they have told me it's the only one they have! I don't know if this is true, but if it is, I think it is rather sorrowful. Imagine never having had a Cornetto! I suppose the advantage of not having Cornettos would be the ability to avoid those annoying "Cornetto Love Potions" adverts: "I'm a man, surprise surprise. Give me Cornetto and I won't tell the guys" etc, waah they're sooo bad! But not as bad as the "You're someone very special" sickly-grandpa/sickly-grandson Werther's Original advert. Although I suppose the WO advert is at least rather amusing. Have I just filled a very large paragraph just babbling about chocolate products?
I love Knightmare in case you haven't guessed. It's fun watching programmes from my childhood - I wish I could watch "Through the Dragon's Eye" again - that was high quality entertainment. All I remember is Morris, Doris and Boris who were people dressed and made up in green, purple and orange respectively, and the episode where for some reason Boris ended up as an orange puddle on the floor and the trauma I experienced upon seeing this. Why do children's programme makers delight in producing deep emotional scars in their viewers?

I used to /love/ Through The Dragons Eye. The dragon was called Gorwyn I think and they were trying to save Pelamar by re-constructing the pieces of the Pentacore! If I remember they ended up in a puddle because some evil man who resembled a human bird (who's name I can't remember) did it to them.
Also I am tres annoyed because I finally found Knightmare on challenge (bless the fashion sense of kids in those days!) and it was the last in the series :*( Is it still on at all on cable, I /need/ to know.
Also the worst Cornetto love potion advert is the one where the young woman goes to the old man:
"New Walls Cornetto
Let me be frank
Give me Cornetto
And you'll get a spank."
Sooooo wrong!

Wow you've got a good memory! As you now probably know, Knightmare is on again on Challenge, Series 4 this time. And they've stopped repeating it at 1:55 ish which is annoying to me. But Pickle's back, and the graphics are so much better this series, so it's not all bad. I think all the Cornetto adverts are bad - the "I'm a man" one was the first one I saw so it infuriated me more though. Hehe I love Knightmare!
