Title: It’s been a long time, did you miss me?
Post by: Bicerin on October 03, 2006, 02:40:48 am

Hi All (Lou, Kevvosa, Smurf)
I've been going to Italy for the last 10 years ever since i met my darling partner.
She comes from Turin. 
Her mum sent me a bottle of chocolate liqueur one Xmas called Bicerin di Gianduiotto and I fell in love with it straight away.
It tastes like a liquid Ferrero Rocher mixed with 15% alcohol.
Delecious!
It's great on ice cream, with panettonne and with coffee.
My favorite combination however is when it's mixed with spirits either rum,whiskey or vodka, beautiful at the end of a lovely meal.
I love this drink so much that now i've started to import it to the UK.
If you get the chance check it out.

I still didn't get my free sample Bicerin.

And that is exactly the same spiel you used last time.

No points for originality then. Could it be the Christmas season coming up that's made him/her rise to the surface again?

I would almost be tempted to try it if it wasn't for the person behind it!

Go on Smurfy.

All you have to do is "release the passion within"

But if the free samples don't arrive, it doesn't bode well for the orders...

Well Bicerin says it is delecious.

Is that a posh way of saying it?

I see Bicerin has tried the same sales tactic on other forums:

He's too tight to do some proper marketing.

Well at least there's hope for the Loulouzipan then

But you have to plant the acorns first (i.e. send out the samples you promised!)

It's such a shame because Bicerin (despite the dodgy name) sounds nice. But I'm not gonna fork out over 15 quid for something I have never tasted before.
