Title: FLAKE V RIPPLE
Post by: loulou on March 10, 2005, 09:41:28 am

Had a ripple last night and I think the taste is good but the texture not so I still prefer flake over ripple.

It's hard to decide. I think I prefer Ripple. Don't know why. I prefer the Ripple taste but Flake texture.

 I agree with you Lou.


I find Ripple (like all Galaxy choc) tastes nice but kind of coats the inside of my mouth and so I prefer Flake.

Flake if it doesn't matter about getting those little bits down your top...and ripple if I have to be clean.


 


It is a tough decision. So similar yet so different...

I like the flakiness

I'm not too keen on the dry Flake taste to be honest. I dunno how they make it that way

The texture of flake is a it's main strength and the cadbury taste and the way it lines your mouth is wonderful.  Ripple is OK but a good two points behind.

You are right again. I would say why rather than how.


Ripple is king.

I like to dunk a Twirl in my hot chocolate. It doesn't work well with Ripple.

Flake Dipped was such a pointless invention - it's the same as a Twirl to all intents and purposes, and somehow not as nice.
Title: FLAKE V RIPPLE
Post by: chocolate chick on March 14, 2005, 03:24:20 pm

Think flake appeals to more people?

Title: FLAKE V RIPPLE
Post by: smurfboy on March 14, 2005, 04:30:00 pm
Maybe - or maybe Cadbury thought they'd make some extra cash by launching something 'new' without doing any extra work...

Post by: kevvosa on March 14, 2005, 08:01:01 pm
But doesnt it make it less messy? I think thats the intent of it.


Title: FLAKE V RIPPLE
Post by: chocolate chick on March 15, 2005, 10:24:10 am
Thats also a vaild point. Comparing a Twirl and a Flake Dipped...would you get more chocolate with the Twirl?

I would say so myself but I'm not sure.

Funnily enough they had both Flake Dipped and Twirl as part of a five for £1 deal in Latifs yesterday, so I thought I'd try a Dipped to see if I was doing it a disservice. Then it occured to me I was paying the same price for one finger of flake as I was for two of Twirl.

I think the Flake Dipped is longer and a little thicker, but all in all I think there is more chocolate with the Twirl?

Also with a Twirl, I can eat one bar and save the other for later.


In fact yesterday, I saved it for a whole two minutes later

I like Twirls as much as I like Flakes..A million times more than a Ripple.
