Eons ago, I asked Cadbury the same thing. They said they modified the recipes for each region's "distinctive tastes". I told them we already had enough Hershey's bars, we wanted beautiful Cadbury milk chocolate. They said that's the way it is. It's all about the money.

Me too! My mom is from Ireland as well and we have hated the Hershey version of Cadbury candy for years. If someone doesn't make a yearly run to Ireland, we get so depressed. For a while we were able to get Cadbury, Yorkies, Aeros, Smarties, etc at Cost Plus. But then we discovered they were importing these candies…

I agree! Why pay someone for her fame to sell magazines then make her unrecognizable? A number of times I've had to look twice at covers because they've changed the faces and bodies of the celebrities on the covers.

There may be some thing or someone outside that the cat is afraid of. That might be why he doesn't want to go out. It can also change his indoor litterbox behavior. Example: we got a large plastic owl with a solar moving head to scare the squirrels who had taken over the side of our house. We moved the owl every…

I sat through Womb because I love Matt Smith. So good or bad, I'll be sitting through this.

I'm a little confused. She looks 50. She doesn't have a lot of wrinkles, but the other signs of aging are there. Nothing wrong with looking your age; I know I do. But to give up smiling for this? That means no laughing either. No showing the people you love the joy and happiness they bring you? No spreading said…

Awww, Rebecca, sorry to see you go. You're one of my favorite Jezebel writers. (And this is one of my top 3 interweb sites.) I will miss you here. I've never thought of looking at Cosmo, but I will when you get there. I wish you all the best.

I love this. Thank you. I'm running to Sephora this week to check out the Noir eyeliner and Makeup Forever concealer. I think I will be a makeup "girl" forever.

Thank you! I'm ordering this today.

The cat reminds me of when my kids were little. I could not leave them alone in a room or car with a lip smacker. They would eat most of it, put the cap back on and feign surprise when I'd open it and shriek. The thought still turns my stomach. But they've gotten older and I still love my cotton candy lip…

Love your response, cocopop. At a certain age, it's impossible to look 20 again. No matter what you do, your decades are going to show. Like you, rather than fight it, I try to be strong and healthy. And if once in a while the sun damage and the few extra pounds don't show, I'm happy. Johnny's doing fine. I'm…

While I don't think she's as unbearably awful as he is, they do kind of work together. On the surface, they seem to deserve each other. And if he could help Martha feel like the 'nice' one, it could be a good thing.

Kind of like a gang?

I don't know about the queen, but I like a good bristle boot scraper. It's saved me plenty time cleaning mud off the floors. But then I doubt if the queen has cleaned much mud off the floors in her day.

He looks like my Aunt Pat in that picture.

Good points—and they need to fix their online and mobile apps. Many of the online gluten free recipes are regular recipes, except they put an asterisk saying to replace the bread or pasta with gf options, then recalculate the points. Not too helpful. Some parts of the website are not working after the revamp, and…

I live in a part of northern California where it's "white people" Chinese food. Panda Express, anyone? We come from the Bay Area part of California where we could get pretty authentic, and wonderful tasting Chinese food. So even though I'm not much of a cook, I learned how to make some basic dishes. Surprisingly,…

I gather bananas are going the way of the dodo, so you might want to diversify. Dipped strawberries?

I had great hopes for yahoo when she started. I like a strong woman with new ideas taking over. I picked yahoo as my mail choice back in 1996 or 1997. I was hoping she'd upgrade the service. I also use yahoo as a portal page, but the mail has become unreliable and slow. I work as a contractor and need to be able…

So true. Everyone panics before kids, women and men. It's "more real" for women because we're actually growing the child (or filling out the bulk of the paperwork for adoption), but the guys get onboard when presented with an actual child. If they're both grownups, it'll be great when the baby shows up.
