[QUOTE="Norfolkmell, post: 2167425, member: 306528"] Growing up in Kenya we didn't have much chocolate although one Christmas Daddy found a tin of Black Magic in Nairobi. He brought it back to Mombasa hidden in his luggage and gave it to Mummy for Christmas. She opened it and found each piece had a dusting of white on top. We were all a bit gutted as we thought it had gone off, this was well before best before dates. She sent the tin and contents back to Cadburys/Rowntree whoever with her complaint. Eventually a large parcel came home with Daddy one day from the manufacturer. Mummy hurriedly opened it to find 12 tins of Black Magic, she opened a tin and said that they were all still mouldy and was rather upset. Daddy then read it he accompanying letter which explained that the white was a special tasteless cover they put on their tropical exports to stop them from melting into a sludge on the journey and on the shelf. The first tin was demolished between the four of us before we went to bed that night after deciding that we would open one of the remaining tins at the end of each month, however I think the lot had gone by April! :smug: [/QUOTE]
