'Energy!!!'

Strengths:
Lightweight... yeah yeah whatever... It is as full of energy as anything else I can find. When doing the coast to coast walk one looks at the energy content, and Yorkie's came up trumps.

Weaknesses:
Um... if you don't like chocolate then your stuffed... only 6 segments so you share a couple, and you've not got much left...?

Overall:
Brilliant snack food, for on the trail. And a tip, on a cold day pop one in your trouser pocket, and try to forget it until near the end of the day. Allow it about and hour to reform, and you will have a solid lump of chocolate. It seems to taste better that way... was brilliant at the Lion Inn.

'MMMMMMMM CHOCOLATE!'

Strengths:
Loadsa energy, tastes nice, excellent VFM, fits in the top pocket of my daysac rather nicely, individually wrapped. Chunky. The 'It's not for girls' advertising campaign makes it a manly chocolate bar.

Weaknesses:
mmmmm, they melt when out in summer, don't do much for your teeth. Sorry ladies, I don't believe everything I see in adverts, but this chocolate bar is not for you!!

Overall:
A fine snack. However, I have to say that the raison & biscuit Yorkie is more to my liking!

'YUK'

Strengths:
Good at removing unwanted teeth.

Weaknesses:
It's a bar of coagulated yak poo, soggy and messy when warm, tooth-breakingly hard when cold. The same colour as a medium rawl-plug and slightly less nutritious.

Overall:
It's not chocolate, it's barely chocolate-flavoured, and it will probably rot your guts.

'IT'S NOT FOR GIRLS!!'

Strengths:
Full of sugar to pick you up again Decent price

Weaknesses:
not the healthiest snack out on the trail, it can melt, has some top secret additives that keep me wanting more

Overall:
a chocholate bar take it or leave it. I like it other say it tastes of poo, strange how they know what poo tastes like though.

'IT'S NOT FOR ME, AND GIRLS CAN DO BETTER AS WELL'

Strengths:
Easily available;
There's some cocoa mass in there somewhere...

Weaknesses:
...but like most British chocolate, not very much cocoa mass;
in very cold conditions it's like a brick;
in very hot conditions it, errr, isn't like a brick.

Overall:
Presumably it isn't for girls, a group noted for a love of chocolate, because they're discerning enough about the stuff to prefer much higher percentages of cocoa mass than mass market British chocolate has... It costs more, but Green & Blacks is a simple case study of How It Should Be Done if it's chocolate you want, and if you just want something sweet with loads of carbs that is less affected by temperature extremes then a block of marzipan is better. Or an apple, etc.

'NOT FOR GIRLS?! MY AR*E'

Strengths:
More chocolate than found in the average chocolat bar and not too much extra cost. Nicer than cadburys which just tastes like oil in my opinion (not surprising with the amount ov veg oil in there) and not as sickly as galaxy... and they bought out a limited edition version for girls, complete in a bright pink wrapper!

Weaknesses:
its not as healthy as an apple

Overall:
gimme more, more, more!!!
