Advantages: wondeful intense dark chocolate and chewy toffee Disadvantages: may be too strong for some
Who says that adverts don't work? I am sure that we all remember adverts for countless products. Alas I am sure that the point of adverts is to get us to buy the product and not remember the actual advert (we just have to remember to buy it that's all). So how come I can remember the adverts better than the products?
Take Riesen for example. I can remember the adverts, various people doing ordinary things and eating Riesen or some such nonsense. And I am certain that I tried Riesen but I couldn't remember much about them. I think I might have liked them but all I can remember is people eating Riesen while sitting in a car. Very bizarre (ooh it rhymes).
So while taking advantage of a 5 for £1 deal (thank you Farm Foods) I took the opportunity to revisit Riesen. You can buy Riesen in bags or in little 45gram packets (the ...

Riesen consists of three small rectangle portions of chocolate toffee wrapped in a thin layer of...more chocolate! Mmmmm, you might think. You can never have enough of the creamy, smooth and moorish chocolate flavour. That UK perception of how chocolate should be is perhaps the problem that leads Riesen to fail. Riesen's chocolate is neither smooth, creamy nor moorish. Riesen is made from the rather bland variety of chocolate that is more common in other parts of europe. I guess it just doesn't feel at home on a UK tongue.
Price
30p is refreshingly cheap compared to other chocolate products. Sadly this is the only exciting thing about Riesen.
Packaging
The packaging is a simple design with yellow text placed in the middle of a sea of brown. It is a good representation of the product therein - boring.

Advantages: Great if you do not have long hair Disadvantages: Turbine head traps long hair
I rate dysons very highly but was extremely disappointed with this new model with the turbine head.
Yes it does pick up fine hairs with ease. However, on the opposite end of the scale the turbine head traps long hair. If you have thick, strong, long black hair like me with a high turnover, it renders the turbine head useless. After a few rooms I have to stop and cut the mass of trapped hair with scissors to prevent the machine overheating.
I have tried turning the turbine head off (which is recommended on wooden floors). However I have carpeted floors and the turbine head is next to useless at picking up hair without the turbine.
I have emailed dyson just now because what I need is the DC23 allergy floor tool. In effect I need to turn my DC23 animal into a DC23 allergy at a considerable expense.
In summary, I wish I had ...
