I'm glad to hear/read that! If it's an European law, than Portugal must apply it aswell... I really dislike when advertisers lie (too much) and I am glad that, slowly, the consumers are winning this fight :) That said, I really love Kinder!! I use it as an incentive for studying (if I finish the chapter, I can eat one bar), but it doesn't help me grow or learn better, just finishing the tasks :P
As Sabi says we do have that product here in Portugal. That slogan allways bugs with me! :P Unlike Sabi, I don't like kinder it's too sweet. My daughter likes it because of the treat inside. That said, I don't give it to her often!
Oh my! I agree with everything you've written. At home we adhere to the rule that a piece of chocolate is good once in a while - if we don't my two energetic children will bounce off the walls. Just like papgena's, my children love kinder for the treat and leave the eggs aside so we stopped buying them. Ahem, a confession. The above mentioned rule doesn't apply for mom (me!). When I get this craving for a chocolate, there isn't a force in the world that would stop me have one! My hips are a living truth of what I say!:)-
i'm sorry, ladies... i certainly had no intention of suggesting that i can resist eating junk food all the time. i eat more than i should, but the difference from many italians is that at least i recognize the fact that it's junk food and don't try to pass it off as healthy! and i do try to limit our household intake.
@sabi: i've never seen tv in portugal, but apparently the adverts aren't much different from here!
@papgena: i agree, i think kinder is way too sweet too, but my daughter loves it!
@maya: lol! i'm not normally a huge chocolate fan, but i've been eating tons during this pregnancy. except i always hide in another room so my daughter can't see me and ask for some too!
The title of this blog is a bilingual play on words that probably nobody will ever get, so I may as well just explain it. The cuci cuci part is up to interpretation, either from CUCIre (sew) and CUCInare (cook) or the command "Sew, sew!" You pronounce cuci "COO-chee," so I added the English coo to make it what you say to babies while tickling them: "Coochie coochie coo!"
