Further biscuit supplies

[davidn]

Having been in sore need of some familiar comforts recently, I was amazed when this parcel arrived from my parents in addition to the Christmas presents that we knew they were sending over. It felt a lot heavier than it looked, because it was crammed to the brim with these:


These were added to the Fox range (terrible news channel - great biscuits, though) at some point in the last couple of years, and they're made of some sort of honeycomb-like substance with chocolate spread on one side. They, like most of their biscuits, are absolutely wonderful - and unlike the Creams, these ones have the added bonus that my weird friends can't make any dirty jokes about their name.

I'm never sure when you're kidding any more.

I'm a bit quiet about it because the "community" is obsessive and also apparently has it way worse than I do anyway (I don't have instant panic attacks/skin-on-fire sensation/nausea/whatever it is these people claim) but offending images and such are a bit unnerving.

I know what you mean about the line between "having it" and "having it bad"; I have a bit of the phobia of mouth/chewing sounds, but I'm good at just forcing myself not to think about it so it's never really a problem (I think to some extent, "problematic" phobias are just ones where the sufferer has let it turn into a feedback loop where their anticipatory fear is even bigger than the fear itself, and it turns into a panic trigger.. so it's kinda two problems at once)..

I guess the really odd thing is, I've always adored all the things on that list of what sets trypophobes off; in fact, Crunchie bars (or at least the Canadian ones) tend to taste rather bitter, as though someone did a poor job adapting a good recipe to use inferior ingredients (which is often the case with canadian versions of european candies, alas), but I've always adored it just for that texture.

I feel like this is an interesting potential conversation, but I'm not sure if it's one you'd want to have, let alone whether David's poor journal is the place for it :P

David's poor journal is the best place for everything.

Once again I'm not quite sure how we got to here from biscuits, even when ascending back through the thread.

[kjorteo]

My job here is done!

My journal has certainly become a lot more... interesting in the last few years, and that's very little to do with any content that I put into it myself ;)

Are you saying you like the bubbled look of it, or the feel that that results in in the mouth (as long as it doesn't make too much noise)?

[ravenworks.livejournal.com]

Well, it's one and the same kind of experience. I generally like the feel of bubbly surfaces like that (whether on my finger or my tongue), and I like seeing them too because they remind me of that sensation.

So, wait a minute, are you bothered by speaker grilles? It's starting to dawn on me exactly how many things there are that are covered in tiny holes..

[kjorteo]

Hey I have an idea, how about, instead of taking this conversation down a "does this wig you out? What about that? What about those?" checklist path, we not do that.

[ravenworks.livejournal.com]

Right, sorry. :X

[kjorteo]

That's okay, Bulbasaur still loves you.
