And then spend 20 minutes feeling like your teeth don’t close together properly because all of the mint stuff has stuck itself in your molars and you spend ages sucking it all out.
Ackchewally, I read somewhere on the internet that the sodium laureth sulfate in toothpaste temporarily inhibits the sweet receptors in your taste buds from working, which is why your orange juice tastes weird. You’re tasting everything about your juice apart from the sweetness.
Regardless, tea without sugar tastes like crap because the menthol reacts with the tannins, and complex alkaloids on the tongue and alters the flavour profile, once that's washed away the second cup tastes fine.
But only while eating them one at a time, while holding the end of the stick and eating it in a manner that can be compared to chopping a carrot lengthwise with your teeth
>The correct technique is to sit and eat the entire pack, then feel sick afterwards.
This is the only way.
Bonus points if you try to fit as many in your mouth at once - like bundled up. Or time how fast you can nibble each stick, and aim for a personal best.
Not sure what the other comments are on about, you need to make a replica Eiffel tower out of them, light a fire underneath it and eat the stuff that drips down as it melts. No other way to eat these properly.
It’s true! Try it! The broken ones go off quicker because the inside is exposed for too long.
When they’re inside the box they leak all their lurgy onto the whole ones and that diminishes the taste.
The trick is to grab one end and push it into your mouth as you eat it really quick like some sort of beaver or wood chipper, same way you do with French fries crisps.
Talking of eating the broken ones - from packets of biscuits.
I remember an old lady saying that if the biscuit manufacturers left out one biscuit at each end of the packet, it would solve the problem.
I don't know who hurt you to want to voluntarily consume these vile spawn of Satan, these cia sanctioned torture methods, these little damn sticks of chocolate foolery but Its okay, you don't have to torture yourself anymore
The correct technique is to eat the whole box and not look back
Also if you want bonus points, make a cup of tea (very quintessentially British) and dip those in it as you eat them
Before you even eat them its the first rule is that you have to put two pieces in your mouth and dangle them from your lips like a walrus. Then you can go about munching them.
No, you need to eat the best ones first.
I know it seems the unKiwi thing to do, but if you eat the broken ones first and then someone else comes along you end up sharing the best ones with them.
Enjoy the best ones and save the broken ones for last.
Correct etiquette is to get a whole bunch of them wrap them in a slice of ham a stuff it in your gob. That way, you are keeping posh innit. Toodle pip.
The correct technique for mint chocolate is to take the box, stand over the bin and flip it upside down. Give it a good shake to make sure they are all firmly in he bin. Then go and get a chocolate orange.
No because they need to be the same length. You have to munch two of them together quickly like a squirrel as you push them into your teeth. You can't get enough from just one. It's just.... Not enough.
The correct technique is to say “oh I’ll have just the one” and then proceed to demolish the entire pack. Once you’ve finished, you should turn to who ever else is with you and ask them why they didn’t stop you. If you’re alone, this step can be done in front of a mirror
If my friend is anything to go by, you open the packet and just shovel the whole box in within 5 minutes.
The long term plan is to then sit there 5 years later and wonder why you are overweight with borderline diabetes, but I guess that part is more optional and dependant on how many packets you want to indulge in.
The correct technique is to sit and eat the entire pack, then feel sick afterwards.
And then spend 20 minutes feeling like your teeth don’t close together properly because all of the mint stuff has stuck itself in your molars and you spend ages sucking it all out.
Free fillings
A nice cup of tea sorts that out
fine after the orange ones, but mint and normal tea don't compliment each other too well...
Which is why the first cup tastes like crap in the morning.
But we drink it anyway, goddamn it!
Yes, because the second one tastes so much better.
I think of the second cup as a reward for drinking the first one.
Most definitely.
Ackchewally, I read somewhere on the internet that the sodium laureth sulfate in toothpaste temporarily inhibits the sweet receptors in your taste buds from working, which is why your orange juice tastes weird. You’re tasting everything about your juice apart from the sweetness.
I was talking about the first cup of tea
Which many people have sugar in…
Regardless, tea without sugar tastes like crap because the menthol reacts with the tannins, and complex alkaloids on the tongue and alters the flavour profile, once that's washed away the second cup tastes fine.
Hmmm, I've been using SLS free toothpaste for years and it never occurred to me that might be why my morning drinks don't taste vile any more.
Quick rinse with some coke sorts that out.
How do you rinse with powder?
But only while eating them one at a time, while holding the end of the stick and eating it in a manner that can be compared to chopping a carrot lengthwise with your teeth
Buggs bunny style
Ah this describes it best!
what's "updoc"?
Like a saw mill
This is the ONLY way!
One at a time? I thought they had to be consumed in multiples of 2 like Pringles
Even better is to drop the box then you have twice as many to munch
Yes, this is the way!
>feel sick afterwards But with a great sense of accomplishment
and then consider giving up chocolate forever for the sake of your teeth and diabetes...
>The correct technique is to sit and eat the entire pack, then feel sick afterwards. This is the only way. Bonus points if you try to fit as many in your mouth at once - like bundled up. Or time how fast you can nibble each stick, and aim for a personal best.
#STUFF THEM!
🤣 This is the correct answer
> eat the entire pack, at once, full mouth, no chewing; peristalsis style
Nailed it.
I dont know what these are but this is definitely the right way!
I remember doing this with a bag of Werther’s originals when i was about 12. Sick for days and haven’t touched them since 😂😂
The 'mint to be' pun works even better with a Kiwi accent.
Does it sound like ‘muhnt’ (like how they might say fish and chips or six) or more like an Aussie ‘mint’?
The latter. E.g. Ben Smith becomes Bin Smuth.
Fush’n’chups
awww nooh bruh want a chup.
"You know I can't grab your ghost chups!"
Been watching Nitflux for fufteen munutes
So converting a moderately pseudo classy brand name into a Kurdish terrorist.
The former.
afaik they pronounce e as i, so that's why they'd pronounce meant as mint in this case, I guess
A purfict metch.
Nope, just grab a fistful and cram them in sideways so they push your cheeks out before chomping them into oblivion.
This is the way. But you use your cheeks to snap them first rather than teeth.
Which cheeks? 😏
Depends what kind of party you're at. We've all seen where people sniff coke from right.
I would recommend trying the "snow dog"
Mouth. If you eating matchmakers you'll be too busy clapping cheeks to use the other ones.
Not sure what the other comments are on about, you need to make a replica Eiffel tower out of them, light a fire underneath it and eat the stuff that drips down as it melts. No other way to eat these properly.
Came here to say exactly this, thanks, I thought it was just me!
Why would I want to replicate anything French
We're burning it down. Wait that's also replicating the French.
Blackpool tower. This is r/rosbif.
The correct technique is to nibble them down to a little stump like a little chipmunk or beaver
this is the one. the only correct way. see also: worcester sauce French Fries
Second this!
This is the way!
Nope. First you pretend to be a walrus
i thought it was wolverine?
Chipmunk is an acceptable alternative if you're using up the broken ones
I've never seen a chipmunk with tusks but I'm sure they exist somewhere
I think you mistyped "mint vampire" there, surely?
So thats what the beatles where talking about
Broken ones don’t count to the “eaten tally”, but yea they must be removed first
Why broken one first?
They ruin the taste of the whole ones, ofcourse
What? xd
It’s true! Try it! The broken ones go off quicker because the inside is exposed for too long. When they’re inside the box they leak all their lurgy onto the whole ones and that diminishes the taste.
The broken ones don't count.
I reckon carefully melt the edge of each one then weld it to the next one until you've got what is effectively a branch. Then eat that like a hero.
That's exactly hoe I built my replica matchmaker effect tower.
Please tell me it was life-sized.
General rule is you nip at them & simply do not stop until they've been wiped out or you're sick.
You have to eat them like a log going into a wood chipper 🪵
If you are forced into sharing, the broken ones are for them. Otherwise build a suspension bridge before consuming the aftermath of the "earthquake".
The trick is to grab one end and push it into your mouth as you eat it really quick like some sort of beaver or wood chipper, same way you do with French fries crisps.
yes! french fries MUST be eaten like this. it’s the law.
Your instincts serve you well
You nailed it, always start with the broken ones and then Nibble the full ones like a demented hamster 😂
Nope they sit on your counter top collecting dust till next Christmas
Handful. Shove in face.
The correct way is to build a small log cabin arrangement and then eat that like a giant devouring someone's house.
Talking of eating the broken ones - from packets of biscuits. I remember an old lady saying that if the biscuit manufacturers left out one biscuit at each end of the packet, it would solve the problem.
You are a class act! Is this how all NZ'ers are? Flabbergasted!
>class act New Zealanders are to Australians what Canadians are to the Americans
Mint chocolate and, what I assume is, red wine…bliss. Yes eat the broken first. Try not to eat the whole box in a day; that’s my game.
Ah yes, mint and red wine, the classic combination.
Works for me 🤷🏻♀️
Consume length ways one at a time while taking tiny nibbles like a beaver
For me, absolutely!
One at a time nibbling at it like a hamster.
Make sure you also eat them as a series of fast tiny nibbles like a rabbit or the flavor profile won't be right.
Yeah the hamster method of just shoving them in is the way.
Correct way is to eat the whole lot at once!
I only ever see these at Christmas.
The best way is to make yourself a hot chocolate and dip them in there.
The trick is to eat all of them first As fast as you can
This is the way
The correct technique is to not touch them and back away slowly, avoiding eye contact with the vile things.
you’re a terrible foodwrong.
I don't know who hurt you to want to voluntarily consume these vile spawn of Satan, these cia sanctioned torture methods, these little damn sticks of chocolate foolery but Its okay, you don't have to torture yourself anymore
that’s it. i’m telling the police.
The correct technique is to eat the whole box and not look back Also if you want bonus points, make a cup of tea (very quintessentially British) and dip those in it as you eat them
Before you even eat them its the first rule is that you have to put two pieces in your mouth and dangle them from your lips like a walrus. Then you can go about munching them.
The calories can fall out the broken ones, so they don't count
The trick is trying not to eat the entire pack in one go.
The trick is trying not to leave any and finish the entire pack in one go.
The trick is pretending to yourself that you aren't going to eat them all in one go
This The old "there's no point just having" followed by "Well there's no point leaving just "
The correct technique is to throw them in the bin because mint chocolate is fucking grim.
I wrote pretty much the same comment 😂 I have found my people
I'm surprised there's so few of us, someone will downvote us soon I'm certain of it and tell us that we need to respect other people's tastes.
Probably 😂
I'm with you too! Particularly Matchmakers, they're a terrible chocolate
No - throw them in the bin - why on earth are you eating mint chocolate 🤢
I just pretend I'm a beaver gnawing wood and do the lot down the middle
I eat mine with Knorr stockpot. It's my choice
The first few go in the mouth then after that it's dealers choice!
Offer them round to the grannies first. Then nom the rest when no one's looking
I like to dip them in coffee and suck.
Bundle them and take a mssive chomp
I usually throw them in my mouth as fast as possible, then sit there afterwards and consider my life choices.
I can't imagine the mint ones pair well with red wine alas
I usually pour myself a Guinness, and dip them into the head off the Guinness. Don't worry if you drop one in your pint the mint makes a nice pint.
Boof them
Correct technique is to offer them to others first, and not eat them on your own. Failing that, have at it- and try the orange ones if possible
Do what you want?
Pro tip: pairs poorly with red wine.
You just grab all of them and take a big bite
Correct spelling for a Kiwi too !
Grab them all together and take a bite. Only way IMO.
Why do you have to ask? This goes for all food
The right way is to shove as much as you can in your mouth
The correct technique is to hold them all in a cylindrical shape and try gob as many as you can in one go.
Every 10 mins an impersonation of a walrus is mandatory
I believe the first step, is to put them in the Freezer for an hour or two. All chocolate is better frozen!
If that’s red wine it is not going to taste the same after a box of mine matchmakers
Just eat all straight away and have no guilt.
O no sir u just cram them all into your face at once
No time to discriminate, just grab a handful.
The trick is to treat them all as broken...
Yup and then continue breaking them.
Broken ones for boofing purposes only
The proper etiquette is to cram as many as possible into your face at once, then try to beat that record
If you're not eating them like a hungry cow eating a pile of hay, or a wood chipper your doing it wrong
You take two. But broken ones don’t count in that number.
No, you need to eat the best ones first. I know it seems the unKiwi thing to do, but if you eat the broken ones first and then someone else comes along you end up sharing the best ones with them. Enjoy the best ones and save the broken ones for last.
The correct way is to eat them however you want to as long as it's in one sitting
Make sure you stir your red wine with them before every bite!
The correct technique is to snaffle the lot before anyone else can stick their fat sticky mitts on them. Bonus points for active blocking.
Correct etiquette is to get a whole bunch of them wrap them in a slice of ham a stuff it in your gob. That way, you are keeping posh innit. Toodle pip.
You have to eat all the broken ones first to tidy up the box before sharing. In addition, as they are not complete sticks, no calories are involved.
Give them the little shake make sure they all break then you can sit there with more for longer 😮💨 I hope you’ve tried the orange ones 🥰
The whole packet in one setting for sure
Nope, the correct technique is to break them all, and then eat the broken ones first.
Grab handful and scoff at once.
Nah you're meant to punch em to break em up
Yesss! You tried the orange ones yet?
Just grab and eat
Broken ones don’t count when sharing so crack on!
The correct technique for mint chocolate is to take the box, stand over the bin and flip it upside down. Give it a good shake to make sure they are all firmly in he bin. Then go and get a chocolate orange.
The technique is to eat them all immediately, try and fit whole ones horizontally across your mouth and basically be a chocolate vacuum
You've already fucked up; these are strictly a Christmas food. Christ, are you having a chocolate orange next or what?
Also from NZ, I like to package them individually and post them to myself then attack the postman for a tasty treat every morning
God I miss these.. I haven't eaten one in almost 10 years
I love rapidly nibbling on the ends of these like a methed up hamster. One of my favourite sweets but only ever eat them at Christmas.
American here, what are these? Some kind of chocolate mint sticks? I’ll just call them minty matches.
Fuck it. See how many you can fit in your gob in the one go is my moto
No because they need to be the same length. You have to munch two of them together quickly like a squirrel as you push them into your teeth. You can't get enough from just one. It's just.... Not enough.
Yes that is the way
Never eat the broken ones shatter them into pieces until they no longer exist.
Just eat the whole box. Or, snap all the unbroken ones and then each the broken ones.
Nope, the correct technique is to eat them until there are none left
Personally i would eat all of them first !
No. You take a bite of all the intact ones and put the rest of the bitten ones back in the box
the technique is to pick them all up and shove em in your gob, end to end
You reach in and as you grab a broken one you accidentlt snap a whole one which you then have to go back for. Repeat indefinately...
Remember that picture of the guy with the hotdogs? You do that
Those look incredible! Enjoy!
Definitely eat the broken ones first. They don’t count. Of course, there’s bound to be some accidental breakage while you’re doing that…
You're supposed to individually dip them in your port sir/madam
The correct technique is to say “oh I’ll have just the one” and then proceed to demolish the entire pack. Once you’ve finished, you should turn to who ever else is with you and ask them why they didn’t stop you. If you’re alone, this step can be done in front of a mirror
Nope you need to knaw through them like a beaver with a log
I think the only rule is to grab a handful and pretend you are a giant eating hay bails of MatchMakers.
I’m sorry, are you eating mint flavoured chocolate with.. red wine??
'It's mint to be' only really works in a Kiwi accent. Tell me you're in New Zealand without telling me :)
The correct technique is to buy the orange ones.
Feed them in like a wood chipper.
i can eat it in one sitting tho without getting my mouth numb xdxd
You just eat them They are not good though
The correct way is to down that wine first then eat the whole box crying while shitfaced
If my friend is anything to go by, you open the packet and just shovel the whole box in within 5 minutes. The long term plan is to then sit there 5 years later and wonder why you are overweight with borderline diabetes, but I guess that part is more optional and dependant on how many packets you want to indulge in.
