Default Galaxy Truffles on their own ?

Where can i get them without the rest of the celebrations crap? I seem to recall there used to be a galaxy truffle egg, but i can't find it anywhere.

ohh yeah, the missus worked for mars for 1 year and you would not believe some of the free stuff i got, did you know they have "FREE" mars vending machines on site down in Reading (winnersh triangle)???


if you buy a Mars "flyte" chocolate drink, then my missus actually wrote the "patter/blurb" on the rear of the packet


i went down to visit her once and she had left me the key, she was not due in from work until later, so i cleaned the scooby, parked it in the garage and went inside, upon seeing a "milky way" croissant thing in her bedroom i assumed it was a suprise for me, and promptly ate it

only it was not for me at all lmfao and it was some development thing

was fooken tasty mind
also tasted a prototype "bounty" drink and did some taste tests on the biscuit fingers that were getting trialled for the "twix" chocolate drink
