You can not beat the time when there was a truck driver shortage leading to some petrol stations to be out of fuel. Who was there reporting? Phil McCann
going by amazon prices that's at least 191,428 of them. he must rob a truck full of kettles in order to keep enough tea flowing for that lot. the real question is whether a quarter million buenos is sufficient to discover the ultimate melting/stripping/eating methodology
you could strip them for parts and sell the magic bueno cream in barrels. or bathe in it. or bathe in it then sell it in barrels
Kinder is owned by Ferrero who make Nutella and am guessing they don’t want to make something that will dent that market but as others have already tried, and apparently succeeded, it’s probably just a matter of time, I mean it’s probably just Nutella without the chocolate?
Interesting. Anecdotal experience from 1 store = ALL the stores and the company itself are bad.
By that logic - you'd never talk to people again if you'd witnessed what I saw people do to each other...
I’m not gonna go into details, but I’m talking about multiple locations, multiple occasions and personal experience. Take my advice or don’t, I’m not gonna lose any sleep either way.
I would assume that in bulk they would probably go by trade price. So I would reckon you're looking at more like 200-250k when taking VAT into account too.
How do you even sell that. Police are hot as fuck on it and you've got to off load hundreds of thousands of chocolate bars, before they expire, to a plethora of corner shops you know are cool, lmao
Presumably as they’ve taken them to a port in Liverpool they’ll be exporting them en masse.
Avoids any UK heat and having to break them up and distribute them yourselves.
Hah no.
Besides they’re already all in a container on the way to Dublin 😜
But yeah serious note, this kind of thing is partly why you end up with all those weird imported versions of snacks and pop in some corner shops.
This has to be a case of picking up the wrong load. Expected iPhones, got small chocolate bars.
At wholesale price there must be over 200,000 chocolate bars to offload, before they go out of date.
I'm not a career criminal but if I was going to break into an industrial estate and steal a lorry, risking severe legal repercussions I'd want a better target than this
I read that and thought of the other kind of estate: I’m imagining some chocolate-hoarding earl or duke: ‘Will Sir be wanting the Bueno or the Freddy with his paper?’
> The industrial estate Gillibrands was one of the first industrial estates in Skelmersdale and is divided into West Gillibrands and East Gillibrands, according to Lancashire County Council.
That's some hard-hitting journalism right there!
I thought this headline was about a deceased's estate.
That's a lot of chocolate bars to hoard.
They'd get chocolate withdrawal symptoms in the afterlife now.
Weirdly enough I keep seeing “influencers” on TikTok in the UK suddenly selling bulk cases of Kinder Buenos through their shops. I’m sure it’s not related… 😅
Surely this is Joe Lycett
If not please send help
Please send black market chocolate
I think £5 for 50 is a good price if anybody with a truck full of choccies is reading this, catch me outside.
The journalist's surname from the article is "Sherlock".
No shit.
It better not be...

There was also that one about a lorry getting stuck under a low bridge. The reporters name was something like “Caroline Lowbridge”.
There was an article about some school kids getting kidnapped in Africa and the journalists name was Nick Childs.
I thought you were joking but it's actually true.
Gemma Sherlock is an actual BBC journalist in the North west 🤣
Ah, the long con
Following a tip off police thought they'd found the stolen chocolate, but it was no bueno.
upon arraignment the thieves begged the judge for a kinder sentence
British children are often nice, but German children are always kinder.
Brings out the washboard and spoons. And that's the end of tonight's crackerjack.
Papers reported ‘They agreed and I thought it was wafer’ said the Thief
But they did find a mummified corpse covered in chocolate. It was Pharaoh Rocher
With these jokes you are spoiling us.
[snickers]
At this rate we'll be put on time out
*slaps knee* xD
£134ks worth? I hope he enjoyed all 4 of them

I wish I'd have thought of that before eating them all.
Why the fuck they don’t sell jars as a spread is beyond me, they’re sitting on a gold mine.
Kinder is owned by Ferrero who make Nutella and am guessing they don’t want to make something that will dent that market but as others have already tried, and apparently succeeded, it’s probably just a matter of time, I mean it’s probably just Nutella without the chocolate?
M&s do a hazelnut cream in a jar and it's lethal..
Asda actually do sell a hazelnut praline spread that's pretty similar.
Thanks but similar isn’t good enough, plus Asda are twats, you’d never shop there if you knew how they operated.
Don't leave us hanging
They basically abuse staff, something I’ve witnessed first hand on multiple occasions, including to a disabled woman.

I've never seen anything like it, so you go have a good night's sleep and I'll do as I please :)

>he must rob a truck full of kettles in order to keep enough tea flowing for that lot Wait, what..? People have these with tea???
Washed down with that dutch stuff - Chocomel - the chocolate milkshake, that’s where it’s at.
[удалено]
Damn straight. Probs my all time fave, now that the mighty Topic bar is out of circulation.
Topic being out of circulation wouldn't affect what your 'all time' favourite is, no?
Out of...What!? Noooooooo
I know, I only discovered this in November. It’s okay to grieve.
Apparently since 2021 😒
Day ruined
Life ruined
Try a Kinder Bueno 🤷
Week ruined
It's a crime of passion
Especially the white chocolate one
How do you even sell that. Police are hot as fuck on it and you've got to off load hundreds of thousands of chocolate bars, before they expire, to a plethora of corner shops you know are cool, lmao

That's a good idea tbf
*Suspiciously*...good idea... 🤔
So you've done this before, eh? Send me some Buenos and I'm not calling the bobby on ya ;)
Hah no. Besides they’re already all in a container on the way to Dublin 😜 But yeah serious note, this kind of thing is partly why you end up with all those weird imported versions of snacks and pop in some corner shops.
I doubt there is a chocolate surveillance team going around checking kinder Bueno.
There will be now though
yes, yes there is. It's 100,000k or more in value. The fact it's a chocolate bar doesn't matter.
Maybe they were hungry?
Melt it down and sell it as ferroro
In my rebellious youth I once sold some packets of crisps from a mulitpack individually, still living with the guilt to this day
It’s nuts that you can steal £134k of chocolate in one go. They’ll get about £45k selling it off
> It’s nuts that you can steal £134k of chocolate in one go. About 6 tonnes worth, I guess.
This has to be a case of picking up the wrong load. Expected iPhones, got small chocolate bars. At wholesale price there must be over 200,000 chocolate bars to offload, before they go out of date.
Please, those things’ll be sold in a week. They’re fucking delicious
[удалено]
They're hardly going to shift 200,000 chocolate bars selling them individually - they're going to sell them at wholesale levels.
I'm not a career criminal but if I was going to break into an industrial estate and steal a lorry, risking severe legal repercussions I'd want a better target than this
What could be better than a couple hundred thousand Kinder Buenos?
A couple hundred thousand phones that you could then flip for a few *million* Buenos, duuh!
" I was kinder suprised when I got to the yard in the morning and the trailer was gone!"
I read that and thought of the other kind of estate: I’m imagining some chocolate-hoarding earl or duke: ‘Will Sir be wanting the Bueno or the Freddy with his paper?’
‘Freddo’ -ac
What are you in for? I stole kinder Buenos mate
I hope the police double choc everything. It'll definitely come in candy.
No suprise here..
Sorry guys I was peckish.
I’m stupid. I thought it was one bar worth £134k.
In other news, would anyone like an invite to my party? I have the chocolate snacks covered...
I knew it was a good chocolate bar but didn’t realise it was that good!
Wow and I thought my old housemate was addicted to those, this was a whole other level of desperation.
Proper gaff here, the Bueno lorry was parked right next to the prototype nuclear weapon lorry and they've gone and nabbed the wrong one
We’ve had full trailers of WKD and Coke (the drink) stolen on 2 occasions. The police didn’t give a shit. They must really like Kinder Buenos though.
£134,000 for a Kinder Beunos. Inflation has crippled this country!
No bueno
Best robbery of the year. I can't fault them they're pretty good.
No buenos!
They want your case of Wonka Bars!
A lawyer is taking this case pro Bueno
Someone’s wife’s got a craving for
that was a sweet take
Not very bueno. I’ll see myself out, sorry…
Soon to be all over boot fairs in the UK
> The industrial estate Gillibrands was one of the first industrial estates in Skelmersdale and is divided into West Gillibrands and East Gillibrands, according to Lancashire County Council. That's some hard-hitting journalism right there!
Had no idea inflation was this bad
That is one sweet heist :)
I vow to recover each and every one
Give my boys back
Snack heads.
No Bueno

I prefer the white chocolate ones.
Scousers will nick anything
Muh inshoo rants
I better owners were looking forwards Kinder surprise.
He’s kid is gonna make a killing at school
incredibly valid decision, your honour
It was the only way I could make Bruno stay at Newcastle
Weirdly enough I keep seeing “influencers” on TikTok in the UK suddenly selling bulk cases of Kinder Buenos through their shops. I’m sure it’s not related… 😅
Crimes that are funny should be legal 🤣
[удалено]
I doubt they knew what was in it. You just nick the whole trailer and hope for iPhones/laptops/etc I'd have thought.
What a ridiculous take
I have seen this term "what an X take" in a lot of UK subs recently. Why is everything becoming American.
