Chocolate Jet Album

Anyone still have their

Chocolate Jet Album

? I think the monas are a great way to educate children and stimulate their minds. I wish I had the one with cars in it! They remind me a bit of the cigarette cards we used to all collect in England.

Kernow....Jets?? I think you are riding a spaceship. You are on that spaceship again Kernow. Where do you plan on "jetting" to?

What's the big deal abut those Jet bars anyway? They're ok. But it's not exactly Godiva. In fact, I'll take a good Hershey bar anyday over that spaceship candy.

Good reading material I did learned from the "Album de Historia Natural" and the chocolate bars are not bad. Gave away my album.

Jet Album What a brilliant idea!

IMHO all prepackaged food should have some interesting educational tidbit on it. I used to love reading some of the random stuff they put on cereal boxes when I was a kid.

G5: The shops often have tiny samples, and you can buy one chocolate at a time :)

I was talking about the albums specifically not the merits of a mass produced inexpensive chocolate bar and comparing it to a higher quality more expensive product. If I talk about the merits of the Renault Kangoo you would probably say well it can't go as fast as an Aston Martin.

The albums are now fetching quite high prices amongst collectors.

Just for G5s benefit Jet makes some very high quality chocolate too, which is capable of holding its own against any European chocolate, of course you don't get monas to fill up your album; and they cost a fair bit too.

just my luck how much exactly Jim..?
I managed to complete my album in 94, after hundreds of jets...now you telling me I could have been getting some money for it.
Goodness knows what happened to that album, but it looks exceedingly nice when complete....very colourful and informative

don't do this to me Jim.
I still haven't recovered from Ashley Colegate...seems like i joined this hotel
2 weeks late.
Sod the 3 grand i might have got for the jet album, i should be typing this from my chalet in Armenia after I would have been given £300.000 for giving The Sun the videotape of Cole, Mourinho, Kenyon and superagent Pini Zahavi walking in to the hotel.

Where's the rizla...?

you can buy one in centro you can buy a finished one for forty thousand pesos in centro. But its more fun making your own, much more rewarding, my fiancee collects the little pics for his album.
