Potioncat:
Sometimes you feel like a nut,
Sometimes you don't.
That's the beginning to my all time favorite jingle. The visual would be someone acting crazy, then behaving more dignified.
The rest of the jingle goes,
Almond Joy's gots nuts,
Mounds don't.
Mounds would be like Bountys, and Almond Joy would be a Mound with an almond on top of the coconut, under the chocolate covering--also either milk or dark.
Who makes Bountys? I think I've had one before, but I didn't realise it was British. I like it better than Mounds, but I don't remember why.

Potioncat:
What are KJ's?
By the way, Tonks, I laughed at your reaction to energy instead of calories. Energy is good! But it reminded that a lot of our (US) "energy bars" are simply high calorie, high fat products. Great taste wtihout the guilt of eating a candy bar.
