    Yeah I remember when they launched Dr Pepper here to great fanfare. One sip and I was wondering why the fuck I'd spent my poor uni student money on that shit.</p></blockquote>

    I had pretty much the same experience as an apprentice , spent all the change in my ashtray the day before payday and was gutted at how foul it tasted .

    Leave Whittakers out of this, I'm on my third and I won't hear a word against them.

    <p>Speaking of Whittakers, I was disappointed I wasn't able to find any macadamia on my recent trip home.</p>

    Whittakers and Lindt are the best chocolate on the market at the moment. Why are people even purchasing Cadbury??

    <p>Taste? I still like the taste of Dairy Milk and Energy, in fact I prefer Dairy Milk over the Creamy Milk of Whittakers.</p>

    I don't think they went to the press , someone on stuff either saw or got sent the link on Facebook . I don't understand the cherry ripe or Turkish delight hate either , don't let your mrs know though . I've never met s chick that likes them and feigning taking one for the team when you choose one from the roses or favourites is leverage for the next round.<br><br>
    Cherry cola/ Dr Pepper is bloody awful though .</p></blockquote>
    Turkish Delight is awesome. Mrs boo hates it. Loves Cherry Ripe though. So it balances ... the secret to 16 years of marriage ... ?

    <p>Apparently nestles white chocolate isn't actually real chocolate whereas Whittakers is closer to the real thing. Another reason to support Poriruas finest.</p>

    I wonde if they did change the recipe ? It stands to reason they'd be looking at cutting costs and substituting ingredients if they could.

    <p>A man was shot by police near Plymouth St and Keith St in Whanganui on Thursday.</p>
    </div>
    <div> </div>
    </div>
    <p>Police have revealed a Whanganui man who was shot after allegedly pointing a gun at officers was carrying a replica firearm.</p>
    <p><span style="font-size:18px;"><u><strong>Wattie Adolf Kahu</strong></u>, </span>49, limped from the cells into the Whanganui District Court on Wednesday to face several charges.</p>
    <p>He is alleged to have used a firearm - described on court documents as an air pistol that looked like a Glock 17​ - to prevent being arrested.</p>
    <p>Police have since confirmed it was a replica, and not a real gun.</p>
    <p>He is also charged with burglary, aggravated burglary and kidnapping.</p>
    <p>The charges were laid in relation to an incident on Thursday morning, when police went to speak to Kahu.</p>
    <p>He was not home, but police received information he was at another location and used police dogs to track him.</p>
    <p>After being located a short time later on Plymouth St, the man allegedly pointed a gun at police.</p>
    <p>Acting Central District Commander Inspector Tania Kura said the man was shot twice, suffering injuries to his head and leg.</p>
    <p>In court, defence lawyer Debbie Goodlet​ said Kahu needed more time before entering a plea.</p>

    <div> </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    <p>"He cannot enter pleas on the current documentation."</p>
    <p>Judge David Cameron remanded Kahu in custody until April.</p>
    <p>In connection to the investigation, police are asking for the public's help locating a black mountain-bike left in the area of Bell, Plymouth, Dublin and Niblett Streets on March 24. </p>
    <p>They believe the bike was left in the area by the man involved in the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact police.</p>

    <p>I think Wattie was a common-ish name in previous eras. Who names their kid, even their second name, Adolf? Maybe the doctor who delivered him was named Adolf. </p>
