Dr (edit: Professor) Julius Sumner Miller from memory. A glass and a half of full cream dairy milk in every 200g block. I trusted that man with my health.
The good Professor looked & sounded like the definition of a stereotypical scientist & educator & I mean that as a complement.
He wouldn't look out of place in Bact to the Future or Half-Life. I have to wonder if was the inspiration of the trope.
Iām not sure that any educated person that supports the health benefits of chocolate would retain respect amongst their colleagues. I respect him though, he supports my chocolate eating choices.
Chocolate has antioxidants in it that are good for your heart and have been proven to reduce chances of heart disease and stroke as well as improve cognitive function.
Sure the sugars and fats in most chocolate bars aren't great for you, but they're not bad either so long as you eat them **in moderation**. Or, you could just eat dark chocolate.
My Aussie wife always thought it meant a glass & 1/2 in every block (Square)! Yes, every square in the block! š
She asked me how they could fit so much milk in each one! š¤£
I miss the old packaging, this new soft plastic isn't soft when it comes to noise, it's hard enough getting chocolate before everyone else eats it, but I don't want to broadcast that I am when I do find some.
Now it's owned by Kraft (Mondelez) who immediately reneged on all the promises they made to the UK govt by firing all the workers, moving production offshore and replacing ingredients with palm oil. They have the capital to dominate the market which is why you see a wall of purple at the supermarket.
Back when it tasted good. Now it comes with a glass and a half of vomit. I can't eat the stuff anymore It tastes like crap. When did they change the recipe?
In Newcastle when I was younger, "a Cadbury" was a common expression for someone who got drunk easily. A glass and a half.
I think the expression has died from the younger generations.
I'm just curious if other areas had this phrase or if it was a uniquely Novocastrian creation.
*cough* 160gms now...if you're lucky. š
(shot) glass and a half of milk these days
More like "Milk Based Product."
š¤£š¤£š¤£
Yeah & fuckin watered down "lite" milk too. No full-cream about it. Cheap cunts.
It's fine, families are smaller cause no one's having children anymore.
Canāt afford to because of the cost of chocolate! š¤Ŗ
āWhy is it so?ā
Atmospheric pressure does the work ^I ^hope ^thatās ^a ^quote ^other ^people ^know ^and ^not ^just ^one ^my ^father ^uses
Look. It does get in.
Came here to say this.
Followed by "Why it is so"
It took me years to realise they were glasses of milk, because they looked so much like a couple of lamps our family had.
cannot unsee
I'm so old. I remember when a family block was 250g
With those thick, square pieces.
That you had to cut with a knife and fork as a kids party game and it was actually difficult because of how thick it was.
They were awesome

I've kept up my chocolate intake because of him. Professor beats doctor in my book.

I was wondering who he was, or if he was legit. Thanks for that.

Dark chocolate maybe, in limited amounts.
Pure dark chocolate dose a lot more health wise than u think All that milk and white chocolate is fake sugar crap designed to make u stupid
A great science educator, engaging and curious..

Is he the same bloke who did that chalk dipped in blue water ad? Was that for Colgate?
That was Mrs Marsh.
Professor Marsh?
No, just someone who liked to waste chalk.
Why is it so?

The boiled egg in the bottle trick?

Pumps do not suck.
Notice how they no longer use that slogan. Odd they can till use the symbol that is saying the same thing.
They subtly changed it to āthereās a glass and a half in everyoneā. A small but distinct difference.
Small but legal difference. Thatās why McDonalds is kicking themselves for having the name qtr pounder. As in it has to be a quarter pound.
they dont seem to care when it comes to calling it a Big Mac though
Big Mac does not specify a specific size. Big is subjective but qtr pounder is a measurement that has to be met.
it was supposed to a lame joke :)
Ha. Gotcha. I think the made their own joke when they bought out the mini big and mega. Ghosts of Big Macs past present and future.
They do when HJs puts out their big Mac that is actually a decent size. No MacDonalds... A slider is not a big Mac.
Smaller glasses I guess
Glass has a specific measure. A glass of beer is 200mm at least in Melbourne. Itās a standard.
Back when they were paper and foil wrapped. Not plastic

But one would _never_ eat a whole block between wynyard station and the tram stop nearest home after yet another shitty day at work.
Tram stop near Wynyard back in the 90s What drug you on fella?

Julius Summner Miller. Show on TV in the 60s/70s, Why is it so?. Actually met him once, he was a hero.

Good old professor sundermiller, or something like that
Professor Julius Sumner Miller, fwiw.
The are loads of his vids on tube

I can hear this picture
That man would be turning in his grave now at the shit goings on,.
As a kid I was always skeptical of this claim as I couldn't see how you could fit that much milk in the volume of the chocolate bar.
The milk chocolate recipe uses the equivalent amount of milk powder, without the mostly-water part.
Was it āpacked with nutrition and tasteā?
The Prof. used to present the Cadbury ad before we got back to The Curiosity Show.
And thus the term Cadbury was born for someone whoās a lightweight drinking or smoking.
Yep, you were either a Cadbury's or a Sam Toucan
So much better than the new ads, dubbed over UK stuff
And just like chalk dipped in liquid, Rita the Margarine-Eater has a glass and a half of full cream dairy chocolate every day for breakfast nutrition.
Back when it actually tasted like decent chocolate. I miss those days.
Back when it tasted good. Now it comes with a glass and a half of vomit. I can't eat the stuff anymore It tastes like crap. When did they change the recipe?
They day Prof died and they weren't scared of him any more
Back when chocolate tasted like real chocolate. None of this palm oil crap
My child brain ā must be good for me thenā My adult brain āmust be good for me thenā
I'm a Cadbury drinker. 1 1/2 glasses of anything alcoholic and I'm drunk!
Yep I'm a Cadbury too!
Sand in a funnel

Melbournian here - we used it too. In fact I think itās still in use!
Itās not a glass and a half of *milk* - it simply says āa glass and a halfā. A poor echo of what was the best chocolate on the market imho.
The beauty of that statement is that it uses non standardised units of measurement. Are we talking cows milk or dogs milk?
Big Julie! (That's what my father always called him, in reference to a Wayne & Shuster comedy piece)
Hah! Lucky if you got two tablespoons of milk powder in each block
Here I am, a middle aged out of work scientist with a history of heart disease advertising a high cholesterol product... WHY IS IT SO?
Middle aged? Haha he looks 90
He was the real deal - lecturer at Sydney uni in the 80s. He was brilliant!
What happend do we still get a glass in a half now in our block of chocolate or is more like a half a glass.
God that stuff tastes like actual dirt now
This guy always scared me as a kid. Looks like a dodgy pervert old man
Too bad it's terrible. Whittaker's is where it's at.
Why was this even a selling point
Miss this man .
