I used to chow down on QS while conjugating Spanish verbs. Then they changed the mix. I have not bought the things in at least two years.

Good Lord, man, how on earth do you manage to conjugate Spanish verbs, then?

You are now officially The King. Your crown is a bicycle crash-helmet in aircraft-identification orange, complete with chin strap, with lettering in duct tape on the side proclaiming “I’m Special.” There’s a Hello Kitty sticker tastefully placed front and center.

What’s this about Starburst having a toffee flavor now?

From the OP’s Wiki link:

“It is said to have been the favourite chocolate of former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and Iowa governor Tom Harkin.”

Quality Street: the choice of dictators and senators with presidential ambitions.

That helps explains these lyrics:

From Pablo Picasso Visita el Planeta de los Simios by Adam and the Ants

I’d never heard of Quality Street sweets before.

Bolding in the quoted lyric is mine

Have you guys tried the Halo mod with Princess Di?

It makes all your opponents look like like her.
