Two stories about Freddo frogs

Tweet

I’ve mentioned Freddo frogs in a couple of discussions but it seems they might be more common in Australia than in other countries. They are just a small chocolate in the shape of a frog and wrapped in bright paper. I’ve mentioned them in my discussion here: http://www.mylot.com/post/3119773/dont-you-dare-give-me-one-smartie-at-a-time which tells how Vince used to occasionally come home from work with a block of chocolate for me. Then, in the book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus, he learnt that gifts for a woman don’t have to be huge. Women will appreciate even a small gift. So then he started bringing a Freddo frog instead of a block of chocolate. He was telling the checkout chick about this and she suggested he buy a packet of Smarties and dole them out one at a time. The other story I have about Freddo frogs is that once, for a birthday party for one of the boys, I made green jelly (jello) and when it was nearly set I sat a Freddo frog half in and half out of the jelly. All the kids bar one thought it was great but it spooked one child out a bit.
