Whaaattt?

Its a traditional item for an easy dessert around a campfire. Easy to bring, or pack. just find a few twigs in the woods and your good to go. In case you did not get how it got the name, its because everyone wants some more, and some more. etc.

 

Our cubs favourite was mini mars bars tucked inside a split banana, wrapped in foil and baked on the bonfire. A final night treat on camp

I was a kid when they came out and as they were advertised as "educational", every kid got one.

We quickly discovered two failproof ways to solve it.

I have never attempted or been tempted by a Rubik's cube; one of many things for which life is too short. Don't do computer games either tho I do remember their beginnings - shooting down little spacemen invaders as they descended a dumb screen. Never understood the appeal.

I'm not sure if they do subtitles though
