Imagine my surprise to be wandering around the local supermarket and spotting this: Perhaps it's my one track mind at play, but I can't think of any good reason - other than someone in their marketing department has heard of Mr Keehl - for these chocolates to be called Mello's. There's even that possessive apostrophe making it clear that Mello is someone to own this chocolate-y treat. Naturally, in the interests of science, I had to purchase a pack and eat them. I can't quite imagine Mello having one of his ferocious eating-chocolate-with-malice-aforethought bites with a small marshmallow tea treat, but yolo. I enjoyed them. Incidentally, in my stories, Mello's chocolate is Bourneville Dark - also made by Cadbury. I pretty much picked it for the colours and the fact that the black splodge looks a little like a bullet-hole when you squint. What chocolate does YOUR Mello nom?

We've had these for as long as I can remember in Belgium. Pretty nifty but unfortunately it's nothing to do with our Mello but because the inside is a marsh"mello".

We've had something similar in Britain, but not called Mello's. I do like the pun between 'mallow' and 'mellow', yet it doesn't explain the missing 'w'.

I bought the ones 'with raspberry flavour jam'. The picture on the packet showed a big blob of jam in the middle, like one gets in a jam doughnut. Well there were eight in the packet, and not one looked anything like the picture. Just a smear of something vaguely pink inside. Why am I not surprised?

The chocolate that Mello eats makes me think of Meiji's Black Chocolate.
