Robert Opie Kit Kat Fridge Magnet

I picked this up from eBay a month ago from a seller in England. It's a Robert Opie collection Tin Plate Kit Kat Fridge Magnet. I have no idea who Robert Opie is. So, let me write you what it says on the back of the packaging.

The Robert Opie Collection
The world's largest collection of British advertising images, started by Robert Opie in 1963, provides a fascinating insight into the British way of life over the last 130 years. Featured many times in the media, The Collection now numbers over half a million items, and is continually expanding. A part of The Collection is open for public viewing in Notting Hill, London.

It'll be another neat addition to my collection. Cool, huh?

nestle lion (England)

Here's another one from the foreign section of the supermarket. I've actually had this bar before while I was on a cruise several years ago. I remember it being quite tasty, but not so much that I was inclined to search for an online retailer. Naw mean?

The packaging is just okay from a graphic artist's point of view. I've definitely seen better from Nestle. It actually looks quite dated and lacks the flare of new packages. The bar itself was quite good, and was made with a mixture of caramel, filled wafers, crisp cereal and milk chocolate. It taste like a conglomeration of Milky Ways, Nestle Crunches and Kit Kats. One would think this would be heaven. However, there's just too much going on here and while there are a lot of good flavors, but none of them is distinct.
