[eirian]

A friend on another forum has just posted this quiz so I thought I might as well transfer it over here... No idea what the answers are, I'm afraid. (She was asking for answers by lunchtime, so I'm not sure how much help we can be for her, but it should be fun for us)

Well, this is only vaguely connected, but you lot have never failed me yet in my search for random and bizarre bits of information.

My drama group are doing a murder mystery play, which happens to contain lots of references to sweets. We've decided to make it an extra challenge for the audience, to work out what they all are. However, there's one line "tough on the outside, but with such a soft centre" that we're fairly sure refers to some sort of sweets, but have no idea what!

Any ideas, anyone?

[Bunnylump]

Minstrels?

[LAT]

or chocolate eclairs? But that is more descriptive than a cryptic clue.

[Laura]

It's not supposed to be cryptic! Other lines include " it's not enough for your work rest and play", which is obviously Mars bars. But that one is eluding us!

[MBH]

If you are slightly mis-quoting that line, you sparked a memory in me (that took Google to sort out). Check this out:
