Slystuff LinkIt's a no for me, simply because I don't like the taste of pineapple. If you do like it, I'm not going to say you can't have it.It's a no for me, simply because I don't like the taste of pineapple.

Growing prior to the package holiday boom, sticks of rock from seaside towns were still very much a thing for me. Also if I remember correctly, the lettering process has been shown here on various TV programmes over the years too. -

Comment on Do you prefer chunky or smooth peanut butter? in ~food

What I will refer to as "Small Chunk" peanut butter, the brand Meridian's "smooth" peanut butter used to just be a finer version of their "crunchy" one, but not to the extent of say a Sun-Pat.
Sadly and much to my disappointment, they updated the product at some point and it's now much smoother that it used to be.

The plot that drives the need to visit each stage, is rescuing family members who are being forced to work for "The Baron" a Victorian esc pro child labour villain. So well remembered on the narrative themeing.

By "stacking" into larger dolls you can use their abilities to solve puzzles in each of the stages.
Solutions are largely silly, but thankfully not to the point of obscure 80s/90s point and click adventure games.

Comment on Which covers did it better than (or put a fresh twist on) the original? in ~music

For those that don't artists come in and do a small live set of which one song is always a cover, some of these end up becoming very well known.
Someone has very helpfully created a playlist of them from the official Radio 1 YouTube account
A few examples:
Harry Styles - The Chain (Fleetwood Mac cover)
Pendulum - Violet Hill (Coldplay cover)
Taylor Swift - Riptide (Vance Joy cover)
Adele - Promise This (Cheryl cover)
Amy Winehouse - Valerie (The Zutons cover)
I'd stretch 2 further and say most if not all media leaks are intentional as another form of marketing.
