Lucky she is away at the moment, so I would have had an excuse

Judging from the wikipedia these look exactly like Whoppers.

Much better than Whoppers, and not made by the enemy (Hershey)

Yes, they're made by my company, but only available in Europe and Canada... I called in some favors from our Canadian division and have a box of them in my desk drawer.

As I'd never heard of them before now, if someone had offered me a 'Whopper' I'm not sure whether I'd accept it or slap them O_o;;;

But on the mothers day topic, had it...last month(??? can't remember now) and I ended up getting her DS game Lost in Blue, a cd and some bars of chocolate.

XD that too, depends on who's asking, with some guys I've known a 'whopper' would be something rude.

Likewise. Mom called this morning too, and I actually walked over to the calendar to double check that I wasn't going to look like the dirtbag that I am.

Your ruse did not a mark, make me. I know fully well that Mothers Day is next Sunday, as I'll be joining my family for a brunch buffet and self guided tour of Knotts Berry Farm.

I actually thought this may have been a thread from last year and that nobody responded at the time.
