Apollo Chocolate Stick Wafer
“A common recess-time snack during my primary school days, these meagre chocolate wafer biscuits were brittle, dry and uninteresting, filled with a needle-thin layer of chocolate cream that you could barely taste. Yet here I am, two decades later, describing these wafers with a mixture of fondness and disdain. If I had to eat them today, they’d go nicely with a teaspoon of peanut butter or Lotus Biscoff spread.”
