The G2G bars looked great but at that price ld probably pass also but the Baklava that's a yes yes yes they tasted so good, hope you like them. I've never figured out what you even do with scrub Daddy or scrub Mummy 🤷‍♀️ after my Barkeepers Friend (not a friend at all) experience l will not be falling down that rabbit hole, it should have come with a warning "do not use on glass shower screens" instead of "great for glass shower screens" 😡 lm assuming in the US you don't pay for water usage by the Litre as we do in Australia because no one here would use products that require so much rinsing and still leave behind a white powder residue. Everett taking his candy for any subscribers was the cutest, glad it was a successful sampies day. 😘🐈
