Chop cup load

Postby ajaxjones » Apr 29th, '10, 22:29



Just to share I found a great load for my mini chop cup. I use one of those small 50mm ones and have used golf balls previously, albeit with the chance of them talking. I've now found some nice practice golf balls from Decathalon that are both coloured and soft rubber. So get the benefit of really looking like a golf ball and colour matched yellow to the yellow crotchet ball I now use. Only 99p

I use squash balls. Then at the end you can come up with a joke about how did they squash in there?

Cadbury's caramel egg for the first load and then a cream egg for the second.

Really nice give-aways too although I usually save a couple to eat on the way home :wink:

Ive used cadburys creme eggs too,great for kids at weddings,but you cant beat the traditional lemon and lime.
I once got asked by a chubby girl at gig,wow that was great,but it would be better if it was a marsbar,so maybe i will have to get some mini mars/twix and take them along just incase i get asked again.
