Mostly you expect food items to be named something delicious-sounding — and not something that your kids would come up with if they were playing a game about a swamp. So what's with the new chocolate bar, the Hormbles Chormbles? Jaya Saxena of @Eater attempts to understand this product intended to "disrupt the candy industry." Just for fun and because we're nosy, tell us in the comments what you think a Hormbles Chormbles sounds like it would be.

“In Australia, in a #democracy, you make your #arguments with #words, not #weapons,” he told Sunrise.

“If people want to come up to us and have a chat, they can.”

“If they don’t like us, then they might mumble something under their breath or cross the road – you never want to see the sorts of threats of #physical #violence happen, like we’ve seen #overseas.” — Member for #Blaxland

Does Australia and Australians need violence for political change? NO, thats why we vote.

Both major Political parties have “Pay to meet the Politician” programs for the largest bidders, so saying the public can chat to any Politician, especially serving members is unrealistic & patronising.

words have meanings and no culture alone holds their meanings (yeah, its hard but true). 2-3000 years ago, it made some sense, but not today, when we know humans have developed many ways of organizing themselves into cultures. With no exceptions, no matter how much we want to "believe", all cultures have flaws and inspiring manifestations. Like it or not, we all have to communicate and that requires trust. Crying wolf out of context, is not wise.
