	Open in app or online All 54 classic Whittaker’s chocolate flavours ranked from worst to best The Spinoff Daily, Friday December 2 Dec 2   Cross-post   Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with the Brain Drink, Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Shanti Mathias investigates how Spotify manipulates your music-listening habits, Wyoming Paul learns some low-stress Christmas cooking tips from a celebrity chef, and Chris Schulz finds techie gifts for everyone in the family. But first, Madeleine Chapman proclaims the definitive ranking of all 54 Whittaker’s flavours. Madeleine Chapman: “This ranking has been a long time coming. When I initially thought to rank chocolate blocks, I planned to rank all the chocolate blocks, as is right. But when factoring in Cadbury, Nestle, Whittaker’s, Tony’s, Lindt plus all the various local chocolate makers, I was staring down the barrel of nearly 300 blocks of chocolate. My limit is a lot higher than most but spending $1,500 on chocolate is higher still.” See also: Every dairy lolly in New Zealand, reviewed and ranked Read more Live Updates: Test your knowledge with the Friday Quiz What I learned from Michael Meredith about low-stress Christmas cooking The tragedy of Malachi Subecz should prompt change, but not like this The bumper 2022 Christmas tech gift guide The Friday Poem: ‘Comeuppance’ by Kerry Dalton The Block, but better: Everything you need to know about House Rules NZ Tara Ward: “If Warner Brothers nails the casting, House Rules NZ could be the uplifting reality series of the year. This is a show that changes lives. While it’s limited to homeowners, it’s certainly more heartwarming to watch a diverse mix of hard-working families join together to make dreams come true than The Block NZ, where everything hinges on rich people buying expensive homes during a housing crisis, a cost of living crisis and a pandemic.” Read more The strange joy of stacking (and re-stacking) the dishwasher The Basement Christmas show Sleigh is warm, fuzzy – and oh so funny The Unity Books bestseller chart for the week ending December 2 This year you chose what you listened to – but so did Spotify Sharing is caring!
