Default Nestle Yorkie - "Not for Girls"

So...what exactly is Yorkie bar? I mean, i know that it's a candy, but i don't live in England. My friend's grandparents brought him a Yorkie from England and i loved the wrapper and its anti-girl logo and "Not for Girls" slogan, but i need to know more...

"Do not feed the birds."

Its a chocolate bar. Large chunks. Tastes nice. The ad gymic was its too big/hard/tough for girls, which lead to some quite entertaining adverts on TV. It comes wiv nuts and fruit if u want and they did one wiv honeycombe bits in 4 a bit (that was the best one IMO!).

We had a similar one for Amstel beer here. Three friends in a bar wondering whether it's a woman or a transvestite sitting at the bar. One walks up to 'it', explains a play in football and asks what that is called. 'It' replies that it it's offside, he walks back, tells the others it's a bloke and they continue drinking.
