Reminds us of our childhood
True!!! We did love that chocolate coated cream and we still do. Maybe because of that fully fledged white cream? Well, I'm not sure, because its not the best tasting candy after all, right? I guess the connection we have is more of an emotional one. It kind of reminds us of our childhood. It's not about the wrapper, it's not about the ad, it's not about the taste, it's about the emotional experience; the past innocent years. Because we all did, one day back then, enjoyed our Ras el Abd and never ever shared it with anyone. Well I know I didn't!

We all love it
Chocolate wrapped cream on a biscuit, every Lebanese knows it, loves it and eats it every day. Very cheap, made in Lebanon. We don't know what we love about it. It's not known, it's never used advertising and I have never seen an ad for it, yet we all love it. It's like Havaianas for Brazilians.
