Armadillo - Crunchy on the outside, smooth on the inside.

I suspect that only Brits will recognise that line, so for the benefit of everyone else: It was used as a slogan on an advert for a chocolate bar. For a year or so, you could here that being quoted everywhere.

Horn toads I have heard of, but I can't remember exactly what they are. Is it them or cane toads that people go around licking?
