Where do we sign up?

Maryland have announced they are paying people to TASTE TEST their cookies. This is literally the most amazing and EASIEST job we have ever heard of!
The cookie makers say they are looking for a lucky and talented individual (and that person's friend) to join their team by visiting their Innovation Centre HQ in Edinburgh and give them feedback on their cookie flavours once they have tested them all.
And you'll be able to test flavours that the public don't even know exist whilst getting £350 for your time!
Honestly though, where do we sign up?
Announcing the news on their Twitter page, the biscuit company said, 'Dream job alert! We're on the hunt for a Cookie Taster to join our team. Tell us what YOU would do to become the Maryland Cookie Taster'.
So, you just need to say why you would be the perfect candidate for the role and that's it! We wish every job application was that easy!
But don't worry, if you need some help, we've got you covered with these top three lines you could use:
1) 'I can eat a full packet of biscuits in 10 minutes'
2) 'My palette is SO good, I know every single flavour known to man'
3) 'I'm the King/Queen of Biscuits'
You never know, these lines might bag you the job!
Swipe through to see which chocolate bars we miss
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!

2 of 21
21) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
1) Dairy Milk Tiffin
After being off the shelves for years, Tiffin made its comeback in 2016. Hallelujah!
2) Cadbury Coconut Boost
The core centre made up of dessicated coconut combined with a normal Boost bar was just too good - why on EARTH was this masterpiece ever taken out of circulation?!
3) Mars Delight
That caramel and chocolate cream filling mixed with that wafer, was a pure delight. Sadly, we despite people's efforts, this Mars chocolate bar won't be returning anytime soon.
4) Cadbury Marble
Milk and white chocolate AND praline in one bar? Yup. Cadbury's really are one of the best at coming up with new recipes.
5) Cadbury Spira
Two fingers of Dairy Milk with chocolate spiralling around the outside... YUM.
6) Time Out
The Time Out was very slyly taken off the shelves - basically a chocolate wafer, but SO MUCH MORE. Thankfully, they still exist in shops as a single wafer.
7) Cadbury Snow Flake
The geniuses at Cadbury decided to merge their white Dream chocolate with the standard flake to create utter perfection in this little bar. But why, oh why, did they stop making them?!
8) Rowntree's Cabana
Coconut, caramel, cherries and chocolate – the ultimate tropical chocolate bar, right?
9) Trio
TRIO! TRIOOOO! I want Trio and I want one now!
10) Cadbury Dream
Possibly one of the best additions to the Heroes tin at Christmas.
11) Cadbury Fuse
Nuts, raisins, fudge and cereal pieces all in one chocolate bar?! It's years since we last saw a Fuse bar around. Sob.
12) Terry's Pyramint
Basically, a pyramid version of an After Eight but with a slightly sloppier middle. We miss these!
13) KitKat Senses
We can't for the life of us think why these went extinct. But they've been refashioned in a selection box, so that's something at least.
14) Milkybar Choo
We're hoping this one will make a comeback. The strange combination of white chocolate and fudge worked surprisingly perfectly.
15) Cadbury Taz Bar
When Taz became extinct, this chocolate bar was revolutionised as a Freddo bar with caramel. But we miss that devil.
16) Twix Top
This was the highlight of our school packed lunches... Anyone else?!
17) Cadbury Snaps
They're like Pringles - but chocolate. And just like our favourite snack, you couldn't ever just have one Snap!
18) Rowntree's Secret
Withdrawn due to low sales volumes, the marshmallow centre wrapped in thick chocolate was a real treat back in the day.
19) Cadbury Wispa Mint
We've all had a Wispa, haven't we? But the mint version had an extra edge to it that was just simply divine. Sigh.
20) Texan
The mighty chew.
21) Flyte
Forget Maltesers, this really was a lighter way to enjoy chocolate.
