CANDY!!!

[Ryou-Neko]

Too bad if this is already a post, I'm not going through 20-odd pages looking for it. What's your favorite candy!?

[Ryou-Neko]

I like Dark Chocolate.

Hooray for Kit-Kat!

I'm a jelly bean guy, although don't give me those crappy 2/$1.00 jelly beans. I need real jelly beans.

I love the sweettart jelly beans that come out for Easter.

Jelly Belly are really good, but they are so expensive  8O. You are better off going to the factory and buying reject beans, lol.

I have a thing with mints too, but that is a seperate thing for me than candy.

I don't like sweets.

What is "Baby Ruth"... it sounds like a sick thing to be eating, lol.
I tried a peanut butter cup once (this American dude brought some over) but found it repulsive. Also tried "tootsie rolls", but wasn't too impressed.

Also, here we only call rock candy or the stuff that candy hearts are made of "candy". We don't call chocolate or other sweet things "candy". Thought it was a little interesting. We call lots of "candy" "lollies".

I feel sorry for everyone who has yet to try a Tim Tam. Mmmmm...  :razz:

I liiiiike, anything with peanut butter.  Reeses cups, fastbreaks, nutrageous MMMMM, I also love kit-kats & mounds.  Oh yeah, and mallo cups.  Those rule.

Hooray for Kit-Kat!

Amen to that!   I love Kit-Kat, and you'll never go wrong offering me one!  (I actually like the Nestlé version a tad bit better than the Reese's version, but I love them both.)  I've been collecting the eBay wrapper cash lately, and I'm going to send in for the Kit-Kat T-shirt!

But now when it comes to the company that makes the most bestest chocolates in the whole world, the whole universe for that matter, it's got to be CADBURY!!!  Give me anything made with Dairy Milk and you've made a friend!  In fact, that reminds me, as soon as Caramellos go back on sale, I've gotta stock up.  I've been craving those lately. :razz:

And to all the British and British-descended peoples in the world, what is wrong with your peanut butter taste buds?!?!  Everything else seems to work just fine except for that one glitchl :?

Aw, Cadbury is Australian. I eat it all the time. I feel so patriotic right now. Do your stores stock heaps of it, coz there's heaps of varieties here. Do you have Cadbury Caramello Koalas (we eat our native animals, lol) and/or Freddo Frogs? My fave is the Black Forest chocolate blocks.

Hmmm, yes I am british-descended and I hate those nasty peanut butter cups. I find them intolerable. Maybe years in the future, scientists will discover that they contain some type of carcinogen or something, and the English will survive. Lol.

And now for something CRAZY!

DID YOU KNOW, that here, your Mars bar, and your MILKY WAY bar are THE OTHER WAY ROUND!?

ie. If you are from the US, and you open a milky way wrapper in Australia, expecting to find a chocolate bar with nougat and caramel, you will find instead a choc bar with nougat but without caramel... i'm told that you call that a "MARS" bar... and vice versa.
This is what I have been told... an american friend even showed me a video of some show she taped in the states... and an ad for MILKY WAY proved this.... I was freaked out...

No, unfortunately, our Cadbury selection is very limited in the States, unless we go to a store that specialises in British and related items.  There is one store in Nashville that I know of that stocks several items from all over the world, but they get pricey.  And there's another in Little Rock (Arkansas) that stocks tons of Australian and Kiwi foods, but I haven't had a chance to visit them except online, and postage isn't pretty.

About the only Cadbury products that are common in the U.S. are the Dairy Milk bars, the Dairy Milk Fruit & Nut, Dairy Milk Roast Almond, Dairy Milk Caramello, Creme Egg (From January till Easter), and a couple others.  Chocolate with air bubbles in it (regardless of brand) have never caught on here. :?

:?: Why?  Peanut butter and chocolate are a very natural, almost obvious, combination!

That makes perfect sense!  Since you're in Australia, when you look up in the sky, you see everything upside-down.  So it's just natural that Mars would be where the Milky Way should be and vice versa.

Logic is misleading :wink:.

people tend to say that they "don't like sweets" so proudly
