British Sweets

[wishspirit]

I have never seen the Polo tag line as something comical, its just a sweet with a hole in it!

Cadbury chocolate is amazing, much better than Hersheys.

Blackjacks are licorice, and I personally don't like them. They usually come with fruit salads too, which are much nicer!

Oh yes, Cadbury's is much, much nicer than Hershey's, though our chocolate in the UK is of a much sweeter variety.

I had heard of Polo's "The mint with the hole" tagline but sounds much funnier when Pete says it

I am partial to a bit of Ghiradelli tho!
Some friends (who we met on the Disney Wonder on our honeymoon) from Colorado just sent us a box full of Mountain Dew, Combos and Ghiradelli, wonderful!

It's kind of like a lemon/lime based drink, but it's almost radioactive!
I used to love it when they sold it over here but damn PepsiCo saw fit to take it off sale so I drink as much as I can when I'm in America

I really don't like Mountain Dew but give me some root beer and I'm happy

I know the crew liked the Cadburys Roses we took them last Dec and Corey enjoyed the licorice allsorts

As you guys have said I never questioned that Polos have a hole?! It just describes them. Is it me or did they used to say the mint with the hole?
FYI you can (used to be able to) get the holes!

I don't think you can still get them, but they were pretty cool

Cadbury chocolate is made by Hershey.

"Accordingly, although the Cadbury group's chocolate products have been sold in the US since 1988 under the Cadbury name, the chocolate itself has been manufactured by Hershey's and can be found in Hershey's chocolate stores."

The US cadburys is, ours over here isn't

The US versions are slightly different in the recipes. Canada's and Ireland's Cadbury versions are better.

So true! My local Cadbury Shop were selling the US versions of Creme Egg's...I certainly wouldn't be eating any more of them if they were my first ever ones!!

I love cadbury. Ironically, I believe American Cadburry is made at the Hershey's plant.

I'll have to beg you to bring be some cadbury bars on the next cruise. I can find the actual imported ones here, but they are not cheap.

I didn't know that they still did fruit polos!

What's best is that UK Cadbury chocolate is going fair trade this summer, giving a fair wage to workers in the developing world, without upping the price! Big thumbs up for Cadbury, I will definitely be buying more!! I already try and avoid Nestle due to their bad ethical trading (my university refuses to stock them as well as Coca-Cola products).

More reason to buy yummy chocolate!

Just let me know what you want - as long as it fits in the suitcase

About time too, if the Co-Op can do it

Our local Mr. Bulkys carries UK chocolate bars. I love them. We discovered an Irish chocolate bar the other day. Its the only kind we eat. I am disappointed when I go in and they are out of them.
