I sent my British friend 8.9 pounds of chocolate bars today... |
|
Hershey's, Nestle's, you name it. He only recently tried American chocolate, and needed more. :)

1. Speaking of chocolate: Where's the Mars Bars? |
|
I haven't seen that candy bar in the store or anywhere for a long time. Those were very good. Anyone seen them around?

I told him that's why we are so fat.... |
|
But he wanted them anyway. Maybe people want what they can't easily get.

Hershey is the same inferior product as Cadbury. Contains fat other than cacao butter - it isn't even considered chocolate in wide parts of the civilized word.
</Chocolate Snob>
Also I have to wonder- getting bars from anywhere in the world (US, Japan, South America, ...) is hardly a problem here (Berlin), I am amazed that it is a problem in the UK.

I'm sick of being hated by Britons. The prejudice I've run into for being American is unfortunate. It's worse in Canada though, methinks.

4. No disrespect, but most American chocolate isn't up to much |
|
I prefer continental (European) dark chocolate, but British milk chocolate tastes better than American.
What American chocolate does Nestle produce? Did they buy some American company, the way they bought Rowntree's in Britain?

9. Did you send him Reese's Fast Break? |
|
That delectable merger of nougat, peanut butter, and choclate? I couldn't imagine coming back to anything else after you eat your first Fast Break.
