American Candy

welsh_girl · 03-26-2012, 02:31 PM

More and more American Candy shops are opening up here, but srsly, everything I've brought so far has been horrible (and really pricey)

Please, Americans, what "sweets" of yours are good?

I've tried and disliked: Hershey's, Friut Loops, Tootsie Pops, anything Peanut Butter, Pretzels... that I can remember.

I like Nerds, Lucy Charms, Pop Tarts and stuff from memory.

Halp me please, what is good? And drinks, too.

Snicker's, Reese's, M&M's...idk. Blow pops are good (: They got gum inside em ^^ And uh..TWIX OHMYGOD. <3
Yep. That's my contribution xD
Oh, twizzlers are pretty good too. (:

Dove chocolate and twizlers

**Oni-Paranoia** · 03-26-2012, 03:05 PM

'Sweets' I eat,

M&Ms
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
KitKats
Snickers
Twix
Three Musketeers (once in awhile)
Fruit Roll Ups ~ Fruit by the Foot
Gushers
Airheads
Pop Rocks
Jolly Ranchers

All I can think of at the moment. But I stick with the common flavors for each of the fruity sweets (cherry or strawberry.)

Jolly Ranchers are the bomb, try em out.

welsh_girl · 03-26-2012, 03:08 PM

We do get things like, M&M's, Snickers and Twix here (although we only have three choices of M&M's and one choice of Twix and Snickers as standard)

I did try a drink too, but I cant remember what it was, I'm sure it was a completely Yellow can and it was disgusting lol. It cost £1.50 too.

Try Butter Fingers and 3 musketeers, they're my favorite candy-bars

**yo man im awesome** · 03-26-2012, 03:36 PM

KIT KATS

so delicious

**ichliebekase** · 03-26-2012, 03:37 PM

How in the world can someone not like Hershey's chocolate ?_?

And go for Twix, M&M's, 100 Grands, Milky Way, just about anything with caramel.

**Bluearrowll** · 03-26-2012, 03:39 PM

Actually, I've heard that Hershey's is extremely unpopular in the UK and nearby nations, and how they're always full on the shelves in grocery stores and the like.

welsh_girl · 03-26-2012, 03:44 PM

Bluearrowll is right. It's because we have Cadbury's which is made with real milk ("Glass and a half") and to a lot of people here they think Hershey's is very sugary rather than Chocolate milky like Cadbury's products.

We have Kit Kats, too :P I love Kit Kat Chunkys! (And Milky Ways nom)

I don't know how nobody has said Skittles yet unless I missed it. I also hate chocolate so I can't help much with chocolate stuff.

**kommisar** · 03-26-2012, 04:34 PM

jolly ranchers
starburst
reese
kit kat (shut up I fucen love these)
kinder bueno

take any of these and dip them in nutella

for beverages, I highly enjoy jones soda

**andy-o24** · 03-26-2012, 04:40 PM

Mr. Goodbar and Zero Bars are pretty good, imo. I guess Gatorade is good?

**wildfireskunk** · 03-26-2012, 05:01 PM

As a fellow UK denizen here, the only things I've found which are really worthwhile (other than poptarts) are Jolly Ranchers, Marshmallow Fluff, and Nerdz.

I'm not a big fan of your chocolate... If you Americans get a chance to get a bar of UK chocolate (Cadburys or Galaxy specifically), give it a go! Much milkier

Also, I TOTALLY want to order some Jolly Ranchers from Amazon. Shipping = boo :<

My mum had a friend who was from the UK, she'd always get candy from her parents back home and would send us so much when she'd go home to visit as well. Cadbury's chocolate is SO MUCH BETTER than Hershey's. I loved everything from them, especially the chocolate eggs filled with cream IIRC that those were something they made? So damn good <3

I honestly don't really eat anything chocolate that's made in the US anymore...except Reese's Cups. Everything else just doesn't taste as good :/
