We just had a delivery too - lovely and fresh compared to the stale stuff in the British Shop.

5 Caramels, 5 Twirls, 4 Mars Bars, 3 Turkish Delight, 2 Rolos and a packet of Wine Gums left

Ya'll better start hoarding. We're reworking the recipe to include bat vomit and used ear plugs. Mwaaa ha ha ha ha.

Spot on, about the "Stale stuff".

Eat it slowly, enjoy every bite.

I'd probably pay good money to see how you're going to harvest that

I have a contact in the anorexic bat community. It's all very top secret with tons of money to be made. I'll probably be killed for this information.

Not long been back in the UK... and guess what I found at Tesco? Reese's PB cups, Nutrageous AND Mike 'n' Ike's! Yay.

Made in USA or under licence?

Jehovah, Jehovah, Jehovah.

Made in the USA... packaged in the UK. At least, that's what it says on the Mike and Ike package I have here. I'll check the PB cups.

Thats when we all get started our Mums feed us Cadbury Chocolate Buttons

Let them melt in their little mouths.

Wait a minute. The candy is made in the US, and put into a box in the UK? Are the jelly beans flown over in vats? What would be the purpose of this? To create jobs?

It would save space in transit?

Doesn't take up as much space on the boat. Löwenbräu beer for instance is brewed in Munich, but gets shipped in ginormous tanks and is bottled locally.

So I was in our local supermarket today and saw a variety of Cadbury's choc bars, unfortunately they are made under licence by Hershey's, which is why I've never bought them in the US.

Out of interest I looked at the ingredients for the Hershey's own brand of choc bars, located next to the Cadbury ones. They definitely had the (evil) high fructose corn syrup, whereas the Hershey's 'Cadbury' brand didn't.

If Kraft is taking over the Cadbury's business, I wonder what will happen to the Cadbury's chocs made under licence here by Hershey's?

(There was also Green & Black's choc bars on the supermarket shelf, love it, but hadn't noticed before that it is made in Italy (or the stuff on sale in my locality is).
