18, but only regularly ate about 4 or 5 .

Cadbury Flake and Aero; love those 2 but they don't sell 'em here in the US.

57 - shame they didn't mention Star Bars. Hated Parma Violets though and Opal fruits tasted better than Star Bursts.

53. Pineapple chunks and kola kubes! Any temperature above freezing and they had more sticking power than a tube of Araldite!

They don't sell ANY chocolate in the US - Hershey's products taste like a dog has already eaten them.......... twice.............

The KitKat in the UK has a rich thick Chocolate taste while the American KitKat is light in comparison.

Also whos bright idea was it to do away with the tin foil wrapping on KitKat; it just doesn't feel right, sort of like how drinking soda from a glass bottle tastes soo much better than drinking from a plastic bottle.

Surprisingly I scored 39 - some I'd never heard of but also think chocolate should never be contaminated with nuts or coconut and licorice is obviously made by the devil along with Turkish delight

Useless bit of info, in Southern Cyprus they don't sell Turkish Delight, they sell Cypriot Delight.

It's exactly the same.

Totally agree. Is there any American chocolate that tastes like chocolate?

Ethos83 is an unknown quantity at this point

Yes.

People on the continent are probably laughing at the British complaining about American chocolate.

Yeah, you're not wrong there. Much the same as they laugh at our complaining about American beer.
