I agree with everything Bob said, plus there is big money to be made on this racket.

I can't undestand it ?
American candy is such crap ! ..... Eating cooking chocolate doesn't get me.
My son took me to Costco in Milton Keynes when I was over there and I bought 2 cases of Oreos for the wife for 8 quid (48 packs).... She is a US citizen who seems to think they are awesome ???????

but the same type of price mark ups apply to British food over here, the only difference is that the British stuff is (almost) worth paying the price, and may not kill you in 5 years!
