My ex-girlfriend was from the UK and always said the chocolates here were so much sweeter, too. Didn't stop her from eating them constantly. My mum still sends her Lemonheads now that she's returned to UK. As for buying over here, best bet is any of the dollar stores (everything is a dollar, including the bite sized packs of candy bars) or some the shopping club stores that specialize in bulk at warehouse prices (although some require a membership). Give me a shopping list since I frequent them often being a cheap, broke bastard LOL

I'd be happy to give ANYONE a shopping list that feels like actually doing it...
I'm talking about the kinda stuff you guys probably just get at your supermarkets? To name a few of the things I'm talking about, a few that I have seen and/or heard of *Nutter Butter? *French Vanilla INSTANT coffee *reeses cups? *Babe ruth, ZAGNUT, 5th avenue?? *Hersheys stuff (we get i here, but not a great range at all) *All kinds of gum *like...sodas? In particular, I have friend that wants some "faygo", little icp freak... *And again...the kool-aide...I LOVED the one I tried, like tropical punch.... So, there's more or less exactly the kinda stuff I'm after..., any more suggestions ppl? Keep 'em coming. Thanks for all the help so far, all of you. - B

We have mars and snickers bars too, twix, starburst AND quite a few types of gummi's, it's just the more interesting stuff that we don't really get here. Cereals in particular.
Just pretty average stuff...I SUPPOSE we have a pretty decent chocolate called cadbury, as far as chocolate goes...your stuff is just different styled, tastes completely different. So hit me up, whats the best place for all the junk I mentioned? OH YEAH, and root beer, we don't get root beer...or "40's"

if you really want the different stuff, you should look at the website i said earlier. (foodtv.com) they have the common stuff and the really old stuff that's a little harder to find in stores. look at the shows The Best Of and Unwrapped, Unwrapped probly moreso than The Best Of. Hope that helps :)
no root beer or kool aide...i'm sorry Oh!! do you have the accent? ohh my...i love that accent...drool...Russel Crowe...Hugh Jackman...

Screw getting the website mark-up prices, Cheeba. You cover the cost and shipping and I will be more than happy to pick them up for you.
CK PS Snickers is not the same here either. The ex has scientifically proven that all junk food is not the same LOL. Seriously, PM me a shopping list and I actually will pick them up. I'm a junk foodaholic myself so I wouldn't be going out of my way.

Mayo, I don't have the russel crowe kind of accent, I have the more Hugh Jackman kind of accent, if ever you've heard him on an interview...uh...yeah.
Unfortunately, while I am finding the website you referred to me quite interesting (can you actually watch the shows online???), I am having trouble navigating to a specific point that just gives me a big old list of candy with pictures. Do you know if it's possible to come across one of those on there? I'm not so good with the navigation bit...thankyou... Darth, that would be awesome beyond awesome if you could do that for me...I'd be happy to (as I have organised with someone else good enough to send over some things) send you over, yknow, some vegemite, beer and/or australian wine (which we do pretty damn well)....and, uh, boomerangs? Youd probably dig that cadbury chocolate too, have you seen it? Anyway, that's all I can think of, but no doubt there's more. ok then..I shall go cruise the sites. - B.

Cheeba...We have all of the Cadbury's chocolates, too...Caramello...The Cadbury Easter Eggs at Easter, but those are kinda gross except for the ones that are filled with chocolate fudge...
The most expensive chocolates that we have here are Godiva Chocolates...They have a website...I'd say that's available everywhere...I think it's supposed to be the best in the world or something...I used to buy them for birthday presents and stuff...

Forgot to add...
Personally...I don't think the Godiva Chocolates are any better than Hershey's...Perhaps I'm too unrefined to appreciate it:rolleyes: ...lol
