I'm sitting here trying to think if there's a chocolate candy I don't like. Nope. :wavey: My faves:

Reese's PB cup (original only, none of that inside out or double chocolate crap!)
York peppermint Patty
Skor or Heath
Baby Ruth
Cadbury Creme egg
Watchamacallit (used to LOVE these - do they even make them anymore?)
Dove dark or Hershey's Special Dark
Any Lindt chocolate

Also love chocolate covered raisins, peanuts or cherries.

Is it really that hard to find over there? I'm beginning to feel sorry for you guys :p

skcin 09-21-2007 12:49 PM

^ So they DID discontinue it? Bastards. :(

Every single day when I was around 15, I would go to the store, buy a pack of Marlboro Lights, a 20oz Diet Coke & a Watchamacallit. Yeah, I was a real health nut. Those were the good old days.

And I dunno, I never really looked. I'm sure I could get some in Canada on the black market or something. :D

Not here they haven't! They're always stocked in the dining halls on campus and I always see them in vending machines in most places.

I had to solve the mystery :laugh: Apparently it's still available :) Your life can start anew :woohoo:

And Canada is useful for something? I don't believe this at all.

Ooooh that looks dangerous for me! Well I just did a little online research and it turns out there is a World Market just about an hour from me - so if they carry the same stock as the one in New Mexico I'm all set :D

By the way - it was Dairy Milk Bubbly I tried...haven't tried the other varieties. Flake has been my favorite for a while though. I still have three at home that I'm trying to ration :p


As far as American crap goes I enjoy:

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Twix (caramel and peanut butter)
Snickers
Kit Kat


Those are my top pics...but really I never met a chocolate bar I didn't like...oh except the nasty Russian chocolate a friend sent me. That was not so good.

i know. it is hard to believe. i am still not sure i can get the Brit chocolate there though, so they may still be useless. next time i go i'll look into it & keep you posted.
