My local garage has started selling Hershey's chocolate. Any good or like every other US import, rubbish??
Depends if you like the taste of baby sick not
I find rhubarb and custard sweets a bit hit and miss. Get them from Asda or Sainsburys and they're a bit bland.
I'm currently working my way through a bag from Aldi and the rhubarb flavouring is nice and tangy, the way I remember them when I was a boy.

It tastes a bit like those Easter eggs you used to get that had to be labelled "chocolate flavoured." PeterPoddy would probably love it.
It must be getting on now but I am pretty sure I have not have a second Walnut Whip since the walnut was removed from the base, inside

Ah, dog chocolate. No hint of cocoa.
I'm just going to throw this out there but... Haribo - the texture of dead skin but with added sugar. Totally lacking the moist gooiness of jelly babies or wine gums.
Totally agree on the decline of Cadbury's, it seams like bad business as their biggest market was the UK and so many people have stopped buying it since Kraft then Mondelez took over.
Mondelez is a rebadge of Kraft IIRC.
We took the girls to Bournville, where Cadburys' World is big on the founding Quaker principles and on Fairtrade, both of which Kraft dropped like hot bricks when they took over.
Any citrus flavoured jelly based sweet annoys me. On a long drive, the Mrs says "would anyone like a fruit pastille?" and I end up with the green or yellow junk that I can't get the taste out of my mouth for hours.
I'll be honest if chocolate didn't melt it's all I'd buy for travel sweets. Werthers being the only exception.
And when will I learn that four pack of chocolate bars are tiny. They may be on offer for £1 but it's a false economy if I have to eat 3 in one go.

Apparently half the amount of cocoa solids as Dairy Milk. Not that Dairy Milk is the gold standard of chocolate, but like most proper British chocolate (which is presumably mostly a similar recipe) it is at least bearable.

Though given apparent legal requirements for British chocolate, I wonder how they're allowed to sell it here - is it indeed labelled as "chocolate flavoured"?
