    Just be glad you have penguins. I haven't been able to p.p.p.p.pickup a penguin since moving to the US. Kit Kats aren't the same over here either. Hershey provides the chocolate for them (so they're crap) and there are no different flavours and no kit kat chunky.

    Do they not have British themed sweet shops over there like the American ones on the high street over here, they sell the genuine thing not country specific product. Surely America must have that, they've got most everything else. Or why don't you get a mate/family member to mail you stuff you want?

    Love that peanut butter/chocolate combo. Just buy a jar of your fav brand of peanut butter, buy a kit kat chunky, open her up, smear on the goodness, consume.

    It's to do with the higher sugar content in most chocolate made by big brands over here, Cadbury, Mars, Nestle/Rowntree. American chocolate isn't as sweet but I imagine has more additives. Was down to the war or something, our sweeter stuff.

    No. They do have the occasional international store- and you can actually get some British chocolates there (including... I lied earlier... penguins) but they are bloody expensive. They oughta be made of pure money for that price.


    Actually, more sugar in American chocs than British chocs- but a much lower cocoa content. The other main difference though is that historically American chocolatiers used to use soured milk because it was cheaper than stuff that was sold for regular human consumption.

    They added extra sugar to counteract the sour component. Time went by, slowly they started using higher quality milk, but the public in the US had come to expect chocolate to have a sour sub-taste, so, believe it or not, souring agents are added to American chocolate.

    America, in general, is often more likely to use High Fructose corn syrup instead of real sugar as a sweetening agent due to the abundance of cheap government subsidized maize in the US.

    [different rant for another time that the US subsidizes relative unhealthy crap like maize and soybeans (for green zones) - but doesn't subsidize healthier vegetables/fruits- so our taxes go to help make unhealthy food cheaper and keeps healthy food more expensive... I can understands arguments for AND against farm subsidies... I can't fathom why maize is subsidised over other veggies though]



    Then there is cheese- which in the US they can legally add a decent amount of vegetable oil to and still call in 100% cheese.

    Just shows the passion that Gerrard has and I think the team will want to do this as much for him as themselves. What a leader.

    British sweets in general have always had a high sugar content. However during WW2 and up to 1952/3 both sugar and hence sweets were rationed (even for the kids). Therefore when the ration was lifted us Baby Boomers had a fine time ruining our teeth and setting a pattern for later generations.

    American chocolate is crap compared to cadburys and galaxy, Reese's and as you mention Hershey is bitter and bland, I took some friends Easter eggs and bars of chocolate over a few years ago and they sounded like they were orgasming when they ate it.

    Americans make excellent chewy sweets though and I like lifesavers and jolly ranchers in big bags.:p

    whenever I pop over to our head office I take a couple of boxes of Roses and Quality Street, they last 5mins...
    The chocolate in the States (esp. Hersheys) is phoooking horrendous, it looks and tastes like ****, not that I've tasted ****, who knows, **** may taste better..
