teddogWhen your friend tell you that she's sending a pile of chocolate from the US, you pretty well believe it's going to be a big pile of candy from the US.
Big enough to justify a photo!
THANK YOU SO MUCH,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
slwatson! This is too awesome!
In there is, uh, a lot of candy. There's a massive Symphony with almonds and toffee, a massive Mr. Goodbar (massive is the only word for these, since they're bigger than a king sized bar), 65% cacao Cacao Reserve bar, 2 Take 5 bars (once again, OMGTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU! After some research, I now believe Max 5 is no longer made here), a king sized Hershey's Special Dark, a king sized and a normal sized Hershey's with Almonds (my favorite American candy bar and YES, the Canadian versions don't taste the same), 2 regular Hershey's, a Hershey's Cookies n' Creme, 2 Whatchamacallits, a York Pepperment Pattie and one each of the American versions of KitKat, Rolo and Reeses.
Whatchamacallits are SO DARN GOOD.
My apartment smells like childhood and US road trips. It's amazing.

Date: 2008-02-22 02:55 am (UTC)From what I can tell, in the US they don't have many of the same Nestle and Cadbury bars. They have KitKat and Rolo, but those are made under license by Hershey. Um, they don't have Glosettes, but have Goobers instead. Cadbury is limited to Dairy Milk, Fruit and Nut, Dark and Almond.
They also probably don't have Maynard gummies.... um... actually, these might work well as a guide for us:
