Yes..we have Snickers. It used to be called Marathon and was then changed as that was the universal name.

i remember a marathon bar when i was a kid - but i thought it was some kind of chewy taffy thing.
you guys have american candy bars?
16th January 2008 07:47 PM
Gazza Generally, we dont. Companies like Cadburys, Rowntrees etc tend to have that niche sewn up!

sad.....
a life with no butterfinger, milky way, clark bar, three musketeers, mounds, kit kat, chunky (with and without nuts and raisins), 5th avenue, mars bars, oh henry, zero bars (i remember those only at little league games when i was a kid), nestle's crunch, the basic hershey bar, and of course, REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS!

no wonder the occurance of diabetes is high here.

gorda If chocolate had not been invented, I would probably be skinny.

I love chocolate! I eat or drink it every day!

I love to make hot cocoa with those little instant Swiss Mocha packets. Just add hot water! (Sometimes, I'll add milk.)

I also like M and M's, Snicker's, Milky Ways, Butterfingers, Almond Joys, Crunch bars, and of course Hershey bars with Almonds.

Oh, and Almond Roca bars!

I also like German Chocolate Cake. And, I love Rocky Road ice cream.

But, my absolute favorite are See's chocolates, but they are very expensive. So, I never buy them. I only eat them if someone gives them to me as a gift.

P.S. You know, I just thought of something . . . Why can't I go out and buy myself a box of See's chocolates? Maybe, I will do that today!

WHEN IT COMES TO CHOCOLATE, IT'S ALL GOOD!

gorda I just remembered something!

When I was about 4, my mom used to make a bottle for my baby brother, and I would demand a bottle, too! Rather than argue with me, my mom would make me one! And, I remember I would insist that she add Nestle's Quik to it!

Chocolate Mama! You forgot the chocolate!

I was a brat!

P.S. Yes, I am self-absorbed and self-centered! Somehow, I turn every thread into something about ME!

MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
16th January 2008 08:46 PM
gorda I just remembered something else, my ex-boyfriend . . . the only way he could get me to . . . NEVERMIND!

I think y'all can guess!

I've done some crazy things for the love of chocolate!
16th January 2008 09:35 PM
texile gorda, your passions are unquenchable...
a very sexy thing.
chocolate is a drug.....
and i'd forgotten about nestle's quick, m&ms etc...

Sioux Ghirardelli's for me.....dark chocolate. And they even make a brownie mix. And I HATE mixes. But this is to die for. Underbake about 5 minutes, and they are SO chocolatey....

I've always wanted to order See's chocolates. They are out of San Francisco, right? I had a catalog once.....Godiva chocolates are good too. I guess I mostly love expensive, dark chocolate.

But Reese's peanut butter cups are totally addictive.

glencar Well, I had the Cadbury's & it was good. Slightly better than Hershey's. It was a regular milk bar. Nothing great.

JohnLeeHacker Origins: When nineteen police, on a tip-off, raided a party at Keith Richards' estate in February of 1967 in search of illegal drugs, Richards, Mick Jagger, Marianne Faithfull, and six other male guests were lounging about a downstairs room watching TV and listening to music. Faithfull wore only a large, orange fur bedcover that she had wrapped around herself after taking a bath a little while earlier. The police searched the house and the persons in it, gathered various pieces of evidence, and left. A month later, Richards and Jagger were summoned before the court on drug charges. By the time the trial started at the end of June, a rumor had already started spreading that when the police arrived at Redlands, "they had interrupted an orgy of cunnilingus in which Jagger had been licking a Mars candy bar pushed into Marianne's vagina."

Highwire Rob I recall something called a Penguin bar from my childhood in England. They were damn good with tea.

[edit] Here it is...

a Stones fan should know that a Mars bar is easy to find in the UK, I would have thought.

As are all the Mars and Nestle products listed above which are made in the UK.

Beer, most definitely; chocolate, not by a long shot--Brit chocolate is usually much too milky.
