sorry, in every bite - I thought I edited it immediately after posting that but I guess something screwed up....

So what's everyday chocolate in the UK? Cadbury's? I wonder if the Cadbury's we have over here is the same as what you have over there. It's certainly wildly different than Hershey's, which is hardly the best chocolate around, and, I think, many of their different chocolate products use different sorts of chocolate. For example, the chocolate in Kisses tastes much different to me than in the plain bar.

Out of curiosity, did the Hershey's taste waxy to you?

Cadbury's Milk Chocolate in the UK would be fairly representative of UK chocolate. I can't for the life of me remember whether the US version is the same though.

I'd agree that some US chocolate tastes waxy, and some just tastes nasty (to me). But that's in line with other US candy. Whoever thought that candy that tastes like smokers toothpaste would be appealing was wrong. It really bugs me when I don't expect it - there I am enjoying a pack of candy, a multititude of pleasant flavors delighting my tastebuds and all of a sudden they're violently assaulted. It's just not right.

We don't have Cadbury Twirl here. I wonder if I can find some while I'm in Stockholm in a couple weeks to bring back with me.

And I think I'm due for a trip south to get some Cheerwine after I get back.

Mmmmm, Cheerwine, good stuff. Haven't had it since summer camp years ago.
