You guys don't see Aero bars much? Mmm Yummy.

M&Ms > Smarties. But I'm not a big candy/chocolate guy anyway. We use to have Aero bars here back when I was little. Been years since I've seen one though.

It didn't seem anything special, just had air bubbles in it.
Same store had a large selection of British stuff, Wheatabix, Heinz soups, canned bread pudding, etc.

Hershey's Kissables are actually pretty good too.. I haven't had them enough to really determine if they are better than M&M's or not, but they seem really tasty.

But M&M's rock.

I'm not much of a chocolate candy person though. I love candy on its own, but not chocolate candies, not all that much. Me, I prefer a really good piece of chocolate or two or a handful, or squares off of a really good chocolate bar. Dark chocolate preferably, milk chocolate is too sweet and creamy. But I don't want 70 or 80% dark either, way too bitter. 60% is a happy medium for dark.

Living in Canada and not travelling to the States much I get used to having a lot of British Co. products around all the time. Wheatabix, and Heinz soups are a staple here. There are things that are alien here that are common in Britain though. Canned bread pudding is one, mushy peas is another.

Plus we have our own candy called Smarties... they suck. Nasty little hard sour discs of mouth displeasure.

All that stuff can be found at a specialty stores. I know at least two stores I've been to carry that stuff.

Not like here. Sure as others have said you can get them in speciality stores but they don't have them, and a number of others, at every corner store you go to like here.
