Hubby is a huge fan of Sour Skittles and Twizzlers.
He used to buy the huge plastic box of Twizzlers for the office on our jaunts back home.
I forgot all about Blow Pops until I read this topic, I miss them :(
Good things come to those who wait...a really long time.

reese's cups- less common, but I've seen them at Woolworth's.

Dang this thread!  I've not had a Reeses peanut butter cup for ages, so I popped into Woolworths when I was in city centre today.  Well, there is evidence of Woolworths having Reeses peanut butter cups!!!!  But the carton was empty. [smiley=bigcry.gif]

So they must be popular!  Oh well, better for my waistline & weak willpower. :P

Mine too!!  He loves Wendy's and I love the Chili salad.  Wendy's was the only fast food place in my university town and it was right next to campus.  Yum!

I think Wendy's chili is like Marmite - you either love it or hate it.

I LOVE Reeses.  I keep seeing the Reeses Nutrageous ones in Morrisons, but Ive not seen the peanut butter cups ever, over here! I think a trip to Woolworths is in order this weekend... thanks Andrea  :)

Has anyone else noticed that Brits dont seem as peanut butter crazy? And I get some STRANGE looks at lunch time when i occasionally bring in a PB&J sandwich! :o

The carton (for Reeses peanut butter cups) on the shelf at our Woolworths was empty all week!  Today, they had taken away the empty carton & just shuffled some other candy bars into that spot on the shelf.  Still no joy! [smiley=bigcry.gif]
