4. Crunch bar
only available in the UK or at specialty shops. Fantastic candy bar. As is the Flake bar. I've also been known to crumble a Flake bar over ice cream.

Actually, British candy in general is better than American candy. The only candy bar we make here that's any good, IMO, is Skor.

8. My wife loves the "Lion" bar...
It seems like British candy is pretty damn good. She mentioned the "Crunchie" bar, too...

29. No idea, but it sounds like
Chevy Chase's type of humor, so I'll guess "Fletch."

30. good guess
It's "Hocus Pocus" with Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker as witches. Hilarious movie.

20. Zeros in Canada are way way different.
Up here Zero's are pure chocolate and like an airy truffle and are to be kept in freezers. How shocking it is to discover something masquarading as a Zero. What a travesty! :)

19. If you don't know Zero you don't know happiness.
Zero's may be one of those chocolate bars availble here in Canada but not in the US. They are sort of like a very airy truffle. They're named Zero's because they are meant to be stored in freezers and eaten cold. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM:)

28. I'm becoming a candy snob
(I'm already a wine and produce snob, so this is probably expected.)

We've been buying varietal chocolate, as well as imported flavored kinds (hazelnut, raspberry).

If there is a box in my house of those, it will be gone in a few days. I have no willpower or self control when it comes to those little devils. :D

55. What about Salo, "Ukraine's Snickers"



You can understand why she's in no rush to eat it - the Ukrainian student has just been served pork fat covered in chocolate.

Chocolate salo: Salty on the inside, sweet on the outside
"It's salty on the inside and very sweet on the outside. It's unusual yes, but it's completely disgusting," says Dasha Khabarova.

Forget deep-fried Mars bar. One of the unhealthiest snacks in the world can now be found in Ukraine. For years people here have loved pork fat, known as salo.
