Dave, I think we've figured out what you can be for Halloween...

I don't really like Kit Kats. My US friends beg me to bring them over when I go there because ours are apparently way nicer than yours. I wouldn't know personally.

That's what I keep telling them, I also take a ton of Galaxy Caramels. I'm trying to convince them of the wonder of Jaffa Cakes, I've sold one of them on Wine Gums.

Re: The General Kit Kat Thread
This thread is giving me cravings. That's not good.
Speaking of Cadbury... Easter's over, right?

Ooooh, I used to love those when I was a kid ^^ Also the anise candy that came in a similar tin.

Re: The General Kit Kat Thread
Not sure if they have online ordering available, but if you're in the Cincy area, this is THE place for International goodies:

My wife and I- being the global-minded pseudo-nuevo-granolas we are- always gave our kids' international Easter baskets with candies from around the world, forever. All purchased from the linked location.
Curly Wurlys are just the beginning.

+1 on Jungle Jim's. A whole corner of the store is dedicated just to hot sauce. The Eastgate location also has 3 varieties of Jolt Cola along with an unrivaled selection of Pez dispensers.mojoryan wrote:Not sure if they have online ordering available, but if you're in the Cincy area, this is THE place for International goodies:

I haven't been to the Eastgate location yet, but along with the international candies available, the original location has a ginormous selection of American candies as well. Including a respectable Pez assortment.

Since the sad, sorry demise of the mighty Mars Delight candy bar, I really don't care about any candy bars. If I'm desperate, I'll settle for a UK Mars.

No, in May we took a short vacation that included Jungle Jim's and the zoo on the way down to Pidgeon Forge and then Nashville. The Eastgate location is much better than the original location. New building, more space, better lay out, more soda, and more Pez. Love me some blue cream Frostie Soda!mojoryan wrote:You're in the Cincy area?rsimms3 wrote:+1 on Jungle Jim's.
