Anybody ever get tired of british sweets and basic plain fizzy drink?

I looked around and found cybercandy, went absolutly nuts!

tried all sorts of american stuff like kool aid (it rots ya teeth but I dont care!:D ) new variations of coke, pepsi and american drinks and I even found tab Lucky charms and flipz!

just stuff that is different I guess, I want some root beer and I want to try kool Aid as a lot of people say its nice, and jolt coke too, what other stuff that is different do you reccommend.

guesty
03-09-2006, 11:26 PM
me? oooh well here goes.
I would say get different variations of current soft drinks like cherry vanilla dr pepper, but if ya wanna try something new then yeah jolt cola'll do it for you but its VERY high in caffiene. I recommend mountain dew, mello yello, vanilla pepsi. as for kool aid, grape I did not dig (im not a huge grape fan) but I liked pink lemonade, orange and tropical. If you do like grape well then get some welches grape soda.

as for snacks: pocky (any would do) Hi-chu (this is great, i loved the orange flavour!) Almond M&M's (if you like em or nuts) after eight bars (like the squares but like ...bars.)

any more questions/answers?

Selfridges in Birmingham, in their food hall, have a big American stand of different foods. Aunt Jemima syrup, Marshmallow fluff, Jif (peanut butter) and Lucky Charms, to name a few, but it's bloody expensive. £6.99p for a box of Lucky Charms !!

, Jif !!

:thumb: Best peanut butter out there.

if you're going to get anything get the twinkies you won't regret it (well, your ass and hips might...)

Cheers guys I want to try the grape soda as I like grape flavoured stuff but dont like grapes themselves!
I want to try twinkies as I've never had them. I can't believe there is this place in my own town and i've never even heard of it.

Same here. When I went to New York in 2004 I lived on it for 5 days... and brought loads home. Doofay even brought me some from America to a thesite meet - I had it with vodka. Yuuum.

american chocolate is just nasty :yuck: or at least i think it is! most of it is just way too bitter. even the stuff like snickers/twix taste odd there

same goes for russian chocolate. EW! take my advice - if you go to russia, dont eat the chocolate there. completely gross

besides chocolate - i also love lucky charms :yes: mmm
and before they were brought to the UK a while back, i used to always stock up on 'menthos/mentos' whenever i went to france. theyre yummy

What is it about those crispy stale-like-been-sitting-on-the-floor-for-2-weeks marshmellows thats so good. Makes any cereal fantabalous.

Hershey Reese cups r yummy

I think if you took a bath in mountain dew, you would dissolve due to the high sugar content and I base this on absolutly nothing.

tangerine jelly bellies...yum.

The strangest thing happened yesterday...

After reading this thread i went into town and as my fella and i are obsessed with sweets, we wandered into a shop called 'Sweets from Heaven' and i looked above the pic n mix and there was a shelf full of practically everything thats been mentioned on here.
Fruit Loops, Lucky Charms, Chocolate Lucky Charms, Marshmallow Fluff, Jif peanut butter, Hershey chocolate fudge topping, Reese, Oh Henry, Kool-Aid sachets.

Anyway, 'Sweets from Heaven', there must be more of them round the country surely??
