Ohhhhhh. Cadbury used to be widely available here. Now we can only get it
at places that sell imported foods. I believe it is a Canadian brand. I
will look for it.

Cadbury is an English brand. It is their equivalent of Hershey or Nestle,
and not particularly good IMNSHO, although it is better than Hershey. It is
sold in supermarkets here.

I admit a fondness for Mint Aeros, dating back to my schooldays in England.
Since then, they've come out with an orange flavor that is even better. But
the orange is not available here.

and iirc has recently been purchased by mars or mestle, but can't remember

I used to like the Cabury's Quality Street assortment . when I wa a
teenaer I thought it the height of sophiticated candy-imported from
England and that nice tin. How tastes and times change:-)

There was a wonderful very hard butterscotch candy whose name is missing.
something like Cadwallenders,. It came in rectanglar blocks, marked in
squares, wrapped in silver paper in boxes with, IIRC two blocks about
4"x2 2/1" Boy was that good!

Oh all these sinful childhood memories:-)

You tried the Werthers sugar free one ... not bad :-)

I don't think Cherry Ripe has been the same since Cadbury
started making them in the 60's (well they don't taste the same as when
I was a kid :-))

originally made by MacRobertson who was the guy who sponsored the
original London to Australia air race in the 30's
they also made the original Freddo, Old Gold and Snack

Still haven't had one in years ... bugga now you got me thinking about
those cherries coconut and dark chocolate.

Lol. Snack and Freddos don't taste the same to me anymore. Perhaps we
were less discerning when younger

I used to love Fantales but for a few years now they have been rather
unpleasant. And too soft now. I like Werther's, not as good as some but
a pretty good one. Haven't tasted the sugar free ones. I would rather
have a real one every so often. I used to buy a fabulous one in David
Jones food hall but can't remember the brand.

I never liked Werthers but then I can't stand the taste of Butterscotch.

My parents had a bad of the sugar free ones and I warned them not to eat too
many because of the laxative effect. They got very angry with me and said I
was wrong. But later that night I got an apology.

Not bad, but it makes you want to keep eating them and that can result in
gastric explosions!
