DaveGilbert Posted October 2, 2009 Quote Oh, and until yesterday I confused Dave Gilbert with Dave Grossman... Maybe because his name is a fusion of Grossman's and Ron Gilbert's? Somewhere out there is my long lost twin brother, Ron Grossman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted October 2, 2009 eljay said: I don't know about Australia, but in the UK they're very different to Twix. Little biscuit balls wrapped in a caramel tube coated in chocolate is an approximate description. I go through phases of loving them and having to eat them frequently to not eating them for a couple of years.The main reason I never mentioned it to you guys (Chris, Jake, Nick) is that I had no idea it didn't exist in the states. It's a fairly common Cadbury's bar and I know Cadbury's has some kind of presence in the US, although the exported versions taste weird. Cadbury's exists in the US but almost exclusively the Easter related candies (Creme Eggs and spinoffs, mostly). You can find some other Cadbury's candies here but they're almost exclusively in sort of novelty candy shops. Not in a supermarket checkout aisle or whatever.

I can't decide if that sounds awesome or not. I'd probably be disappointed if I walked into one and wasn't greeted with Gene Wilder being completely insane. Living in the US these days, I do miss chocolate. Although I do like a Baby Ruth bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I finished school in Bray, (a town a bit south of Dublin) and put away many a dairy milk. I keep trying to get my housemate to try a flake, but he won't, the big loser. They're around but you've got to hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Novelty" is probably too strong a word, especially since they're starting to become chains. Places like Powell's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SoulChicken Posted October 2, 2009 syntheticgerbil said: They sell that Cadbury 's Fruit and Nut bar at Target year round.Fascinating. Made by Hershey, this one is pretty widespread. Tastes rubbish though, nothing like the real thing. That broke my heart not long ago. In New York there are a few shops that import ALL of the English chocolate bars and sell them to expats like me for exhorbitant amounts of cash. I paid $12 for a small bottle of Ribena once. I had to turn tricks in order to afford milk chocolate hobnobs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just like the Orangina available here in the States is actually not the same as the stuff available in France, since it's bottled by Mott's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eljay Posted October 3, 2009 Psych said: The only difference between that and a Twix is the shape of the biscuit/cookie in the candy bar... It makes a massive difference to the texture of the bar, the Twix has a much denser caramel log sitting atop a biscuit bar, it's more rigid and brittle. Whereas the Boost's small biscuit balls are suspended in a soft potentially chocolate based substance and the surrounding caramel is a thin layer, making it much softer and more flexible.
