I snuck out to get these and other penny cany boxes like Alexander the Grape and also Bazooka Joe for me and my friends. Went to Hinchey's during 4th grade recesses. Through the fence, into the alley, over the tire and the dead pigeon.
Returned change. Never thought to charge a profit.
Wow!! I totally made up whoppers and payday based on what I could see (without trying other things, the first attempts) and they were right! just based on the letters I could see. ( I also made up lemonhead (and limehead after that) which is as good as right aswell but less surprising.)
I had never heard of these, not in the slightest. So I am pretty amazed how your mind can put something together with the tiniest bit of visual info.
Never heard of york either. Of the list We have snickers, twix, kitkat, (at some point skittles not sure if we still have them, but we didnt have them untill somewhere after 2000s) toblerone, crunch and smarties. So there are a few on here we don't have, but I have still heard of.
Cadbury is a British company but they are famous in the USA, as well. Mostly for their Cadbury Creme Eggs, which are a disgusting seasonal confectionery. Like Peeps. Better off not knowing.
Is it? Where exactly? Cadbury's Dairy Milk is just a chocolate bar made by Cadbury, founded in Birmingham in England. Now that brand must be considered American, as it was bought by Kraft in 2010 (thanks wiki).
Cadbury eggs taste to me something like big chocolate-covered cherries without the cherries. I love Cadbury Creme Eggs at Easter, but they're so rich I can only handle a little at a time, and with their runny "egg white and yolk in the middle" they are not conducive to eating only one bite. My favorite Cadbury bar is Caramello. Both of these are sold at Walmart in the US among other places. At least with the convenient divisions it is easy to eat only a bite or two of a Caramello.
Ander did a great job of describing what creme eggs taste like; I couldn't have put it into words. I am not a fan but they are an Easter staple all the same.
Cabury carmel eggs are amazing. It's a thin chocolate egg filled with semi-liquid caramel.
York Peppermint Patties with their white peppermint cream filling coated in chocolate were created in the US at York, Pennsylvania and are now owned by American company Hershey - no connection to Yorkie candy bars. The Smarties shown in the photo are the US sugary tablet-shaped fruit-flavored candies owned by Smarties, no relation to the chocolate candies found in the UK currently produced by Nestle. Nestle also now owns Kit Kat but in the US it is made by Reese's, which is now owned by Hershey. Skittles were made in the UK in the 1970s but have been produced in the US since 1982 by Wrigley, which is now owned by Mars, a US multinational company. Twix was first made in the UK in 1967 but is also now owned by Mars. Cadbury is now owned by Mondelez, an American multinational corp that also owns Kraft Foods. It's difficult to find any family-owned confectionary companies anymore. Of your list, Smarties is the only one I see and it's American, although its founder was an English immigrant.
20/20, I eat a LOT of candy. But the one I wait for all year is the Cadbury cream egg. They made me so happy when they started making a Halloween version. There is also a caramel filled version which is even better than the yolk/cream.
In the UK we only have snickers, cadbury, twin, tolerance, crunch, kit kat, smarties and skittles. Things like Reeses and Hersheys are rarely sold in shops here but i've heard of them. However I've never heard of Payday, York, Whoppers, Jelly, Belly, Tootsie Roll or Lemonheads.
I've see Hershey's, Reese's, and York Peppermint Patties sold all over the place including all over Europe. Tootsie Rolls, Lemonheads, and Jelly Bellies I've seen here and there, but not as often. Jelly Bellies are often found in high-end hotel minibars and boutique shopping malls, similar to Toblerone. Payday and Whoppers I don't recall seeing anywhere outside of the United States... maybe at a Duty Free shop or in an issue of Skymall if anywhere.
Crunch used to be called "Dairy Crunch" in UK, is that more familiar to you? It's a chocolate bar with rice Krispies in it. (Inside of Crunchies is honeycomb).
If you’d ever done safety checks on kids’ trick or treat candy, you'd easily know it. The Tootsie Roll minis seemed to be a favorite Halloween candy to put in the bags.
Why does it still have to be "Lemonheads" instead of just "Lemonhead"? The actual name of the candy is Lemonhead, singular. It seems strange to require the plural form for it to be accepted.
Twix is from the UK, Toblerone from Switzerland, Nestle Crunch also from Switzerland, KitKat from the UK again, Smarties UK again, Cadbury UK again and Skittles UK again.
Tried "jelly beans" like ten times and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working. They're at a "Kleenex" or "Band-Aid" status for me, where the brand names and product feel interchangeable, so I didn't even consider that it's something other than just "jelly beans." But fair enough. That's definitely the Jelly Belly logo.
Sorry, but the pedant in me can't help but point out that you're using the genericization of trademarks in the opposite sense, here. If you thought "jelly belly" was a generic term for "jelly beans", you would have been typing "jelly belly" when you mean "jelly bean", not "jelly bean" when you mean "Jelly Belly".
I said Lemonhead twice and I didn't get it; Maybe change it to where you can guess it without the s? To me, it makes sense because there is one head but I guess you can argue that for anything.
Cadbury's was one of the big chocolate companies set up in Britain 200 years ago by quaker businessmen worried about drinking (the 'Gin Craze') among the newly urban, industrial poor. They saw confectionary as a healthier, socially advantageous alternative and championed model working environments for their staff.
The big three, Cadbury's, Fry's and Rowntree's, became major companies through the Victorian era and then exported widely across the former British empire, which is why some of their products are still very recognisable to Canadians, Australians and Kiwis.
Cadbury's Dairy Milk bars are the staple chocolate bars for most British kids in the way that Hershey's bars are to American children.
But all three companies have since been bought by multinationals, with Cadbury's being sold in 2010 - a deal that caused some controversy in the UK because it is seen as such a British institution.

I just liked to leave school
