UK launch for overseas products?
« on: November 15, 2004, 05:15:26 pm »

Which products currently only available overseas would you like to see launched here in Blighty? Maybe a good idea for a poll, ChocAdmin?


My personal suggestions would be: Oh Henry (US bar with caramel, peanuts and fudge - sorry peanut-hating Paulham, but I adore it), Peanut Butter Twix (self-explanatory) and Reese's Pieces (imagine peanut butter M and Ms).


Of those I have never tried but would love the chance to: Cadbury's Snack (not the biscuit - the Aussie alternative to the old Milk Tray Bar), Cadbury's Peppermint Roll (a bit like a cross between Rolos and After Eights), After Eight Royale (Canadian After Eight bar) and Terry's Chocolate Raspberry (Chocolate Orange but, well, raspberry flavoured.)


Be good to hear all the various suggestions!

Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Hmm good question! Well:



White chocolate M&M's,

Cherry Ripe,

Caramilk (Cadbury version of Caramac),

and...all the unusual KitKat falvours we have yet to try!

CHERRY RIPE AND CHERRY MASH. PEPPERMINT ROLL AND AFTER EIGHT ROYAL.

Old but spicey!

Don't forget peanut-hating Goldencup, Smurfboy!  I am struggling to imagine anything worse than a peanut butter Twix.


Cherry Ripes are nothing special but Cabana fans will probably like them.  .. Peppermint Roll and After Eight Roll both sound interesting.  Cadbury's Snack is nothing like as good as the old Milk Tray Bar because Aussie milk chocolate tastes disgusting.

All the different flavour Kit Kats would be a good inclusion. As would Tootsie Rolls, Tootsie Pops, All the Hershey Bites and Caramel Pixie.


Also the different Oreo flavours are fantastic.

Dont forget that a lot of overseas products arent very likely to be
launched over here. We already have a lot of different new products
clogging up the chocolate shelves and the rate Nestle are going they
will need their own special Kit Kat shops to sell all of the varieties
of them.



Dont be surprised if Masterfoods launch a new white chocolate product
next year though...last year it was Maltesers, this year Twix...what
could be next?

Tootsie Rolls are a bit boring I think. Plus the namereminds me of people's toes.

Bleh, I hate tootsie rolls - always used to trade those with my brother for better candy.


I wouldn't mind seeing York Peppermint Patties over here, but then again I can always just smush a few After Eights together. Also, I would love to try caramel M&Ms - they sound yummy.

I think peanut butter flavoured Twix sounds alright.  I'm not a big Twix fan and I think that'd work.

Click on the link above and scroll down till you find Pokey - Chocolate.


They are selling a very similar version of these made by the same people in TEsco. I will try and get a picture up tonight. They are very tasty!
