Looking for some sweets....

*affixes flame proof suit*

Ahem.

No doubt you can probably just buy these down at your local newsagent and I'm just being an idiot (as usual

) but I have fond memories of a chocolate coated toffee chew by the name of Reisen.

Anyone seen these around?

I remember having them sometime around my Uni attendance 2000 - 2002ish.

Anyone help?

EDIT: Maybe they're not sold in the UK any more, but at least that gives you the correct spelling to search

.

Good but no UK option!

Most of the time you find them in less well known cornershops or from budget supermarkets such as home bargains ect

99p Store in town have them, just bought a bag, they're pretty minging to be honest, can't see why you actually want them

UCL have them in their student shop

if you ever go past there go in as the public can free roam. They are very nice so I'm with you op.

Morgoth · 8 Jul 2010 at 13:58

Aldi and Lidl used to stock them, haven't been in one for a while though.

stulid · 8 Jul 2010 at 14:02

Go to Macro, they do some huge plastic tubs of all the goodness.

McDaniel · 8 Jul 2010 at 14:13

Pound Shop / Pound Stretcher type places near me do them

mushroomsoup · 8 Jul 2010 at 14:46
