I was under the impression that they were? Just over here they have to be labelled as energy drinks, because of the amount of sugar?

Nope the taste is very different indeed. I can't quite explain how but I still buy the american variants occasionally because it's nicer.

has anyone ordered from www.Americansweets.co.uk ? I was just craving a pick and mix and came across it, I think I could spend a dangerous amount of money here. The postage is £4.50 so you need to buy a lot to make it worthwhile. Is ordering sweets online sad? Think my mum would be suspicious I was ordering drugs online if a load of 'sweets' turned up in a parcel, it's a shame she's not Internet fluent.
I'm verging on making a £15 + order here

I order from the American Candy Company or something like that.

Lucky Charms and Mountain Dew

I don't think it's sad, I've had friends and family proceed to order things too as they've enjoyed what I've purchased

I can buy it at work for 60p a can. And Dr Pepper Zero (my favourite).

All I can get in my town is the standard 500ml bottle for £1.22.

I don't know why but I've always wanted to try a Hershey bar. Bit too expensive to buy from there though.

I wonder if they have UK sweets shops in America?

A friend of mine had a slight obsession with the stuff, and when they released it over here, he bought it in bulk. Not realising there was a difference.

Just spent £41 at the American Soda place.

Root beer on its way.

Go to Asda, they do Hershey bars on their chocolate aisle. I buy loads of the stuff. They also have some variety of kisses too.

From memory it's about £1.80 a Hershey bar, though it has gone on offer and I last acquired some for £1.20 a bar.

Fair enough, thanks.

I don't actually drink any of it, I quit soft drinks in january, I was just going from what I was told.

Thanks! Just had a look online and they're showing as £1.20 each at the moment. Think I'll pop in tomorrow and get a few

Man I miss A&W root beer. Best fizz drink on the planet!

Surprised its not popular in the UK...

Personally i think the UK mountain dew is nothing like the US version.

robmol · 18 Oct 2011 at 21:35

Airheads are my favourite American sweet, even if they do pull your teeth out.

Also, don't the US have a few different flavours? Instead of just sugary water flavour.

Oh and I tried a Hershey bar from Asda and it had a very strange after taste. Did not want :eek:

. Neither did anyone else that tried it.
