Wriggleys/Mars make those. Not a Limey company. But it's a stupid idea anyway.

At least they’ve also decided to donate 2p per pack to LGBT charities.

Not a lot is it.

Over here they are available at Tesco. But you can get them on Amazon in the US. No idea what stores sell them but I'm sure they'll be on sale at Walmart or wherever.

Here's one for those of you on the "other side of the pond". These are supposedly 15 foods that we enjoy in the US, but not so much in the UK.
For this US resident, I can say I don't care for non-fat milk, Cheez Whiz or root beer, but I'm on board with most of the other items.

Do Brits really thing Hershey's chocolate bars taste like "vomit"

I use skim milk with my cereal in the morning. I was raised with 2% and it took time switching, but now anything higher is crazy thick (that said, when I have had to use 2%, it was amazingly indulgent).

Love root beer, but my Australian nieces said it tasted like toothpaste.

I love Root Beer and Hershey bars are nice but a bit too sweet. I find a couple of bites enough.

These type of comparison things are not based in any fact and just play on age old stereotypes. Stupid really.

Yeah I tend to agree.

The American food presented here tends to skew regional southern and I've not or dont eat a lot of it.

I tend to agree it's based on stereotypes. I can't say I've ever eaten grits, chocolate bars are good, but I don't crave them nor can I eat an entire bar in one sitting, too much sugar. Root beer is just too sweet for my tastes. Chicken fried steak smothered in gravy is delicious, but it has so many calories and such high cholesterol content that it's not something I order more than once year or so.

Hello,

I'm a New Yorker but if grits are done right, they're pretty good. I've never had a chicken fried steak that wasn't incredibly fatty and bad (only 2x).

I've had grits twice in my life—both times in Georgia—and liked them quite a bit, tho I grew up with porridge so it wasn't that dissimilar. Porridge in winter is perfect.
