You know the scene in cartoons where a character is speeding by something and come to a screeching halt because something catches their eye? That was me in front of this store! I can spot American candy a mile a way and sometimes it is nice to have a childhood favourite.
When you walk in, it is just bright colours and sugar everywhere! They have all sorts of sweets, but of course, my attraction was to the American items... they had candy bars: Butterfinger, Baby Ruth (my personal favourite), Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey's Bars, Peanut Butter M&Ms, Crunchy M&Ms, and Coconut M&Ms. They had Nerds and I thought I saw Laffy Taffy, but I could have just been dazzled by it all. They had Lucky Charms cereal bars and about four different kinds of Pop Tarts. They also had American pop (or soda... whatever you call it): Mello Yellow, Mountain Dew, Jolly Rancher flavoured pop (but no actual Jolly Ranchers), different flavours of Dr Pepper, Sunkist Grape Soda... but I don't think I saw any Root Beer or Creme Soda...
Regardless, they had a pretty good selection and the staff members were very friendly. An American candy bars are not super cheap because they are imported, but at £1.80, it was about the same as everywhere else I have purchased my guilty pleasures! read more
