      We have no Marks & Spencers here in the states. I have to wait for relatives to visit to get my fill of Percy Pigs (or Pig Snerks as my daughter calls em). I also get a nice huge bag of Maltesers that are 1000x better then our Whoppers.

      Don't get me started on how much better Cadbury is in England vs the US. For some reason Cadbury is crap here.

      God arent they brilliant indeed XD

      Good for me I live in the Uk and near a M&S store :p How about you send some Hershey bars and Candy Cones for some Percy Pigs and Aero Bars? XD

      For all those british people that love american sweets there was a site once that I ordered off of and got some amazing crap including.... FROOT LOOPS!!! Plus it was at a reasonable price, lemme find the site...

      EDIT: Ok, so the price isn't very reasonable but the mystery box stuff sure is :)

      so you all are saying that i could make a killing by bringing a bunch of American junk food over to the UK and sell it, then return with a bunch of UK and sell it
      and hopefully break even for the price of the plane ticket across the pond...

      interesting proposal

      There is already a store doing this. They're called UK Gourmet, and they import every candy I ever loved in the uk and canada. Percy pigs, kinder eggs, it's all sooo good. And suprisingly enough, the only place I find aero bars are at ellis island in new York, I believe they have them in the gift shop, or they used to at least
