I've looked at them from all angles and all I see is a round, more expensive borbon.

I amof course nbu, they are pointless

Hersheys really does taste like vomit though I do like their Reeses peanut butter cups and Nutrageous.

Molesworth · 07/04/2010 19:39

Yep, Reece's PB Cups are divine

Not so keen on Nutrageous though

LetThereBeRock · 07/04/2010 19:39

And Cadburys is delicious,as is butter.

Bloody love Oreos.

For that I blame Margaret Attwood. Eating oreos feels like a literary act.

Choc is darker. Cream is white.

BUT

Bourbons food of the gods. Literally have to eat entire packet. Made for dipping in tea and sucking off. And yes, I do mean that as it sounds. I seriously adore them.

Hersheys is yummy, as is Cadburys mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm may go open my last easter egg now

yabvvvu. Oreos include black glue developed using a special patented formula designed to be resistant to water and all known wipes

lolapoppins · 07/04/2010 19:43

Have you tried the Hershey White chocolate cookie and cream bars though? They are devine. Nothing like the mingng milk chocolate Hershey bars.

I love the tubs of mini Oreos. Dh makes cheese cake base from them.

roulade · 07/04/2010 19:44

Hersheys tastes like crap, Cadburys is ok but Green & Blacks is heaven!

SwissCheeseIsHolyCheesus · 07/04/2010 19:48

Ah, wait n see, when Cadburys hits America they'll know where they've gone wrong !

hersheys ok but its that crappy southern hemisphere choclate with anti-melting gubbins in it that gives it a plasticy taste - just nothing anyone would eat unless 1) it was the best of a crap range of choclates
2) they are from the areas served largely by Hershey and feeling homesick

Oreos similarly are not something you'd choose if you had access to, e.g. chocolate crinkle crunch creams, or pretty much any other big name chocolate biscuit available in the UK.

My faves are Sainsburys TTD Quadruple Chocolate cookies.

Oreos are gross, and I love sweet things

oldraver · 07/04/2010 20:20

butterflyeffect I'm sure you can get Reeces Pieces here. I buy the PeanutButter Cups and they are cheaper than I could find in the States (well until I discovered Dollartree). I love the Nutrageous as well

CrankyTwanky · 07/04/2010 20:34

zap your post made me laugh my baby off the breast!

schroeder · 07/04/2010 20:34

bourbons and oreos are both horrible imho,but at least bourbons don't make you look like you have been eating poo!

Molesworth · 07/04/2010 20:36

Some of the nicest chocolates I've had were American: See's Nuts and Chews

superv1xen · 07/04/2010 20:42

mmmm i LOVE oreos!

I wish the double-stuff ones would be released over here!

lolapoppins · 07/04/2010 20:42

I spent a lovely afternoon while in New York last year at the Hersheys and M&Ms stores.

I bloody love twinkies as well. We were in New York for 8 days and I came back 16 lbs heavier

Have just sent dh to Tesco to buy mini oreos and ice cream . Even lovlier than haagan daas when you mix it up yourself.

tethersend · 07/04/2010 20:46

Hershey kisses = divine.

Oreos = made of sand.

AvadaKedavra · 07/04/2010 22:42

Hersheys tastes like vomit
