British chocolate? I don't think the British are known for their foods, chocolate or otherwise. Much of the rest of Europe, however, is prized for it. But I think that perception is an illusion created by the inherently daunting nature of a European name. How can the brand name "Hershey" possibly compete with something like "Lindt" ?
I'm frankly not all that fond of most British candy bars -- their Mars bars (equivalent to our Milky Ways) are less by comparison, for example. I don't even like Lindt, and if I had Toblerones and Smarties every day, I'm sure I'd be at least as excited about finding a 100 Grand as I am about finding either of those now.
*shrug* Maybe it's just me.
