I can explain the Timeout bar. It's a candy bar made by Cadbury's, who RULE a great deal yet, for some strange reason, sell very few products here. About the only Cadbury stuff you can get in America are the Creme Eggs (and cousins) at Easter, Caramello bars, and *occasionally* a Dairy Milk or Fruit and Nut bar if you're willing to pay way too much for them.

Not so in Europe. They have a TON of candy bars, most of them wonderful (FLAKE! oh, be still my heart!), cakes, mousses, puddings, cake mix... every kind of sweet delicious chocolatey goody known to mankind. Mmmmm. Why they do not sell all those things in America, I do not know. They're certainly delicious enough to sell, IMO.

Oh, and I think a Timeout bar is chocolate wafer...? Not sure, exactly, but it's yummy. (Not as good as Flake, though. Mmmm Flake.)
