Grah. Isn't there is way too much sugar already in North American chocolate and sweets? I think Americans can't handle the subtlety of real cocoa anymore because our taste buds have been burned out by all that sugar. I mean, if I wanted to munch on something that tastes like solid sugar cubes, I'd go buy those instead.

I know that soft drink companies use different formulas for their products in different markets, based on what the local population like, so it's possible that Cadbury's does the same thing with their candy bars.

Wonder what Cadbury's like in the UK. I find these reports of Flakes to be intriguing. As well as Timeout, which I haven't seen here either.
