Being from York I prefer Smarties to M&Ms in my cookies...

 

*snip*

 

Guess who'll be in York on May 23/24?

Smarties taste like crap here....hence why M&M are better and taste like chocolate.....Smarties taste like Sugar ton and ton of sugar.....

 

 

Me too! Smarties are way better than M&Ms!

 

*prepares for battle*

Well you two are more qualified than I to comment on Smarties in Canada, so I leave you to battle! I have to say that in my experience all mass-produced chocolate in North America tastes pretty crap compared to the European equivalent.

Cool! Let me know and we can meet up if you like! As I've said before I love playing tour guide.

Vaccination does work. But, I'm more worried about the fact that many different illnesses are quickly becoming antibiotic resistant or antibiotics have no effect on them. This is even more troubling when you think about the fact that antibiotic resistant strains are popping up in the worlds food supply and have been for awhile. Antibiotics are the go to cure for so much and the fact that they are quickly loosing their effectiveness is a cause for alarm for sure. The worlds powers should be doing everything they can to stop what can become a major problem before it gets remotely out of control.

 

Oh my god, absolutely. Kids are growing up in an antibiotic bubble these days and getting prescriptions for every little cold.

 

When I was growing up, we'd eat carrots from the garden, dirt and all. Got some scrapes at the playground, had the sniffles. It was all whatever until it was serious and then we went to the doctor. In my home, a little dirt was good for you.

Well I absolutely have to go the York Dungeon, that is a non-negotiation! Also planning on going to the Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal. I am very excited.

Yup. It's a separate issue to vaccination but a really serious one. People demand antibiotics when they don't need them, too, which does nothing to help. I've heard of some interesting research into different new methods of making antibiotics, though, so hopefully new solutions can be found.

I... have never heard of Smarties.

Just little chocolate bits coated in candy. They're crunchy and sweet and melty.

I was referring to the more common "sweet shop/candy store" type brands like Mars, etc. What is branded as the same thing can actually taste worse there than here! I'm sure you have some tasty higher-end brands, there, though.

Yeah they're like okayyy. But M&M's has peanuts, almonds, peanut butter, dark chocolate varieties and therefore: rules over Smarties.

Blech. I don't want all thatcrud. I just wnt my candy coated milk chocolate. Stop trying to ruin a good thing!

The chocolate ones are vastly inferior, though, and they are the ones that are directly comparable.

Well if you're talking Hershey's or Mars offering's here *with a few exceptions* you're correct. Ghiradelli and some of the Trader Joes brand ones are outstanding (however only sold at Trader Joes but I sent a package of them to the UK once and was told some London children devoured the entire box *quite a lot* in 30 minutes).

Never buy edible products from Dollarama! They're great for decorations and cheap dishes and card/wrapping, but all their junk food is stale!

[The Loyal Nub]

Yeah never get your candy from the dollar store. To be honest my favorite chocolates are Droste, Ritter Sport, and Baci so that's Holland, Germany, and Italy right there. 

[AlexiaRevan]

Anyway..her favorite was
