I haven't read all the threads but I know as a kid the most successful launch of a chocolate product must have been Wispa.
People seen eating them were virtually getting mugged in the street, as they were selling out within minutes of going on sale.
They were basically a flake with a coating of chocolate around it in the shape of a topic, do they even still sell them.

Oh KidsToLondon:
"...any of the above...and pray that the US formulas used by Hershey for Cadbury's products never get exported to the UK. Yuck!"
Please don't give me nightmares. I thought for the longest time that I didn't like chocolate. After having good chocolate (i.e. not the American formula that I grew up on) I realized that I'm a chocolate snob. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't find British chocolate bars (especially my Tunnock Caramel Wafers).

I'm not a chocolate fanatic (though if I do have chocolate, it's got to be bittersweet) - but one thing I love while traveling to London is perusing all of the different types of chocolate bars.
I was in a convenience type store close to my hotel, mesmerized by all the varieties of Cadbury bars and trying to figure them out. To this day I still don't know what the label with the lightning bolt on it (or something like that) was supposed to indicate.
I usually end up buying at least 5 different bars with the most interesting names, take them home and end up eating none of them.

For me it is the Dairy Milk. Although the Chocolate in Canada is somewhat more similar to British Chocolate than the stuff they have in the US (hence they are called "candy bars" not chocolate bars. I would kill for a British born Dairy milk right now!!!!!

And the follow-up question:
What is the most amount of chocolate you've purchased at a UK airport shop while waiting (sadly) for your flight to the US to board? It's no wonder I never come home with any spare UK Pounds!

Personally I go for the wine gums-(I know they aren't chocolate) Can't get them in the states,so stock up in duty free on my way home. Like the Bounty ice cream bars too, also not available in the states.
