Was watching a "How it's Made" type show from the UK, "Inside the Factory" or something like that. They were at the Nestle factory where Aero candy is made. I found some listed on Amazon and ordered a couple of types

I got the mint "Bubbles"

and the orange bar Took nearly a month for it to "cross the pond" and it got warm along the way. It was "warm" when I took it out of the box. So into the fridge it went for a couple of hours.

The mint bubbles had a mild flavor or, in the spirit of where it came from "flavour". After 3 or 4, you could actually taste a little mint. The Orange bar had even less orange flavor to it.
While it's interesting trying candy from other countries, I can't say I'll be ordering any more of these, however, if I do, it'll be during winter.

The first "foreign" candy I ever tried was back in '77-78 when my friend and his family went to West Germany and Austria to see his grandparents. He brought me a bag of Haribo Gummy bears years before they were sold in this country

Here's what the German Haribo bag looked like then. I checked Haribo's website and it says they came to the US in 1982.
I was in 5th Grade when I got them and was a sophomore/junior in '82. I kept the empty bag for years as a souvenir.

The local Haribo gummy bears use sorbitol which is a laxative. You should read the Amazon reviews

The sugar free ones do

My favorite...

If you like Orange flavored chocolate Paul, try and get some of these.....Made by Terry's
The Blue boxes have light chocolate, the red boxes have dark chocolate.
Best orange flavored chocolate I have tasted......
( They also come in mint)

Those look interesting Alec, but they're double the price in your picture on Amazon
