i just got a packet from someone in england, and in it was some British candy. holy-moley, it's soooo much better and sweeter than anything i've ever had stateside. it's like, these sweets were soooo sweet...just take a hammer and knock my teeth out right now...
why is british candy so much sweeter and richer in flavor?

Depends what sort of sweets they were- not all of our sweets are that, well, sweet.
Oh, and we *heart* sugar.

Maybe they use REAL sugar instead of "high fructose corn syrup"? Or maybe it's something else.

the difference i find between american and UK chocolate bars are that ours are VERY sweet and yours are VERY fatty-tasting.

they were gummi fruit, like strawberries and cherries and grape. very delicious. and in a li'l paper bag, as if they'd just bought it from a sweet shop vendor and sent it to me. which, of course, is exactly what happened! very yummy.

Thought so, as soon as you said "cherry" the penny dropped! Russ knows Rachel through the reviewing/record label stuff he does. She sometimes plays stuff Russ has released on her radio show, and she has helped us with some record label stuff too.
