For flavor, I tend to prefer Smarties to M&M's, but I have never had Smarties from Canada, only from England. I understand they are a little different (Canadian and English Smarties, that is) However, I have recently become fond of the irresistable M&M Mini's, or Baking M&M's. They are smaller, which means there is a higher candy to chocolate ratio, but they are made of semi-sweet chocolate, which beats regular M&M's and Smarties altogether. - --Rodney (Oops!

I believe in general candies in the US are a tad : sweeter than they are in Canada. Even candies by the same name are made : less sweet in Canada, market research show we aren't as sweet as : Americans I guess :) Yes, but candy in Britain tends to be even less sweet than that in Canada. For instance, Cadbury is Canada is more sweet than in Britain. Apparently, it is even sweeter in America. Also, my gf says that Hershey's is way too sweet for her. I don't mind so much, although I have grown up in the States so what do I know? - -Matt - -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Matt James Voice: (301) 231-9898 x. 121 TYC Associates email: mjames@tyc.com Rockville, MD alternate: mattj@charm.net http://www.tyc.com - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: 7 Aug 1998 20:56:47 GMT From: Gibbins Christopher <4cg7@qlink.queensu.ca> Subject: Re: Jian's Cool!

( this is not to say that this discussion has been mean or homophobic, or anything of the like, in fact, it's been carried on in a most respectable fashion, however, i think that its just too invasive for such a public forum.) - - nora ( just stating my opinion) ********************* "bear left fozzie.....right frog." - - kermit the frog and fozzie bear ( the muppet movie) nora cohen (dot0926@aol.com) snafru on irc **************** ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #255 ********************************************
