whats worse the only diverse part of it is the curly wurly. you can just get everything else easily.
I'm in the US. We don't get most of the Cadbury stuff here, and what we do get (mostly Creme Eggs and Mini Eggs, sometimes Dairy Milk bars) is made by Hershey under license so it's kinda crap.
Unless, of course, you get it from an importer like World Market or these guys. Though I don't think I'll be buying from these guys in the future.
