This week's contest works well with Halloween--candy from around the world. What's your favorite candy? What's popular in your neck of the woods? No candy being shown in TV shows or movies please, but I will accept advertising for the real-life item. Thanks to Owain Taggart for the idea.

Standard BBS avatar rules apply. The poll will go up on Sunday.


Here's mine:
 
Yeah, thought it might be a good one for this time of year :)

Anyway, this is mine, an iconic Canadian staple:

This could well be my favourite avatar contest topic ever. :hugegrin:

Keeping the Scottish end up is this entry:

The reason I'm asking is because there's a Candy bar in Canada that's essentially sponge candy covered in chocolate with that name that looks exactly like that.
 
I love Baumstamm.

Don't know if it's popular around the world. Basically, it's a nougat core in marzipan coated with chocolate.
 
That MM-candy, isn't that what we call "Smarties" in Europe???


Anyway, Salty licorice pastils from Denmark:




(I actually still have the matching backpack :) )
 
LOL by reading this thread I just regained all the pounds I shed the last 2 weeks with hard gardening work. And I'm afraid they brought a few friends.. :D
I'll post my av tomorrow - must go on a shopping expedition first since I actually have not a single candy bar in the house.

According the their website, M&Ms are still called M&Ms throughout the various parts of Europe where they're distributed, and are the same chocolate with a hard candy shell.

In the US, "Smarties" are tiny, very sweet fruit-flavored wafers:

So, given the saltiness and that it sort of looks like it comes in a condom box, I'm assuming the double entendre of the name is intentional? And if it is, eww.

What we call Smarties in Canada and around the world is different to what it is in the US. I don`t know about the slogan for the smarties elsewhere, but here it was Don`t forget to eat the red ones last, and they aren`t at all the same as M&M`s. The Smarties the U.S gets, we call Rockets.
