I was going to BRS. I made sure I got infront of them at immigration as I'm sure they would have delayed my exit. Only 52 people so I was able to snag a lie down exit row coach seat. If you didn't know, if you recline seat F just a bit you can stick your head between the seat back and the arm rest attatched to the door and gain a few more inches of lie flatness. :rolleyes:

BF was full. I used all three pillows and blankets as either a layered pillow or insulation from the ice cold arm rest.

I too have bookmarked Plus1's succinct summary and treatise on The Box, in addition to the homage that my signature pays to its brilliance.

:D to the MR.


Not sure they are the same, though. I think the last time I got them from Canada, I discovered they were made by Hershey's here in the US!

Bleugh! Gotta be the real McCoy! I feel a UK MR coming on ....... or maybe DUB seeing as the fares are pretty good right now.

odd, cadbury has a pretty big chocolate operation at least in the south. from easter eggs to bunnies and at my grocer checkout they have premium cadbury chocolate bars with varying levels of cocoa content all the way up to 85% I believe.

They also make snapple, and own dr pepper and 7up, some southern classics/
surely they could make the real deal here!

Are they under licence to Hershey's though? The taste is a little different than that made in the UK or Poland.

I can buy Cadbury's in my local supermarket, but it just doesn't taste the same as the stuff I buy at home.

maybe so, I have not seen references to Hershey on it when I was a kid but I haven't bought any in at least 6 years, so I have not checked in much detail.

Easter is coming around the corner maybe I will buy a creme egg and see.
