Americans try Cadbury and compare it to US chocolate – and there's clear winner
Cadbury and Hershey's are two of the biggest chocolate brands in the world, both boasting a rich history and delicious products which have stood the test of time An American couple have issued their verdict on Cadbury chocolate after trying it for the first time, and compared it to a classic US brand. Brianna Sky Morton and her partner relocated from the US to the UK and been spending much of their time tucking into classic British foods to see if they are worth the hype. Recently, after hearing Brits rave about Cadbury chocolate, they decided to conduct a taste test to see if it beats America's Hershey's chocolate. When it comes to food, us Brits don't necessarily have the best reputation. But one thing tourists often love trying while in the UK is our snacks. Brianna has been sharing their honest reviews of British food on her Instagram page since relocating, and her review of one of the nation's favourite chocolate brands has got people talking. Cadbury chocolate tends to offer a richer, smoother flavour due to the high cocoa content, while Hershey's is known for its lighter, sweeter taste as a result of the butyric acid used. Both chocolate companies have a rich history and play a significant role in the chocolate industry. Brianna and her partner tried the Hershey's chocolate bar first, after which she said: "I love Hershey's," however after tucking into a Cadbury's bar, the pair were left stunned. "Wow," Brianna said - and her partner totally agreed. Brianna added: "That is amazing. This blows Hershey's out of the water. Cadbury, oh my goodness." She insisted there is "no going back" to American chocolate after trying the British treat, which has been around since 1824. One commented: "We don't do everything better in England but biscuits and chocolate are good for sure!" "Cadbury is real chocolate," insisted another. One other said: "Nobody does chocolate like UK and France in my opinion. Cadbury rocks." "UK chocolate will always be better than USA chocolate!," agreed one other. One other said: "First time I tried Hershey's I felt so bad for Americans! You guys don't know what chocolate is until you come to Europe!! British chocolate is not even considered good compared to Belgian chocolate!" One other Brit shared their thoughts, and wrote: "Cadbury used to be the UK favourite. Taste slightly changed when the sugar tax was introduced, which led people to criticise its quality. Then Kraft absolutely ruined it. It now tastes cheap and leaves an unpleasant aftertaste. I personally haven't purchased it for more than a year now, and will never again." Suggesting what to try next, another commented: "Wait till they get a chocolate orange down them, lives will be changed." "Try a Ripple or a Twirl," suggested one other. Another agreed and noted: "And they haven't even had a Flake yet. Or a Ripple. Life changing." Which chocolate bar would you crown as the winner? Comment below and share your favourite brand.

How the Online Sweet Shop Transformed the Way We Buy Sweets
There's something timeless about the joy of sweets. The rustle of a paper bag, the fizz of sherbet on your tongue, or the satisfying chew of a strawberry bonbon — it's a sensory trip that needs no justification. And yet, for many of us, that joy had started to fade. The traditional sweet shop, once a fixture of the British high street, has slowly disappeared. But now, a new kind of sweet revolution is taking shape — and it's happening on screen, not on the corner. Thanks to the growth of specialist retailers like online sweet shop, what was once limited to a small selection in a local shop is now a virtually unlimited experience, hand-packed and delivered straight to your door. The idea of buying sweets online may seem simple, but there's an art to doing it properly. It's not just about offering a list of confections. It's about recreating the feeling you'd get walking into a real sweet shop: the choice, the smell, the indulgence — without the sticky floors. The best online retailers do this by curating extensive ranges of retro sweets, international candy, and dietary-specific treats, all while maintaining the spirit of the traditional sweet-buying experience. The local newsagent could never stock sweets like these. When shopping online, you're no longer limited to five jars and a few wrapped toffees. A well-stocked online sweet shop offers hundreds — even thousands — of different items: Retro classics like cola cubes, flying saucers, rhubarb and custards, sherbet fountains, and fruit salads like cola cubes, flying saucers, rhubarb and custards, sherbet fountains, and fruit salads Pick and mix staples including fizzy cola bottles, jelly snakes, foam strawberries, and dummies including fizzy cola bottles, jelly snakes, foam strawberries, and dummies Boiled sweets such as pear drops, aniseed balls, clove rock, and mint humbugs such as pear drops, aniseed balls, clove rock, and mint humbugs Chocolate treats including chocolate limes, jazzies, toffee eclairs, and mint imperials including chocolate limes, jazzies, toffee eclairs, and mint imperials Foam sweets like shrimp, bananas, and mushrooms like shrimp, bananas, and mushrooms Specialty ranges for vegans, halal diets, sugar-free needs, and gluten-free customers for vegans, halal diets, sugar-free needs, and gluten-free customers Imported favourites like American candy bars, Jolly Ranchers, Hershey's, and Reese's Suddenly, the act of choosing becomes part of the fun again. Customers can build personalised bundles, craft nostalgic gift boxes, or simply stock up on 2kg of jelly beans because they feel like it. Unlike supermarkets or mass distributors, top-tier online sweet shops don't ship pre-packed bags that have sat on a shelf for months. Instead, each order is packed to spec, by hand, on the day it's ordered. This not only guarantees freshness — it also keeps the process personal. You're not just clicking buttons; you're choosing what goes into your bag, and someone is preparing it with care. One of the major advantages of shopping online is the ability to cater to specific dietary requirements. Whether you're vegan, diabetic, coeliac, or following halal guidelines, your options are no longer limited. That includes sugar-free mint chews, gelatin-free jelly sweets, dairy-free chocolate buttons, and halal-certified fruit gums. And it's not just dietary preferences. Themed bundles and seasonal collections are perfect for: Weddings (pastel sweets, Love Hearts, sweet table assortments) Corporate events (custom bulk bags or branded gift boxes) Birthdays (character-themed sweets for children, retro mixes for adults) Holidays (Easter eggs, Halloween candy bags, Christmas chocolate coins) Thank you gifts or client hampers It's not all about nostalgia. The online market has embraced sweet innovation too — particularly freeze-dried sweets. These crunchy, puffed-up versions of familiar treats offer a brand-new texture and taste experience. Freeze-dried Skittles, Marshmallows, and even Drumsticks have become hugely popular for their intense flavour and satisfying crunch. Luxury sweet boxes and gift hampers have also surged in popularity. Professionally packaged and ideal for gifting, these often feature a mix of retro favourites and modern indulgences like Lindor truffles or gourmet toffee fudge. No need for wrapping — they arrive gift-ready. The best online sweet shops go far beyond product listings. They offer a polished, enjoyable experience that includes: A clear, easy-to-use website Logical categorisation by sweet type, flavour, diet, and occasion Fast, trackable delivery across the UK Accurate product imagery Transparent ingredient and allergen information Fair pricing with generous quantities Helpful customer service and reviews More importantly, they treat every order with the kind of attention to detail you'd expect from your favourite corner shop owner. As more people turn to e-commerce for groceries and gifts, sweets are no exception. The market for traditional and novelty confectionery is growing, not shrinking — and it's being driven by people who want quality, customisation, and convenience. In this new digital era, the sweet shop hasn't vanished. It's been reimagined. No more hurried supermarket pick-ups or limited petrol station stock. Just a world of chewy, crunchy, fizzy, and chocolatey goodness a click away — with all the flavour and joy you remember, plus a few surprises thrown in. Sweets are more than just sugar. They're memories, gifts, comforts, and simple pleasures. And with the evolution of the online sweet shop, those moments are now more accessible than ever. Whether you're building your dream pick and mix, sending a gift, or just giving in to a craving, the best treats are only a parcel away — fresh, flavourful, and chosen by you. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
