Coffee Crisp coming to the US!

[bjarvis]

About frackin' time, At long last, Coffee Crisp chocolate bars will be made available by Nestle in the US!

What's a coffee crisp? Heathen! By a wide margin, it's the greatest chocolate bar ever! I usually buy lots when I'm in Canada --they're available at any convenience store there-- but the only place I've found them in the US is at the World Market stores, sold as exotic international fare. Go figure.

Well crap!! How am I supposed to bribe Americans when I visit the USA now?

COFFEE CRISP IS CRACK!

What, you don't have them already? They're my favourite.

For that matter, I can't imagine growing up without Shreddies.

When Jason came here to visit me the first time, he was awed in a British food shop to find Cadbury's Crunchie bars. He bought two or three when I wasn't paying attention. When I asked later how much he paid, he was quite surprised when I told him that he probably bought the real English version, but these bars are sold everywhere in Canada.

My four favourite chocolate bars (I notice you said chocolate bar too - that's a Canadianism, I think. The Americans say "candy bar" if it has non-chocolate fillings in it) are Crispy Crunch, Wunderbar, Big Turk and Crunchie. Coffee Crisp follows those but that one depends on the flavour. I liked the original, the orange and the fudge, but some of the others aren't so great.

Different squids for different ids, I guess. I hit the wrong button and bought one by accident last winter I was in Ottawa; after one broken-off bit, I left it back in the machine drawer. Nestle makes the waxiest, worst chocolate this side of three-for-a-dollar Easter bunnies...

Now I'm doomed

I would munch through two King Sized Coffee Crisps whenever I visit my parents north of Montreal. And how could y'all forget Aero Bars (and not the new mint ones, either...I'm talking the original I-wanna-pay-more-for-the-air-bubbles-because-it-makes-the-chocolate-taste-that-much-better bars).

Oh! And the delightfully messy Cherry Blossoms! Oh! And..And...

(great, I'm fucked...)

I had my first Coffee Crisp about 2 weeks ago. Although I am more of a Cadbury's Dairy Milk kind of guy, I must say I will have another. As the package and the inane commercial that is on now say, "It makes a nice, light snack."

Chocolate affects us all!

I find it interesting that Brian posted about chocolate bars at 23:30 one evening, and by 10:00 the next day (ie 10.5h later, much of which is the wee-hours-of-the-morning in north america) there are 28 comments.

clearly, this is a subject that is very important for many people!
