Reading this thread while holding back the tears. You all don't know you're born.

There is nothing, NOTHING that America does worse than chocolate bars. If I head out to the corner store here, I can choose between Herschey's Milk, Reese's peanut butter sludge or Mr. f*****g Goodbar, and they'll all taste like cardboard.

I'd give me eye teeth for anything on this list (but the next time I'm walking through Heathrow and pass WHSmith's, it'll probably be a Boost.......)
 
Clearly it's mint aero as it's not on the list!
 
Anyone done the Penguin straw? Take Penguin (or similar) nibble diagonally opposite corners off, dip one nibbled end in coffee whilst simultaneously sucking at the other nibbled corner until coffee is drawn thrown. Withdraw and eat at once!! The risk of the Penguin disintegrating into the coffee if you're timing is a split second too long makes it thrilling and tacky at the same time!

Hershey's is absolute rank! It leaves that nasty taste in you mouth that you have after you've puked up! How they have not gone out of business astounds me. Horrible stuff.

Maybe we should do a poll on 'Most overrated posh chocolates'. Hotel Chocolat? I'm happy with Lindor truffles.

Thorntons used to be the posh chocolate of choice. My grandfather bought all my family selection boxes until he was too old and then my uncle carried on the tradition buying them on his behalf.

The company lost the plot by making their franchise shops sell at full price and at the same time selling the same selection boxes at newsagents at a discount.

Anyway most overrated posh Chocolate is millionaire’s shortbread. It’s a twix.

Thornton’s used to be really nice but they were taken over or something and expanded greatly, their chocolates are now horribly sweet and tasteless.
 
How is Double Decker winning? It's literally included in a tub of Miniature Heroes despite being disgusting! Likewise, half of the crap in this list are in Celebrations and therefore clearly over-rated (at least by the chumps at Cadbury and Mars).

I went Boost, ahead of Toffee Crisp.
Boost has so much going on, all so good, and yet gets none of this celebrated miniature treatment.
It doesnt need it either. "Take me as I am, or don't f*****g take me". That's what a Boost would say.

Honourable mention to Drifter. And one for the old school...'Fuse'.

It’s winning because it’s the best one - simples! Its main attraction imho is the synergy of overall wonderful taste created between (and despite) the two very different textures of soft nougat top layer and crisp base.

Well thought out, well produced - a born winner.

Fuse was good, but it’s no Cabanna.

Sweet Jesus, what I’d do to once again bite into all that moist coconutty goodness.
