Never heard of them. But there's something about the word 'candy' that makes me feel nauseous. I don't know what that's about.

In the UK we have chocolate and sweets. I'm glad we don't really use the word candy except for candy floss (what Americans call cotton candy). Although maybe I'd eat fewer sweets if we called them candy...


In Canada we call it chocolate and candy. Candy is generally any sugary treat that isn't chocolate and is normally eaten as a snack instead of a dessert. I think, but I am not sure, that "sweets" in Canada may be a general term for anything sweet, like candy, chocolate, or dessert. We also say "chocolate bars" in Canada instead of "candy bars" like they do in the USA. Although the companies call them "candy bars" for legal reasons if it's a type of confection coated in chocolate instead of chocolate being the main ingredient, like Crunchie or Mars bars.

Shopping sprees can be nice.
If you have a bit of extra money to pay for em. Otherwise you could end up having a bit of debt

I think I would like them, especially the green ones if they taste like lime.
