More of not what it sounds like
I recently discovered that a grocery store near us has a UK foods section. I was getting nostalgic looking at the packets of biscuits and mars bars and curry. I saw a can of Heinz Spotted Dick and said to my wife, "Look honey, want some dick?" The look of outraged disgust on the old ladies face as she was looking at tomato sauce sent me into hysterics.

And no, she didn't want any.

And I bought six bottles of lucozade and it's awful.

UK foods?
Where is a Mars bar considered a "UK food"?

I've heard that in USAnia the 'Mars Bar' is almost identical to our Snickers.
So it could be an imported British Mars Bar.

Also Lucozade is entirely awful. Bleh.

A mars bar here is called
Snickers with almonds.

I knew it had something to do with almonds.

There's more.
What we call a Mars bar, they call a Milky Way, and what we call a Milky Way, they call a "Three Musketeers".

There are a lot of decisions there that I'd love to know how they arrived at.

an alaskan pipeline?

Ah, of course, I stand corrected.
I'd forgotten all the naming shenanigans.

Lucozade
should only be served warm, while in bed, propped up by 4 pillows, preferably in a room smelling of vomit with a plastic bucket by the bed.

That sounds DELIGHTFUL.

I miss the glass bottle
and the ability to make a little hat from the foil wrapper :(

The more poorly you are, the better Lucozade tastes. (the cellophane wrapper however never tasted that good)
