I think there were too many law suits about choking on prizes so they don't really do that any more. Now they have "redeem online" codes to get prizes. I think one or two brands still does it though...

They don't have provolone in the UK???? That's so sad D:

Emmyann07 is right. Most companies do an online redemption code where your prize is mailed to you, but a few large brands still have them in the boxes now and then.

I haven't really noticed but that's crazy talk,no toys in cereal anymore? redemtion codes, really? I don't remember anyone ever choking on a toy when I was a kid but my sister did flip the box upside down and open it from the bottom to get the prize before I could.

my husband and I have a friend who now lives in the UK. I sent him a bag of peanut butter m&m's that he loves and cannot buy there, and in exchange he sent me like 10 kinder eggs! Happy I had NEVER seen or had one! they are neat, now to figure out a craft for them....haha

Yeah I'll admit most US made chocolate is crap. I'll go for the Dove Promises ( comes in a bag of individually wrapped pieces, also individual bars). Same for the Hersheys Bliss, better than most. Try Target stoves for Lindt, they sell bars and the balls all year long Under $4.00. They also sell Milka bars. Godiva is overpriced & overrated. If you have an Aldi store near, they carry an amazing array of European chocolate CHEAP. I too love the peanut butter M & M's. Now I want some good chocolate but it is in the 90's here, can't really enjoy it.

Eh, I'm only impressed by the accents when watching Shakespeare and that's just because it's nice to hear how it was meant to sound... We definitely have better hip hop/ rap. Hate to say it but British people just look and sound silly when they try Tongue I will have to try the UK chocolate though, I love chocolate Happy

I agree with PinkWeeds, i think other countries get better/more concerts & bands in general. That used to piss me off when most of the US bands tour was in another country, & they never even came to half the usa (usually my half lol) in the first place. So i could never see them. Happy
The only USA chocolate i really like or would eat is Dark Chocolate Hershey Kisses. lol I LOVE Them! Lindt Chocolate is also SO amazing! but they cost outrageous...but kinda worth it. lol ...idk what kinder eggs are.
They dont put toys in the cereals here anymore, which really is sad. They used to put them in popsicle/ice-cream pops box too. I miss those.
