Wondering if this is available in the states or Europe.

They are called 'Cadbury's 99 Flake'

Maybe not the exact brand, but rolled up waffel-cone ice cream bars are pretty much available world wide, including all of asia and the states.

Whether anyone eats them... my tummy hurts.

Cadbury's are typically UK :p . And btw, knowing what Cadbury's flake is like (crispy, twirly chocolate thingy), that's probably not your common "el cheapo" cone you have there.

There's little chance you'll find those in Belgium, except in specialist shops, because the country produces tons of chocolate and not the hydrogenated fat crap either. That said, the UK is one of the biggest producers of sweets and it's quite odd to see so little stuff abroad in continental Europe.

I've never seen Cadbury "flake" products here at all. A bit of a shame really, I quite enjoyed them when I was over there. The only Cadbury brand products I can get are the eggs and the rare dairy milk bar in standard size only, and even those aren't really Cadbury's (see below).

i was horrified by the 'chocolate' in the US, so was SOOOOOOO happy to find cadbury's creme eggs on sale in disney world. YAY mickey!

Hate to break it to you, but most of the "Cadbury" brand chocolate sold in the US is actually manufactured by Hershey. At least, on the back of them is "manufacture and packaged by the Hershey company" or something to that effect. On my last trip to England just to test whether the Cadbury bars I can find here are the same, I bought a dairy milk bar in Hethrow and brought it back. I then bought the same exact (wrapper) product here. Tasting them "blind" I could tell which was which pretty accurately.

Also I happen to like American chocolate :p, it's largely a matter of taste what constitutes "high-quality" chocolate. Of course there is the cheap and nasty stuff they make christmas candies and such out of, but by and large the chocolate here is good stuff.

I'm not a fan of chocolate in general, there are very limited amounts of brands I like. I hated all the american type things i had (what's wit the obsession with peanuts there?) and I certainly don't like Hershy's. I don't like the ever spreading Nestle either...only two I definately like are Cadbury and Lindt's Lindor. Didn'y know about the different chocolate thing...I wonder if that happens with coca cola since it's made by cadbury over here...but anyway the chocolate they sell in magic kingdom really is cadbury :tup:

You can get real Cadbury at almost any import store in america, I prefer World Market because they have the full range of the line, but I've seen it at about a half dozen other places.

It's kind of nice that we in the US have the ability to shop for most of the same foods you lot in the UK and other countries eat, as well as getting our own food, I can't think of any major food sold abroad that I can't drive into town and pick up.
