Interesting International Facts: peanut butter and chocolate

Did you know?

The United States is the only place I know of that really likes the combination of chocolate and peanut butter in our candy (Reeses). For fun (my own enjoyment at the expense of others), I like to take Resses on trips and share them to see the reactions. I've done this before in Africa. I did this on my recent trip to Ireland and shared them with travel buddies from Lesotho. Look at all the fun a bag of Easter egg Reeses can bring!

At least there was one person out of about 15 that thought the candy was, "okay." Ruth (not pictured here) took the rest of the bag home. Her teenage son ate them for breakfast. He rather enjoyed the treat. The next morning at our meeting I asked the representatives from Canda, Germany and the UK if they had Reeses in their country. The UK representative said, "yes, but they aren't that popular."
Well, I like them...if I ever move overseas, feel free to send Reeses pieces...one of my favorite candy treats.
