    After Eights were a expensive, indulgent chocolate when they first came out ( 1962 ), that's why you could only eat one, mainly to have after dinner with coffee, in England they are a national treasure now and sold everywhere, given as presents and people eat them at any time 😁

      After Eight are eaten in most homes at Christmas. Also we have 2 challenges to do with After Eights. 1. Try to turn the wrapper inside out without ripping it. 2. Put an After Eight on your forehead with your head tilted back slightly and slowly let it fall into your mouth. Both are possible. Good luck.

    I notice Americans tend to immediately chew everything. A lot of these things are meant to be savoured. Chocolate in itself is designed to melt at mouth temperature, try giving things time to develop before smashing it to smithereens, it's a different eating experience Same with boiled sweets, they're long lasting mild flavour when sucked, potent and strong when chewed

    -There's no way After Eight is too minty. Maybe you guys only use it in toothpaste or you just don't like mint?! In the UK we are massive on mint flavours, loads of types of mints, mint chocolates, mint toffees, mint biscuits and it's the default for chewing gum too.

    Never heard of eating a chocolate biscuit with chocolate down, the chocolate is always on the top. After eight mints were so called because you generally ate on after 8pm so after the evening meal to cleanse the pallet. I now live in the netherlands and just about every restaurant has mints near the exit so you can take one to cleanse the pallet when leaving.

    If you are intending to sample a typical English Cream Tea when you visit the UK, then it's an absolute MUST that you visit one of the cafes in Windsor. You can sit in the cafe and view the Castle which is only a few yards away. It'll be scones with double cream and jam on top, sandwiches and a pot of tea plus cakes.

    We don't have Shamrock Shakes at McDonalds in the UK, we have Strawberry, Chocolate, Vanilla and Banana (says the website) Our current Mcflurries are Oreo, Galaxy Caramel, Smarties, Maltesers and erm Tiramisu! Ben you will be delighted to learn we sometimes have After Eight Mcflurries. Great video!

    I think of these sweets are meant to be sucked rather than chewed, give the toffee time to soften.

    Milka isn’t actually British it’s Swiss, and only certain shops in the UK sell it, it’s no where near as popular as Cadbury or other European chocolate sold in the UK. The standard flavour Alpine Milk, which you tried also has a slight hazelnut flavour.

    After 8s are dinner mints that you have at the end of a meal to freshen your mouth!

    With the eclairs you need to eat them the right way. Let them melt in your mouth for a bit and when it's soft enough the chocolate just oozes out.

    When you visit the UK, you will be legally old enough to drink at 18, so do visit some pubs, and also try some pub food, especially a Sunday Roast.

      A Sunday Roast in an English pub is now on my bucket-(never going to happen)-list. I'm also a fan of my version of the proper English breakfast; it's worth it to see the faces when I consume that glorious soft bacon and beans on toast.

    After eights are a traditional after dinner mint, served with coffee and the traditional time for the evening meal in the UK was usually 8pm. I've never been a fan of after eights to be honest. Quite popular at Christmas 😀

    My son visited the US for a couple of weeks I think, many years ago, and he brought back a 6 pack of Twinkies, and I couldn't wait to try them out. I took a bite of one, spat it out in the the bin, and I have never tasted such an awful chemical mixture inside what is supposed to be sponge and sure it isn't , and tasted just yukk!. The other 5 also went in the bin, and was disappointed....sorry about that....but it gave me a laugh anyway....:)

      I went to the states in 98 and the first thing I wanted to try (having seen them loads in the movies) was a Twinky bar/cake.... Exactly the same as you, took one bite and spat it out, binned the remaining 11... .Utterly vile chemical filled garbage.. You can get them in the UK but they have never taken off, can't see why... lol

      Lol....I also wanted to try a hot dog that I have seen many scoffing them in films, when at LA Airport on my way to Brisbane. What a disappointment that was, as no chopped onions, or free mustard/ketchup to squirt on them either, but then this was back in the early 1970's....so disappointed twice....😀

    We have the inverse of eclairs too in the revels, but also what you described is kind of everywhere. Eclairs are better the way they are.
