Customers Choice: #1

And here it is ... the irrefutable favourite Great British product as determined by the largest independent panel of judges ever assembled in the town of Orangeville, Ontario, Canada - the customers of Blighty's Tuck Store. And the winner is ... the curvaceous, the vivacious, the irresistible ... Cadbury Curly Wurly!

Only the British could have have come up with a product name so twee, so puerile, so silly. The Curly Wurly; it's name describes it so well - a lattice of chocolate covered caramel. Strands of chewy delight entwined in an network of sugary ecstacy. We have sold so many I could hang a sign outside the store: "Billions and billions sold" - well not by Blighty's; maybe by Cadbury perhaps. We laid in extra supplies of the curvy little monkeys just before Christmas but still they sold out. Irate customers dragged many of our sales staff outside and lynched them for failing them in their hour of need - a Curly Wurly deprived Christmas - perish the very thought. It was sad to see the previously heavily laden shelf where the masses of Curly Wurlys once lay; now occupied only by a large sign proclaiming "best price in Canada". The dust settled in that bed for several days until, at last, Pugwash the Pirate (our importer) threw open his doors and allowed us to refill the hallowed ground with a fresh supply of Curly Wurlys - Blighty's customers' choice for best British product in 2008.
