    Still on Haribo, what's the difference between the Haribo Liquorice Wheels sold here/in the UK, and those sold elsewhere in Europe?

    They probably put salt in the Dutch ones!

    Is one wound clockwise and the other anticlockwise? A pure wild last gasp of desperation guess.

    If you turned it over it would go the opposite way?

    Does one have one of those speckled round sweets in the middle and the other doesn't?

    Its an entertaining question anyway NH!

    Not what I was looking for (well, ok, they would have different names in each country).

    Go on, it's quite easy! All right, I'll give you a ball of yarn (:pac: see what I did there? :pac:): Looksee's guess was the closest.

    Well I have seen the wheels with the sweetie in the middle, but not being familiar with continental ones I have no idea how they are different. I have a notion I have seen ones without the sweetie too, so that doesn't get me any further forward!

    Not that, you mentioned salt.

    The continental ones (but not the German ones, for some reason), don't contain gelatine, and never did (and they taste nicer).

    Right - another question, similar to this one: what's the difference between a regular "continental" Fanta and a Fanta around here?

    No idea why but the orange fanta is a different colour on the continent.

    Yep, and it tastes more like Orangina, too. :)

    Your go, Srameen.

    It seems that the recipes of many "common" products are adjusted depending on their target audiences, and more's the pity - no consistency!!

    Wild shot: did they all die on the same day in different years? Or, one of your favourites, were they all left-handed? :pac:
