Right, I have an appeal for information here! If anyone can help I urge you to reply to this!

I spent a month in the 'States and became addicted to this stuff...

It's called Snapple (you may have heard of it) and the flavour I'm addicted to is the original apple.

Now, I came across a few of the wrong flavour in an obscure newsagents the other day - giving me hope I might be able to track some down. So to this end, HAS ANYONE SPOTTED THIS OUT AND ABOUT? If so, WHERE?

Why thankyou - that's the one!

Unless you're trying to taunt me, you evildoer!

Sure this used to be sold more or less everywhere in the UK a few years back? Woolworths, Superdrug etc...
Maybe I'm thinking of Oasis.

I think that's Oasis you're thinking of - they had a big marketing drive a few years back. For some reason I knew of Snapple before I left, which I find odd.

I'm sure they sell Snapple (not sure which flavours) in my local Costcutter.

I definately know the name which is maybe why I'm thinking of a similar drink (Oasis). Surely one of those out of town Tescos/Asda's sell them?

The UK branch has a headquarters address in Northern Ireland, might be worth contacting to find somebody who sells the stuff in your area.

I've never had this drink, considering the fact I've only ever seen it sold in Central London. When I visited a small shop opposite from Big Ben, which was coincidentally full of American tourists, I remember hearing the excitement of a couple of these tourists when they discovered Snapple was available.

Another one is Krispy Kreme Donuts, again very popular in the USA, when I went to London in June this year, a couple of the Tesco Metro's that I'd been in were selling them, whilst the Tesco Metro in Central Manchester they're nowhere to be found.

When I was in the States a few years ago I tried something called Butterfinger, made by Nestlé, it was quite nice, I never know why they haven't launched it in Europe.

I guess it's a Southern/London thing. Here in my neck of the woods they have a whole store dedicated to them in New Malden. I've never visted it, but I hear it's quite popular. Everyone seems to be talking about it.

In the Bentall Centre there's a Krispy Kreme donut outlet in Bentalls itself.

I've never tried them myself - personally I prefer M&S donuts more.

The Tescos Local round the corner from my place in Highgate stocks it.
