Don't have those, but we have Whoppers, which I've heard are quite similar. :)
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Belladonna theyre not similar
AbbeyRhode · F
Yes, there is a small British food section in the grocery store here, and I have gotten them. They are better than Whoppers.

@AbbeyRhode When I see Whoppers I think of porno kings.

Or Biden lies 🤥

In the US they're called Whoppers.

Here they are called malted milk balls. The brand I used to get at a Saturday matinee movie when I was a kid were Whoppers. Haven't had any in about 60 years.

@hunkalove several people on here mentioned whoppers so you may still get them
Aidan · 26-30, F
They look like what I call whoppers

@Aidan Don't spoil your appetite with candy.

I've a bag of the dark chocolate maltesers, sooo lush...
AntisocialTroll · 56-60, F
@meggie Check next time you go shopping, I'd not seen em till Voodoo told me of there existence and then I specifically looked for them but they are pretty common in the larger UK supermarkets now, well worth it if you like dark chocolate, a bag accidentally falls into my on-line shopping basket regularly...

@meggie I've tried the dark chocolate Maltesers, got them in Farmfoods. I prefer milk though.
meggie · F
@AntisocialTroll i do thanks so will look out for them
RadioDust · 36-40, M
I like a box of them. They're very nice
Dshhh · M
we have these in the states, they are called Whoppers, here ( not to be confused with the hamburger
Dshhh · M
@MartinTheFirst are they different i a big way? here is is just malted mil coated with chocolate.
or is it different in another small way
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Dshhh The whoppers taste like condensed milk, the chocolate on them just peels off and barely tastes anything like chocolate, on maltesers the chocolate layer sticks to the ball and it tastes like a burst of deep chocolatey flavour
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@Dshhh Also I have the memory of the whoppers being less crispy than maltesers, almost as if the malt sticks in your teeth a bit.

Mmmmm. Call them Whoppers here in the states
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
Yeah, theyre 100x better than milkduds and whoppers
4meAndyou · F
We call them malted milk balls.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
With everybody saying they're the same thing as Whoppers, I Googled it. Maltesers are in fact the ancestors of Whoppers. They were put out by the Mars company in the UK, and then gradually introduced in the US. But where Maltesers have remained the same size, Whoppers have shrunk. Also, Maltesers have a shiny finish, whereas Whoppers have a matte finish.

So there's the difference, peeps. Maltesers are bigger and shinier.
Whodunnit · M
@LordShadowfire And the chocolate will be better.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@Whodunnit Wouldn't surprise me. American consumers are treated like shit by comparison.
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@LordShadowfire I literally went to america and tasted the whoppers myself just to end up in this moment where I can decidedly tell you that no, whoppers taste horrible in comparison.
