Thanks, don' really check out the candy aisles and didn't realize it was a UK list. Doh.
Here's a recent list of the US top 25. Huge industry in terms of sales dollars. Aside from all of the gum products on the list, only two of the candy products have been around for less than 50 years.

M&M's are the biggest sellers here. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Butterfingers are on the list too. I like the peanut butter/chocolate combo; must not be so popular in the UK?
