So tell me, what do you call chocolate bars? They seem to call them candy bars in the U.S.
We call our chocolate bars, well, chocolate bars. We don't call anything candy.

We call it a sofa. Only posh people call it a Chesterfield here :P
So what would you call a candy cane? Peppermint cane?
Good question. I think we just call it "that stick that tastes nice". :P
