Here is a real treat... literally. These Cadbury bars hail from the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and right off the bat you can see a lot of differences between their displays and our own.
No there isn't some creepy metric version of calories that they count in other parts of the world. In fact, the 2,000-2,500 calorie guidelines are just as prevalent over there. I think its neat the way Cadbury prints how many kilojoules of energy are in various serving sizes. According to this page you expend 10 joules of energy when you lift 2.2lbs about a meter off the ground.(Read some info about joules and energy by clicking here)
Their "GDA" (guideline daily amount) system looks very similar to what we use. The %s here are listed to make it easy to figure out how much of your GDAs this candy bar represents. Gotta love the warning "to be enjoyed as part of a healthy lifestyle".
I was hungry when I tore into this bar (the one that isn't opened here I had just borrowed for the pictures). Granted, I only ate half the bar in one sitting, and half the next day. Seems that was right on the money too.
