Who in the US calls them 'Roll-Oh'?

These are also sold in Canada, and widely marketed. I'm surprised I'm the first one to have noticed. 64.229.149.136 12:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

It seems that in general, UK-originated chocolate is much more widely available in Canada than in the US - a few examples off the top of my head being Aero, Crunchie and Smarties - though I've noticed that it's always described as "Candy/Friandaise" rather than "Chocolate" on the wrapper. Maybe it's that "things with vegetable fat don't count as chocolate!" thing that the US also has. Loganberry (Talk) 23:48, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Smarties are widely available in the US (I love them but I have never heard of the Aero and Crunchie. Probably you're right. Also, in America (during lunch) slushies count as fruit, and French fries (or chips in the UK) count as a vegetable. Szokusia (talk) 16:08, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

US Rolos

Might want to add in here that US Rolos differ from UK ones in that the caramel is chewy rather than runny. Quite revolting actually - but then, that's Hershey's for you.70.189.213.149 (talk) 22:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

You want revolting? Try beans on toast; but, that's the British for you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.32.49.92 (talk) 16:07, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I am eating a tube of Rolos made in UK right now. Their caramel centre is easy to chew but not runny at all. 217.186.193.43 (talk) 03:53, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

This makes no sense

>>>>They were advertised for many years with the slogan "Do you love anyone enough to give them your last Rolo?". However, the number of Rolos in a packet was reduced to an even number, suggesting that the slogan no longer is appropriate.

When something is of an even number, you can still give someone your last of that something. Whether you start with five Rolos or six Rolos is irrelevant; there is still going to be a last Rolo after you eat all but the last one. Moncrief (talk) 22:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

I saw this too. I'll take it out. 70.171.28.98 (talk) 17:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Not a true frustum

The indentation at the top means it's not a true frustum as it's not sliced by two planes: one plane and a wibbly thing instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.24.80.156 (talk) 11:01, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Jasper T. Rolo

The claim that this is the name of the inventor seems to have just popped up [1] here, and the sentence doesn't quite read right. It sounds like someone just made this name up and inserted it. The name definitely sounds fake. The account in this section also contradicts an earlier part of the article which claims the name is in reference to the shape and packaging. Not one of the reference links still works, so there's no obvious way to verify the supposed creator. A Google search just gives results that appear to reference this article. --Embolalia (talk) 20:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
