British Sweets/ Snacks/ Drinks

I have a friend who is somewhat new to the UK and it has come to my attention attention that they have not tried a fair few British snacks. I have taken it upon myself to show them the wonders of British snacks so that their life may be greatly improved.
I'm thinking of all the snacks I can so I can introduce them to the best of the best, but my mind is running blank.
That's where you wonderful lot come in. Could you please list as many British snacks as you can think of?
You would be helping improve the life of a poor soul who has never tried jelly babies. :tongue:

A simply delightful beverage suggestion of mine is the collected tears of Rupert Murdoch's anguish, rage, and disappointment. Collect fresh (best done when reminding him of the GE polls and results), chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or so, and serve with ice and a slice of lemon. Oh, and a small red flag for that classy touch.

Enjoy.
