    being serious for a second, if you want to do it properly, who is your target market?

    for instance if you're after the outdoors-y lifestyle adventurer (the original image of landrover) then you could do worse than kendal mint cake. it's proper british, proper traditional, was taken on all major expeditions in the first half of the 20th century - hillary took it up everest , so it's unassailably associated with old style british derring-do. and it comes in handy dispenser packs:

    or if your target is more of a metro-ponce who'd never dream of getting it dirty, or worse - those ghastly wideboy green-laners who like to tear up the countryside and generally ruin the place for everyone else, then you'd need something more appropriate for them - sugar-free somethings for the metros, strychnine tabs for the wideboys, perhaps
