Caramel comes in a number of different forms. eg as a sauce for deserts, or as a hard toffee like sweet, or even as a chewy sweet. Butterscotch on the other hand is just butterscotch isn't it? Basically toffee with butter added after cooking (from what I remember of my childhood when Mum used to make it for us).
Cider over here is always alcoholic. Apple juice is either flat or sparkling. I don't like the stuff you get that doesn't need refrigeration. We usually get the cloudy apple juice which has to be chilled at all times. It's supposedly 100% pure.

And then there was honeycomb which is toffee with bicarbonate of soda added at the end (I think) isn't it? I like that stuff. And peanut brittle (butterscotch with peanuts). Mmmm...I feel like something sweet now.

I had never thought about it before, but considered caramel a candy or something like the candy (more liquid for ice cream topping, for example), and butterscotch a flavor. Now I'll have to look up "toffee", too.

Just to add to the cider/ apple juice debate.
Apple juice is what God intended when he created Eden. Cider gets you the same way as Adam and Eve (nekkid) and gets you doing what God intended (procreating) when he created Eden. Cider is alcoholic and leads to alcofrolics. |

A woman will generally feel better after she's been stung, if she gets a prick in cider.

butterscotch is what old ladies line their pockets with
caramel is what heaven is made out of little known fact: I use werthers originals hard candies as cough drops when I'm sick, no ODing on crappy cough medicine, and it makes me salivate enough to keep my throat from being sore mmmmmmm

I LOVE butterscotch much more than caramel. Much more.
