Mike and Ike are deadly! The cherry ones. I also devoured a massive bag of Starburst jelly beans.

I used to buy 1/2 pound boxes of these when I lived in SF - cherry was my fav so imagine my delight when I saw a little sweet machine with what I thought were all cherry Mike&Ikes. I quickly deposited my 50c (half of my laundry money!!) and threw a few into my mouth. Sadly they were those disgusting cinnamony War-Heads - they burnt the mouth off me! :rolleyes: Milk Duds and Junior Mints would be my favorites now, followed by peanut and almond M&Ms.

wouldn't mind getting my hands on some vanilla coke which i think is still on sale in Austrailia.

And having lived in America, astonished that no ones mentioned the entenmann's baked goods, o my god its awesome.

Was just about to say that. Entenmann's products are available over here but for some insane reason they don't stock the Coffee Crumb Cake over here. Man, thats some good cake...

Thats what I thought until I tasted it, not the same thing at all
Now if they could strike a deal with them Dime bar dudes that would rock.

Lil Kitten, you used be able to buy peanut butter M&Ms on ebay. Or get an American to send you over some.

I'm going to the US of A in 4 weeks and I'm going to eat ALL the peanut butter M&Ms I can get my hands on for 12 weeks! Then bring back a suitcase full! I'm really excited about trying twinkies too!

I'm torn... really I am. They're unopened, but the thought of selling them for €50 galls me, then again, supply & demand & all that...

Make it €60 & we have a deal

Ooooh... yum! What you really wanna try are the Oreo ice creams. Oh, and the waffles and pancakes. And Cheesy Poofs. And the weird cereals they have. No wonder Americans are obese.

Ben & Jerry cafés ftw!!!!!!!!!!

You still can. Most stuff mentioned is on ebay. Only worthwhile if getting a big amount due to postage, but if you get enough it works out the same as if buying here. You can also get older sweets, including my favourite - coconut mushrooms

Super Hot Cheetos... they made my fingers orange... Oh how I loved those little snacks. 7/11 dollar cookies are soooo good too... Cold Stones Ice Cream! I loved that stuff...

Super Hot Cheetos are a red/wine-ish colour.

Is it just me or do American candy and snacks have way more sugar and salt then ours?

jargonclay

But most US chocolates are available anywhere in the world and since there are many of them, I can't choose just one. They're all yummy!

Ah the cereals are far too sweet for the morning time, at least I thought so. I couldn't handle that much sugar in the morning.
