American Junk Food Recommendations

[Luke Pearson]

One of the lads from work is going over to the US tomorrow and wants a shopping list of junk food / Candy to bring back. Anything we dont get in this country...

What can PH recommend?

So far we have:

Twinkies
Tootsies
Chocolate Chip Pancake & Sausage on a stick
Runts
Reeses

Obviously we can get oreos over here now so they are off the list...

Hershey Chocolate

Surely you aren't serious? Hershey has to be the worst excuse for chocolate ever.

They have these little chocolate cupcakes filled with peanut butter, that come in orange wrappers. They are utterly gopping. The peanut butter is still stuck to the roof of your mouth hours after you've sh@t the little bd.

ETA - ah, I see, they are called Reeses (as mentioned by the OP) and are made by Hershey. Figures.

I too think that all American confectionary is much inferior to ours - we went to Hershey Park when we were in USA as a "Treat" from our American hosts and had loads of chocolate forced upon us - truely awful stuff!

Chocolate is very subjective...

...I used to like Hershey's "Kisses" in moderation...

[BigBen]

Butterfingers bars, sort of like a bigger dime bar but much nicer.

Actually, you can get M&Ms in blue packets, they have a kind of cross between Maltesers and Rice Krispies inside the chocolate shell. Chuck 'em in the fridge for an hour and tuck in

As posted in your other thread.

Hersheys
Ghirardelli (Superb Stuff! )
Cookie Dough
Funky Leprechaun Cookies (when I'll remember the name I'll edit this.

Hersheys kisses actually taste of vomit.

I once went to the States and brought back a massive tub of Chupa Chups....

[randomman]

+1 for cookie dough.

You can probably get peanut butter jelly here, but it has to be best stateside.

How about 1,000 tubs of ben & jerrys as IIRC you don't need to remortgage your house to afford 1 tub over there.

That's a bit like forcing continental Europeans to eat Cadbury's "chocolate", a nice punishment for anyone who has eaten real chocalate from Belgium, Switzerland, France, Germany. I even had fantastic chocolate when I was in Riga where there is a dedicated cafe for handmade quality chocolate.

go for the Cereal's

Lucky charms
Count Chocula
BooBerry
etc

You can get them here in limited stocks but they are £6 a box!!

[bkay88]

'Fluff' is good in moderation.

[toasty]

Cheetos

[HOGEPH]

Jelly Belly!

Forget the candy bars, you need to find yourself a Wendy's.

Last one I went to, the dude serving was rounder than he was tall, probably by a factor of 2. He'd never get his stubby arms into his pockets! Must have an "eat your mistakes" policy I thing.

Great burgers, miles better than anything from BK or MacDogburgers. A veritable feast of weapons grade proportions.

Can't really bring a Wendy's back though can you?
