Candy racism ;)

Ladies and Not-so-Ladies, today I had a meeting in our capital and found a little candy shop there. It speSmurfpillsed on candy and other food from around the world. I just HAD to go in and try things.

Now, 10 hours later, there is hardly anything left and I´m angry. I just tried delicious candy from other countries, googled my favourites and found out that they are not available everywhere then in that candy shop here. For example, a Cherry ripe bar (the one we discussed here some time ago) is 2,50.- Euro there. ONE bar!
And Yorkie, a bar I really like too, is 2.20.-

And, not a candy but not available here too, 25gramms of Jack Links Beef Jerkey is... 3,20.- Euro!

OK, I guess it is not easy to get good Original Mozart Balls or stuff like that in the USA, but it still sucks.

So people: Name your favourite "alien" food or candy that is hard to get where ever you live, so I don´t feel so alone with my problem

Jack Link Beef Jerky is $9.40 for the 1 lb bag at Sam's Club.

I like made in Great Britain Altoids(not sure if they are still being made), klene liquorice, toblerone, cadbury eggs, Lindt milk chocolate bars.

Mountain Dew, OK I know its a beverage but.

Until reasonably recently I couldn't get Reese's peanut butter cup cakes either though that has now been rectified

Beef jerky is always expensive, I'm afraid. :/ Have you looked on eBay or Amazon or some underground foodstuff forum? XD

At least you don't have a craving for Cheerwine or, worse yet, a regional restaurant, like White Castle, Rally's/Checkers, or Bojangles... even worse than that would be Sunni Sky's Ice Cream. ^^; I went by that parlour on Saturday and got a triple scoop of pumpkin pie ice cream in a waffle cone... my first visit there in close to two years. @_@

Zack · **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2009, 07:55:43 PM

I enjoy In-n-out, but none on the east coast. As long as I am close to a chik-fil-a or bojangles I will be happy though.

I do get cravings for Cheerwine, and white castle. Luckily I have a friend in North Carolina that comes up to Ohio to visit his daughter a couple times a year and brings me a 12 pack of Cheerwine . He was just here a couple weeks ago

.
Also get cravings for Curly Wurlys Bars but luckily there are some good folks on this site that have helped me out with that

Whenever I'm in Canada I have to stock up on Nestel Aero bars and Cadbury Crunchie

Local hometown Detroit favorites would be Faygo SodaPop, BetterMade Potato Chips, Vernor's Ginger Ale and a Coney Island on every corner.

I love verners. Anyone here like sioux city birch beer?

I special ordered a case of Diet Cheerwine and had it shipped here to California. I love the stuff, only wish it didn't cost so much for me.

At least they aren't addicted to Mast General Store's root beer, ginger ale, or orange soda. Or that homemade root beer like what I had up in Hillsville. @_@

I order Ginger and Black Licorice Altoids on-line because stores rarely stock them.
