Americans love bacon

but I've only ever seen them in the UK and a few other countries. They are good and would probably make a killing over here :confused:



I work for a vending company, this is one of those loving super-popular items that make me work harder instead of chilling in my sweet work van.

I doubt that you get these wherever you are, but they are fantastic, and apparently vegan too.

Most American snacks are based on cinnamon and/or peanuts. So if you're not a fan of either then you're screwed.

The only thing I'd recommend trying is a Krispy Kreme. They're delicious, but they've got like a weeks worth of calories so you can eat one and then experience the shame of obesity.

Drink Moxie, I think people prescribed as medicine back in the day and it tastes weird and isn't really all that pleasant to drink and it's so carbonated it actually kinda hurts, but it does have a really loving striking color scheme and label, and is a national icon.

OP, See if they can get you some of this.

It's a local favorite in Michigan and Ohio. It's spicy, more like true ginger beer than the sickly sweet, weak rear end "Ginger Ale" most Americans drink. It also has a little vanilla/oak aftertaste from the syrup being aged in oak barrels for one year before bottling. I grew up with it here in Ohio.

Sometimes you enjoy things you grew up with. Vernor's is miles better than the garbage ginger scented sugar water most people in the US drink. Ale-8-One is also pretty loving good.

I have a six pack of Barrit's and Bundaberg in the fridge. Dark N' Stormy's rule.

Also, OP, you could go for our favorite old timey, charmingly racist Cherry soda, Cherikee Red. It's a Cleveland area favorite. Goes great with our Major League baseball team!

... Dr Pepper tastes gross to my euro palate, and A&W Cream Soda is somehow even worse, like rancid carbonated custard. I poured both of them down the drain. Mountain Dew is kind of 7up-ish, but sweeter and with a really cool color. I might buy that one again.

I'm in a similar position with American sodas here in Australia (all loosely termed 'lemonade' here, even those containing no lemon). There's a sad dearth of other caffeinated fizzy beverages generally available, and I do like my dose.

Mountain Dew manufactured locally now comes with caffeine as of only recently.

Cherry Coke is available imported at rare shops. Though initially I found it too reminiscent of the cherry-flavoured worm medicine my mother dosed us with as kids, the taste grew on me.

Dr Pepper is available at a U.S. confectionary import shop near me, and seems to taste fairly similar to Cherry Coke, maybe I'm tasting the corn syrup and the palate will improve. I like the taste though. They also sell the diet version, I'll be buying a case of that every time I go by.

Like many Americans, I love large fat-filled fast food meals washed down with diet soda.

Take the plunge! Okay!

I remember they sent boxes of them to my high school to test-market them on the students and we all said "bleh" in unison. The extra D did not make them any cooler, in fact.

gently caress all your local-only sody pops, get some Tahitian Treat up in your face. Not even Hawaiian Punch. I want a knock off drank so knock off that the advertised flavor is just "red".
