Why is Ben and Jerry's so crazy expensive overseas. I saw it for like 11$ a pint in Hong Kong and like 10$ in Taiwan.

I never get the last word, and it makes me very sad.
Flaming hot lime cheetos. It's not available nationwide, so definitely try to get some. Best cheetos flavor by far. Bag of fritos + cheap chili and cheese = Frito pie, a sloppy and guilty pleasure that some states take way too far. Funyuns, a slightly oniony snack that's a ring of salt, tbh. I love them. Pop Tarts, a paragon of US factory "food" containing zero amounts of anything anyone would call bread or pastry, but addictive simply due to the thick coat of "frosting". Strawberry frosted pop tarts are the cliché; smores pop tarts are pretty good.

Pretty sure lays are literally called walkers or something in britland, so don't get suckered into paying a premium for the same crisps you can buy in a normal grocery. Sour gummy anything is pretty good. And don't feel bad about not liking Dr. Pepper; it took me years of trying it to like it, and I still think it has a chemical, perfumey scent that's pretty bad. Try the cherry vanilla version; I like it a lot more than the plain Dr. Pepper. For a good American soda, Jones' sodas are pretty good, made with real sugar and all that good stuff.

Oh, and definitely try to get Utz's crab chips. It's crisps flavored with Old Bay, a fantastic seafood seasoning powder most commonly associated with steamed crabs, hence the name crab chips. It's fantastic with beer, and well worth a try if you can get it.

A couple of hipsters opened a store that stocks all kinds of American soft drinks. I went there today for the novelty of tasting whatever nerds on the internet like to drink. I can sure tell you that 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.

But, I'm not here to rant about sodas. The dude that works there, a bespectacled young man sporting an Islamic State style beard, told me they will be ordering snacks and sweets from the US soon and that I can suggest whatever I would like to try via their Facebook page. So I'm asking you kindly to recommend some typical snacks representative of the American culture. Preferably vegan. Not a bowl of dick please.

corn syrup, saturated fat. as for vegan ahahahahahhahahahahha no

Someday I'll be a big producer on Broadway, and you'll be singin' your opera in the street with a tin cup in your hand!
Little Debbie's fudge brownies or oatmeal cream pies are really good.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Reese's Pieces are tasty.

Combos are pretty gross but I feel like they're very essentially American so you should try them just for the experience. Same with Oreos and Pringles.

Ask them to try to get the versions of Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, or Mountain Dew made with cane sugar instead of with corn syrup, they're better.

It may be spelled that way, but urban America always pronounces it "naw-alata", like you would pronounce "Terminator" or more precisely "Terminata".
