susie -> American sweets in the UK (3/12/2010 1:26:36 PM)
Wow I am one happy person. Just found that they have opened a store a couple of towns away selling all my favourite American food you can't normally get here. So tomorrow I am off to buy a couple of jars of Grape Jelly, a few bottles of Mountain Dew, a big box of Saltines and some Tootsie rolls. I am going to have a great Sunday [:)]

Whee! You have enough sugar there, susie? Mountain Dew has a couple of new flavors, Baja Blast and Code Red. How about some peanut butter to go with the grape jelly? And does the store sell corn dogs?

This seems odd to me, I just got exited about finding a British candy shop here

You're doomed.

Thats strange, I found the KitKats in Canada tasted stale compared to the UK ones. Vendaval, no corn dogs. To be honest I don't think I have ever had one even on my trips to the US. I guess I have missed out on something.

Sinergy loves English licorice .. he would trade you tootsie rolls any day of the week for em.

In some parts, English liquorice is a laxative, it is eaten when the need arises to clear the mind.

I do not know about that, but he used to order it by the pounds (both in currency and in weight[;)]) His waistline didn't like it.. He would order me sour balls... mmmmmm yummy

Isn't it eassier to order through ebay? Mostly you get the original stuff.

Jelly is something totally different there than it is here..... Susie.. trust me... stick to the greenish Mt. Dew.....

The corn dogs in the uk aren't like here. Maynards wine gums are in Publix ... since it's pretty much the only sweets I ever buy ... life is good. Pirate

And our jelly is your jello I LOVE peanut butter cups and thankfully we have them in some shops here. Angel gave me a big bag of them when I went and saw her and I think I had eaten all of them before I got back on the plane to go home....oops [:D]

I would rather join al qaeda...So we start a few unnecessary wars and are self centered bullies. If it wasn't for us you would still be listening to the Little River Band.
