Gifts And/or Souvenirs From The Us

[grahf]

This is a little bit of a strange question but since this board has a nice selection of people from all over the place, it seemed like a good place to ask.

Everybody like souvenirs, but being as how i live in the US i have no idea what to get people. Im talking about if visiting another country, what kind of trivial things could i bring with me.

I once sent a care package to a buddy in New Zealand; many packs of kool-ade and a box of Twinkees. He sent me back some Weetabix and Vegamite. Thinking that Vegamite was sweet-tasting, I spread a huge smear of it on a piece of the Weetabix. (You can probably imagine the look of shock on my face when the tase hit my brain ... :lol: )

IRN-BRU (pronounced Iron Brew) was first produced in 1901 and become Scotland's "National Fizzy," and has gained a worldwide popularity. It has a mild, citrus vanilla flavor and is made with real cane sugar, not icky sweet corn syrup fructose. It is lightly carbonated.

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

sweet! (literally lol)


I'd do the trade. PM me if you're serious.

 

[loz_the_guru]

YGPM!

I didnt really think about things like kool-aid and gum. Good call guys. Twinkies on the other hand would be cool, but a little unlikely to survive in airplane luggage.

Any non-edible junk we take for granted in the US?
