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 love american sweets,

you know like koo-aid, american choc, mike and ike's.....

and yes im aware kool-aid is a drink, the best drink ever.

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: )

Actually, yes ... we used it (sparingly!) on buttered toast. Yummy :)

im willing to pay good money to anyone on here who will post me some packets of big red gum. im too cheap to go the ebay way, id be happy to send something over in exchange. Maybe some irn-bru?

what is it?

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.

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?
