I live in Europe and occasionally a gimmick store exactly like this one this pops up that sells only stuff imported from the US, usually chocolates, snacks, drinks etc and god damn it's some of the most vile shit I've tasted, most of it tastes like the absolute cheapest bottom of the barrel shit you can get in Europe.

The only good stuff I've had from the US is Reese's peanut butter cups, that shit is like crack.

We've got a pretty long lasting candy store here that has lived off European imports, it's been around over 20 years tho, I'm Canadian so most of our candy and sweets if it isn't imported from America is imported from England, so its usually just the weirder and wilder varieties of the stuff we have. It's really strange how bad America's chip and chocolate bar game is, feels like they'd be all over it, but trash candy and no all dressed chips

Or some random Oreo flavor like Colgate and Gin.

the imported stuff is crazy expensive, too. i mean, everything is, at this point. but no way am i gonna buy mac n chiis in a box, when homemade is better & much more cost-effective. the whole thing actually pissed me off so much that i started making my own variations of mac n chiis like, semi-regularly... so thanks?

ps. pop-tarts were a mistake

We have European import stores here and a lot of the stuff is fantastic.
