My sister is in love with these. When she was traveling with some friends in the UK and saw these at a convenience store, she jumped up and down and shrieked, she was so excited to see them for the first time since they were discontinued in 2005. Ostensibly it was because of lower sales, but how could you not want to gobble up these M&Ms with the crispy rice centers?
These aren't allowed in thanks to a 1938 FDCA rule forbidding snacks with "non-nutritive" inserts. In plain English, enough people are afraid their kids will choke that you can only get Kinder Eggs in their native land. But there's hope! One woman has created a petition to lift the ban, so get to voting!
Only in the last few weeks have Magnum bars become available in the U.S., after over 20 years of other countries enjoying it while we couldn't. This is a high-quality ice cream bar (the standard flavor is vanilla, but I love the caramel one) with a hard chocolate exterior and a great shape.
Several celebs have worked with the UK-based brand: Eva Longoria posed in a print ad, while Karl Lagerfeld just released a commercial for Magnum, starring Rachel Bilson.
All of the Toronto-based b5media employees adore these flavored chips, which come infused with their own condiment so you don't have to deal with messy sauces. (Although I'm sure that people still do.)
No, I'm not talking about the brittle fruit-flavored tablets. These are the silky, chocolate-y cousins to M&Ms, and taste just different enough to stand out on their own.
OK, so it's the same ingredients as the American Kraft Macaroni & Cheese... with one small difference. Canada's got the white cheddar and sharp cheddar favorites that, try as you might, you won't locate in the U.S. of A. Then again, the border's not so far...
This cookie -- marshmallow fluff loaded on top of a biscuit, coated in chocolate -- melts too quickly to successfully bring on the ten-hour flight home.
This Taiwanese street food might have been a beloved childhood staple of the older generation, but younger generations don't much care for it, and tourists probably don't even know what it is. Well, let me explain: It's short-grain rice boiled with pig's blood until it forms the consistency of a rubber eraser. Then it's dipped in a pork soy sauce, peanut flour, and hot sauce.
I didn't say you were going to want to eat everything in this gallery. Maybe it's a good thing it's not available in the U.S. due to officials' fear that it's unsafe.
