Rural King has the lucky charms marshmallows in a bag(actually the rural king brand) and have hotdogs in a jar. Rural King is headquartered in Mattoon Illinois

I think what they were trying to get at with the hotdogs in a jar is maybe trying to emulate Vienna sausages. For anyone who doesn't know what Vienna sausages are , they're little cocktail sausages that are in pull top cans and can be eaten with saltine crackers or any kind of crackers. After just doing a little goggling , Hershey cereal is sold here in the states at Walmart and on Amazon and maybe other supermarkets. Poptarts at least at my neighborhood big box store Supermarket in So Cal pre 'Rona were $2.99 a box for a box of 8 poptarts. I did get a glimpse of the Belvita Orange Cranberry breakfast biscuits behind Davelle. They are so good , especially dipped in tea. When I worked at a prescholl, we'd give them as snacks to the kids. Gatorade is so American, It would've been cool to see if they had Tortilla Chips , salsa and guacamole but all in all with the exception of the hotdogs in a jar. that American aisle was about a 60/40 representation of American snack food.

Yes, root beer is an American thing, generally. Although they do serve it at McD', or at least did, back in the 80's. Also, you should see a British section in an American grocery store, it's just as laughable if they even bother to have it. Oh, one more thing Paige, people keep taking you to fancy vintage clothing shops, they are super marked-up, hence why I think you have an impression of all 2nd hand stores in the UK being pricy. You need to hit up stores like Sue Ryder, Oxfam, Cancer Research, and Age UK etc. That's where you'll find all your bargain clothing.. That's where Brits take their used good to sell. You won't find those on Oxford Street, you'll need to go to a regular town for that. Ask a British friend, they'll take you, maybe they're too ashamed lol.

Paige even British born Africans and Caribbeans have to get used to having a couple shelves of items like our meat seasoning , it's either Supermarkets or the halal butchers to get African and Caribbean products , and the halal butchers is the preferred option because you get your meat and vegetables yams and products you need under one place. Put it this way you don't see non black or brown people in a halal butchers. And if you do there in there to buy something for there black or brown friend , or significant other.

Twinkies had indeed gone away as a product at one point but a company by the name of Flowers Bakery bought the brand from Hostess or whoever and now they are back. Flowers Bakery is based one town over from where I grew up in Georgia and it was kind of a big deal locally when that happened.

The pumpkin in a tin is something we just don’t have in the U.K. at all outside the American aisle. My local supermarkets don’t sell A&W root beer. But you can get a different brand (tropical sun) of root beer in the African & Caribbean section. It’s not a common drink here because many people don’t like it. In the 80’s and 90’s our mouthwash at the dentist tastes like root beer and it put a lot of people off the flavour. The American foods still can be sold so long as it has a U.K. sticker nutritional label added. Legally need to label if a food has GMO’s or any of the artificial colours (eg: needs to give a warning it causes hyperactivity in children)

Try ASDA, especially as it was bought by Walmart about 20 years ago.

Haven't a clue where in the States you would get something like that and I never want to try it...lol! I also saw someone selling tin hot dogs on the street, something I have never heard of back home either. If we have anything like the jar or tin hot dogs it must be a very, very, very, very, very, very, very small niche market.😳 I got extremely curious and looked up that brand of jar hot dogs and found out it's from Kent, it's not from the US. As far as chocolate goes I think you just have to eat European and U.S. chocolate differently... Just my opinion. I find that if I want to bite and chew a piece of chocolate I like U.S. chocolate better. If I would like to bite and let the chocolate linger on my tongue and melt I like European chocolate better.
