International Trade

Hello.

My friend Halobits is Scottish. I asked him if they have Mountain Dew (a soda). He said they don't, but he drinks Irn Bru. I never heard of that, so I asked him to send it to me. And he did! He sent along some other candy as well too. Check out what I got:



I already drank the irn bru. you can watch me drink it here: Stickam Video

And now I'm about to try the Double Decker. I'll keep bringing the candies in one at a time and giving you updates on how they taste.


and if you don't live in the USA I would love for you to send me your local candy/soda/food/drink and I would happily send you some back!


Double Decker: The wrapper says it is a milk chocolate with chewy nougatine and crisp cereal filling.



the chocolate and nougate is very soft and delicious. a lot like a snickers. but then there is a rice crispy type cereal. it has the same crunch as a nesley's crunch.

overall very tasty.

 

double deckers are awesome

You'll enjoy it

Curly wurly's are good
Tablet not so much to my taste, way too sugary (it's like an OD of sugar)
Teacakes I could live on
Shortbread is great
Oatcakes are good with some nice cheese on them

 

You going to share the wealth? Come on man you know you want to.

How did the soda taste bro? Was it like Dew?

 

Irn Bru is the best taste in the world
Plus it's tv adverts are amazing...

 

You are so lucky! All that stuff looks amazing

 

thanks for the predictions, maybe as an american I'll think differently though. What sort of cheese do you recommend for the oatcakes?

I will be sending out a sampling to my fellow americans if there is enough to go around.

Oh how could I forget to describe the bru....

well I didn't care for it. It tasted just like the bubblegum that came in a pack of baseball cards. Exactly like it. I let some other office mates try it, they agreed with me or they claimed it tasted just like an orange popsicle/dreamsicle. I don't know what they are talking about. Some said it was great, some said "i'd drink it, but it's not that good" and others agreed it just wasn't the soda for them.

 

Depends what kind of cheese you like...I'm quite partial to some smoked cheese, applewood or bavarian.

Guess the bru is an acquired taste, or just the best thing around here you can get (no MD...). Seems to be pretty big in Russia for some reason...from what I know anyway.

 

yeah I bet if I grew up with it I would love it. I thought it was super neat how all the packaging has different languages on em. some arab stuff, some french, english and I'm not sure what else.

 

Thats cause (well I think it's cause) it's mostly bought by tourists...

 

So maybe two stars ok in a pinch but nothing to write home about. Dew can not be toppled. Some say someday others say it has been both are wrong. Some people's taste buds are wacked man. They liver and things that make me as a Troll sick.

No accounting for taste they say guess that is true here.

 

Can't advise on the cheese front: not a big cheese fan. Honey on oatcakes is more my cup of tea.

 

alright I'll try the honey too then. does it have to be honey from a bear or can I use honey contained in other shapes as well?

 

Vibi is the jealous

 

Best video - EVER

 

wow what a gooooood ideaaa

 

hey if you want to send me some local items I'm willing to send stuff back

 

Everything I can think of is either an international product or highly perishable... got anything in mind that you'd like from here?

 

if only I knew of what you had. is there any local sodas I should know about?

 

Cylon, are you from US?

Have you ever tasted some kind of Milka Chocolate, or swiss chocolates? ( No idea if they sell it over there )

 

can't think of thing that sold in NY but not in other state, but i can offer these (Japanese Soda, there are no cap, you need to push down a piece of marble at the top of bottle to drink it)

Shrimp Chips (best chips ever)


and milky


i once had the strawberry Cheetos and it is one of the funkiest thing i ever eat..can't find it no more here
