Vienna and I have come over all queer and decided we want to try American confectionary.

Therefore would anyone, on theit next trip to the supermarket be willing to pick a few things up and sens them to the UK?

Namely, we're looking for the following:

Kool-aid
Lucky charms
Reese's pieces

Any other suggestions of good American candy as well?

    Biscuits. I don't mean those cookies you people call biscuits, I mean real, honest to goodness, thick and fluffy, southern style, served-with-gravy-or-butter breakfast rolls. Not candy, but delicious and I understand you don't have them over there.

    Other than that, I don't know what forms of delicious the UK lacks.

    HA!! Bringing out Texas full front. I like it! Biscuits and gravy are indeed freaking amazing.

    More importantly, you don't have reese's pieces?? That's incredibly sad!

    I'm thinking to think of 'American' things I mack on... do you guys have Fruit by the Foot? It's hard to suggest things because I don't know what you have and don't have

    Do you have any Reese's candies? Do you have Frankenberry or Booberry cereal? Go here and tell us what you want.

    See, i thought frankenberry wasn't real. Does count chocula really exist?

    We have reese's cups and nutrageous bars, but not Reese's pieces.

    Those take 5 things sound delicious to me.

    Frankenberry and Count Chocula are totally real. Have you had Reese's Puffs for breakfast? Those have absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever, and they're amazing.

    It's more likely than you think.

    I have this on my photobucket account. I do not have the foggiest idea when or why the hell I made it.

    Also: Cookie Crisp may be the best worst idea ever.

    Seriously, American Goodies.

    A shop near us sells a box of Lucky Charms for £7 a box (about $10.50) and I bet, even with shipping on a few things, a box of the real American stuff would work out cheaper.

    So, anyone willing to do a brother a favour?

    EDIT: Also, I didn't make it clear, but I'd pay for the items and their shipping.

    Shipping for a box of Lucky charms would be at least $20. It's almost definitely gonna be cheaper to order online. Go to the Hershey's page. If you really think it's worthwhile, make a list and I can mail you some candy.

    Seriously, this is why America is fat.

    And this is why Americans have such a hard time in basic composition classes.

    I wouldn't trust that food. It just screams weird guy with poor hygiene picking out marshmallows by hand, maybe taking a quick break to pick his nose, then scooping them by hand into dirty ziplock bags.

    I could do that for a living. I'd throw in ball scratching for free.
