Its Friday, so that means its time for another round of oddities! This week, I decided to comb through a local grocery store, and see how many products that I recognized as being offered in the exact same form back home in the United States. The list was short, but interesting nonetheless.
Jump in!
 |
In the off chance that you felt you needed somewhere between
fifty to one hundred boxes of weird, internationally flavored Pringles. |
 |
| Don't worry, the cannibalistic cereal pieces are still on the box. |
 |
| Something's not quite right about that bee... |
 |
| I actually kinda like the German name for these better! |
 |
It may be sideways, but I still think Wendy's
will throw a fit if they ever make it over here. |
 |
The bars are smaller. Not by much, but just enough to
make buying one that much more of an internal debate. |
 |
| Look at that gum though. |
 |
Arizona Iced Tea. Even over here, the weird flowery
bottles are invading! |
 |
"Diet Coke" is "Coca Cola Light" here.
I know, just let it sink in. |
 |
Absolutely no love for Pepsi. Something about this just
feels right though. |
 |
Why specifically is Uncle Ben's so popular here?
Its in every grocery store. |
 |
Is it bizarre that the completely non-Mexican Mexican food
is the thing that reminds me most of home? |
 |
I don't think the Germans have a brand of actual cream cheese.
First person to find one gets an ice-cream cone.
You're buying! |
For your Amusement:

This is a sugar cone. This is how the Puritans would have
bought sugar. Think about that. |
 |
This is "Leipziger Gose," a local type of beer.
Its sweet, but in a very, very weird way. |
 |
| Oh hey, its Red Bull! |
 |
| Wait a minute.... |
 |
| I think you have enough, people! |
 |
| Seriously though, sleep is a good alternative sometimes!! |
Proverb of the Day:
Falafel is a breakfast food.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
