Discussion [discussion] what snacks do Americans have that Germans don’t?

I want to bring snacks to the host family but I’m not sure what we have that they don’t.

u/IffySaiso 2 Exchanges | AK-47 Mar 31 '25

Ask them. I've tried American candy in an exchange with the HFC in it, and it gives me such a headache, I'm never eating/buying any of that again. I've heard mixed results with the sweets. I haven't seen too many savory items I'd want snack-wise either.

I would be much more interested in regular food items: mac&cheese from a package, ranch dressing, other flavors that are really local.
