US candy

[Kidsareallhoppedup]

What would UK kids like from the US? I think most things are available in both places now so what is unusual? Particularly candy. I know chocolate is a bit shit, but what do they like for the novelty factor?

I'm thinking about hot cinnamon... but only if they like hot foods!
My kids are half American & don't care for any of the US candy they've tried that you can't get in UK, anyway.

M&Ms maybe.

Sour Patch Kids are amazing! Especially the watermelon ones if they still do them. Not like the crap ones we used to get in the UK that aren't even sour. Twizzlers too.

Ooh yes and peanut butter M&Ms. They are difficult to get here.

Although I should mention that I'm a 37 year old woman and not a kid

Lemonheads? Better than Lemon sherberts.

paradise not judging.... 😂
Oh my, really? ragged? I just bought really expensive lemon sherbets on amazon because I thought they were better 😂
What about fluff? Or twinkies? Too horrible?

Skittles are interesting too because some of the flavours (purple and green) are different - grape and apple rather than blackcurrant and lime.

Fruity's Ju-C Jello Bags (Din Don Foods) are 'tik tok famous' and are impossible to come by in the UK.

The definitely have the novelty factor right now and I don't think there is an alternative here.

Twinkies are officially horrible.
Dunno why but my kids like Hershey's kisses, and you can get all colours over there. Still just regular milk choc inside.
Sour jacks? Sour heads?

Tootsie rolls and tootsie roll pops!

All green sweets should be apple flavoured imo. Who even likes lime flavoured sweets ffs. As yellow ones are usually lemon you've already got that citrusy, sour zing so lime is totally unnecessary.

If they like nuts Pecan rolls are amazing and I’ve never been able to get them here. Caramel and pecan around a marshmallow fluff inside.

I agree with the green sweets being apple proposal too. Although lemon sweets are disappointing and the citrus flavour should be replaced by pink grapefruit.

My niece loves the unusual flavour M&M’s and watermelons sours

Jolly ranchers and the Reeces giant cup chocolate is what my kids like

Not sweets but the crunchy Cheetos.

Twizzlers and Reese's Pieces for us

Rather than sweets I would get some of the different flavoured Oreos - and Kool Aid

We can get Twinkies and Fluff here already

My kids love jolly ranchers

Twizzlers are what my teens always ask for when DH goes out there on business.
Oh and M&Ms. I think they're different from the European ones or something.

Junior Mints!!!!! I was addicted to them!!

OP, my never been to Americas kids loves twinkies! For me... strawberry Mountain Dew!

Hot tamales (for myself, screw the kids!).

Nerds, twizzlers.

The sour candy that comes in a rectangular box like hot tamales, I forget the name .

Sweet corn.

Cinnamon hearts.

Life savers/jolly ranchers.

Peppermint bark.

Pez (can’t remember if we do Pez in the UK?)

What would I give to live in close vicinity of a Duane Reade

Also Ketchup flavoured crisps

I may not be painting myself in a good light here
