Quite possibly there's a dialect difference at work here. In several countries (such as the UK, Australia and NZ) biscuit means what north americans would call a cookie. What north americans call a biscuit would be known in those countries as 'some ungodly abomination of a scone'.Aerodyamic said:
That's it, L&P!! It's pretty much sex in a can, and I would also describe it as the greatest carbonated beverage of all time. However, I've only ever found it to be available in New Zealand, I thought they might have it in the UK, but no luck so far.liveslowdiefast said:
Also, what? They don't have Dr. Pepper in the states?
twinkies are yellow cake with a filling in the middleJack and Calumon said:
i am not american but they do sell them in canada as well

i can't really think of anything that one country has that i don't
EDIT:
no wait WAIT! i got one!
a deep fried mars bars
they only sell them at fairs
even though they are so unhealthy it is a good thing to say yeah i had one what of it!

And to many of them 'thin' means 'taller than you are round'
Fruit Loops are so delicious.Jack and Calumon said:
OT: My friend went to England and he brought back some chocolate. I have to say it was a delicious and I'd like some more of it. Even though the best chocolate on the planet is Hershey's white chocolate or any white chocolate for that matter.

They, along with Lebanese grandmothers, also have the ability to produce massive amounts of food from nothing. Years ago a flatmate's Lebanese grandmother came around, told us "You so thin!" and proceeded to whip up a massive meal despite the fact that to our knowledge the only foodstuffs in the house was some ancient 2 minute noodle, a bag of flour, half a bottle of imitation vanilla essence (I drank the bottle of real vanilla essence one night on a bender) and the very spartan spice rack.
Yeah, some branches of Martin's, McColls and Sainsbury's are trialling sales of the new Mountain Dew Energy, but it's a Red bull style mutant version of Mt Dew, and isn't as good as the original US Mt Dew.
The only real option is importing cases of cans, which still costs about £30 for 24 from online stores.
There's an online telephone store that sells 8 2 Litre bottles for £20, but it's from Poland I think. Not sure how near the original that would be, but reviews seem happy with it.
Froot Loops, Lucky Charms etc, they so need to re-release this stuff over here in the UK, I'm getting more and more pissed at Britain, and their obsession with making all the food healither, my dad's even pissed, because he likes a digestive biscuit with his tea, and they've ruined them by reducing the fat sugar and salt content by like 30%.
Not a new 'diet' biscuit next to the original, no...they've just screwed up something that was doing well for about 100 years and made it a bit more healthy and lot less enjoyable.
Damn, tho, if I ever get rich, I'm so going to tour the US on a junk binge. America knows how it's done when it comes to obscenely fatal food, and I love it.
while I'm on the subject, did anyone else feel a bit pissed at 'Supersize Me'. He's on a constant diet of tofu, lettuce leaves and water, and he chooses to spend a month eating only McD's stuff. If he'd gone on a health meat diet it would have messed with his system, because it would have been a shock to it. Also, (and I know there's a lot of people who don't understand this bit) fast food isn't made to be eaten 3 times a day, every day.
TL;DR version: for fucks sake, we KNOW it's bad for us, now leave us alone to enjoy it!
