Americans of Reddit what american snacks/food should I try

It's really going to depend on what they have and what your tastes are like. You probably won't be impressed with our chocolate if you're somewhere in Europe and more acclimated to "Swiss"- or "Dutch"-type chocolate. But do give it a try so you can at least sympathize with our plight. LOL

I've no idea what you normally have access to where you are, but some interesting snacks would be something like Combos, which is a pretzel outside with a cheesy filing, and the cheese comes in many different flavors. You might look to see if they have Bold Chex Mix, or Gardetto's Snack Mix. They're sort of garlicky, and strongly seasoned.

Oh, another interesting comparison (which will again elicit your sympathy) is to see if they have Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, the actual American kind. You'll know it's the American kind because the ingredient list will look NOTHING like what the same product - Kraft Mac & Cheese - has listed as ingredients. Ours is full of chemicals. Kraft likes to poison us, not the EU.

Hot Pockets are sort of... weird, but in mostly a good way... at least if you're young and not worried about nutrition. My kids love those things. I'm pretty sure for the first 6 months they lived on their own, they ate nothing but Hot Pockets, much to my disgust.

To be honest, much of the food you find there is probably going to be something of a disappointment and a "downgrade" from what you're used to. Our government doesn't require companies to use even remotely pronounceable ingredients in our food products, so much of what's likely to be shipped to an "American store" overseas is probably crap, since it's likely pre-packaged garbage with a long shelf-life.

There's a reason so many of us shop at places like Trader Joe's & Whole Foods now - and why we're paying a high premium to get foods that haven't been created in a laboratory with ingredients most human beings can't pronounce.
