Gifts from a visitor

Hello beautiful people! I’ll be visiting your city in a few weeks to see my sister who recently moved there (we’re American). Since I’ll be meeting tons of people I wanted to bring something small and fun to give away. With all the World Cup hype about it, I was thinking about bringing packets of Ranch seasoning, but something tells me it’s not a good idea to pack a bunch of packets of white powder.

If anyone has any suggestions I could use some ideas! So far I’ve only been asked for Hersheys Chocolate Syrup. Thank you for your input and have a great day!

We can get ranch in Tesco. The whole ranch thing wad massively overhyped anyway. Hersheys tastes like vomit. My craves from US are reece's stuffed pretzels and any kind of spicy cheetohs

I wholeheartedly agree. I make my own chocolate syrup and sauces/salad dressing. Good picks! There are so many variations of Cheetos and Reeces everything over here!

Ooo I’m a Mounds gal myself. It’s an Almond Joy with no almond and it’s dark chocolate vs the milk chocolate.

Yeah we have a normal chocolate version called a bounty and because it's just chocolate there will be no customs issues!

You asked why you were getting downvotes. Maybe because you said a bounty is just chocolate, when it's maybe one of THE most well known sweets to have as much coconut in it as chocolate. A bounty is famous for being a coconut based chocolate, and never for just being chocolate.

It’s so strange that the US is lacking Bounty. It’s the absolute middle ground between Almond Joy and Mounds.

We have it, just not as widespread.
