In England, we have nothing. For that, I'm incredibly envious of the variety in choice you have in America. · 2:38pm Feb 17th, 2020
I've been searching lately for one thing - Doritos.
I'm fat and I'll deal with that problem one day, but for now, I want to try every flavour possible. The problem - I live in England, where we have no variety.
All we have over here in Doritos flavours are; Cool, chili heatwave, tangy cheese, lightly salted, a hint of lime and a couple collisions. That's literally all the variety we have. But, I found out that such flavours exist, including Spicy Sweet Chili, sour cream and onion, barbecue, habanero, chili, paprika, etc.
We have nothing exotic over here, and if we do, I'm looking at the prices as we speak, they will cost us a lot more than they are worth in any local shop. One bag, standard 80g size, would run you £7+! An average bag around here would cost £1.25 / £1.50, at the very most, and that's for a 280g bag! So, unless you lack common sense or are entirely desperate for a fix of something adventurous, you won't buy them if you live in the UK. And it sucks.
I'm itching on the inside, seriously jittering on a deep level, to try a new flavour only available in America. So, I'm incredibly jealous of you lot over there, where you have the better variety options over us Brits, over pretty much every single snack food we have. That includes Pop Tarts; we only have chocolate and strawberry as the standard option, unless you find an American sweet shop that sell them along with other cereals.
Well, I will do almost anything to get my hands on them, especially the BBQ and sweet chili variants. Those are my top favourite flavours, by far. If I had a PO box, I would love it if I could be sent some by an American. I'd repay you in chocolate and British sweets. Trust me, we have hundreds. We're the biggest chocolate consumers in the world, and we're a tiny island. What does that tell you?
Oh, well. Until I can find a way to get some of them, I'm going to remain jealous and incredibly depressed.
There will be a bag of whatever flavor you want, if you can make it here

If I end up over there one day, then I'm going on a field day. Seriously, I want to hunt every single flavour down and try them all! There's that on my bucket list, that's for sure!

Choice is a big thing here in America. We give people these choices and don't take kindly when others try and take our choice away from us. Part of me wants to trade you Doritos in exchange for these tins of British travel sweets that have citrus flavors.

We have tonnes of those. We're a small bug big country in terms of out waistband size. They only fit because we sewn in the living room curtains into our jeans waistbands!
I don't know what they are called, but my dad always had a couple tins of sweets when we went out somewhere in the car. They were citrus sweets, lemon, lime, strawberry, blackcurrant, and they were covered in flour. Not the best thing to eat if you're not good at dealing with travel sickness.
We also have jelly babies, jelly tots, midget gems, Kopp Kopps (my personal favourite), Blackjacks, fruit salad, jazzies, snowies, Werther's, Cadbury Dairy Milk, Caramacs, parma violets, Malteasers, Revels, Minstrels, flakes, double-deckers, mars bars, snickers...I could go on all day! We have the motherload of all diabetes here! Like I said, most Americans would give us shit for our small island, but we have more sweets and chocolate here than you'd originally think! You probably have some of it over there, too!
Of course, if you're looking for tea rather than sweet stuff, you come to the UK for it. We are a nation built on what we call 'Proper Brews!', the slogan of Yorkshire Tea. If you try it, you'll love it.

The ones I had had this white stuff on them but I wasn't sure if it was flour or just dust from the candy.
That sure is a big supply
And I would most certainly want to try proper English Tea
