American Sweets

[BoyBlue_1985]

The fucking off?

edit: I actually know a website that ships dip from the states. I could never justify using it, as the amount that I would buy wouldn't be worth it for the cost of shipping, but for a group of us it may be worth it

Seen this site cheaper to fly to fucking New York and buy it!!

hahaha, ah right. Perhaps I didn't look closely enough at the cost. Stupid thing is, my missus is American, if it wasn't for me committing not to dip anymore I'd be able to get her family to send me some

Ah well stuff is terrible for you anyway mate. Like smoking 60 cigs a minute through your gums

The place in Ashton on the snipe retail area has loads of stuff. There is a shop at the Triangle and Ye Old Shoppe in St Anne's square sells stuff.

Ahhh, I'll see how much it is and get back to you via a pm!
I presume it's legal for me to send overseas ha ha

Honestly mate, really appreciate the gesture but it is too much to ask. No idea about legality etc, but the stuff itself is quite expensive.

I'll happily send some pg tips to you though, I'm sure you miss them! (or at least are unwilling to pay the huge mark up that is charged when you go to specialist stores)

I had a friend come over last summer with instructions to bring Marmite and Heinz salad cream!
My local stop and shop has a small ''Brit'' section that sells stuff very expensively! (small jar of marmite about £4.50)
It has jacob's cream crackers, jam, digestive biscuits, vinegar, PG tips and a few other bits....

Try World Market/Cost Plus. They have a larger selection of UK products, including some beers and even Ty Nant bottled water, than the typical grocery store. That is where I get things sometimes. Not a huge selection of teas or candies but better than I have seen outside of a specialty shop. You can even buy Spotted Dick there. The pudding, that is.

Too true! some people even get their jaws removed because of it! feels great, though

I don't get the big deal about American Candy or their chocolate. I was so looking forward to it on my first visit to the US. Absolutely tasteless. The chocolate is even worse.

If you want the Ameican candy experience, save yourself a few quid and suck a marble!

Could walk there from my house and I never knew it was there. And I love sweets. Thanks.

Anyone know of a decent retailer of American goodies near Manchester?

There seem to be loads online, but with high shipping costs etc. plus I want to go and choose myself.

The main thing I'm after is pretzel m&ms !!!

I'm coming over for the Wigan game if you want some bringing over<br /><br />-- Fri Feb 08, 2013 12:26 am --<br /><br />

Not American but anyone know where to get mezzo mix?

Also , why is marshmallow fluff so equated with America? Every American themed sweet shop/grocery section has tons of it and I'm not sure I've ever seen it in America!
