my supermarket has a new foreign food shelf.
beside the foreign but easy to find and quite established food from China, Turkey, Greece or Morocco they now have the most hard to get, exotic, unknown and fabled food od the world: American ;-)
For the first tim ever I have seen a can of Mountian Dew (well, maybe I have seen one before, I have been to the States once, but I did not realice the importance for our little sub-culture back than) in different flavors, also Dr. Pepper and I discovered that Sunkist still exists but in cans not in little coated-paper boxes.
And famous but unknown things like Peanut Butter and maple syrup are there to.
So please tell me FaWtLies: Which delicacy of you homeland and which flavor of Dr.Pepper and Mountain Dew must I try??
(By the way: even to see cans is exotic for me, they are gone from German stores since more than 5 years)

Original Mountain Dew is the classic - in the green can. Basic Dr. Pepper is, again, the industry standard - though cherry added is nice too!

Regular, Cherry Dr Pepper, Code Red Mountain Dew is a personal Favorite, more because I can only get it by going to TACO BELL, and I hate TACO BELL. hmmmm Tacos.
Peanut butter exotic, wow who would have thought?!?1 Maple Syrup not easily available in a thousand varieties... WOW. I just have Pancakes yesterday for Father's day.

If Dr. Pepper has 23 flavors, is it still Dr. Pepper when you add a 24th (cherry)?

Things that make you go HMMMM.
Maple Syrup not easily available in a thousand varieties... WOW. I just have Pancakes yesterday for Father's day.my supermarket has a new foreign food shelf.
The usual way to have Pancakes in my Region is this:
Pancake with apple pieces in them as side-dish to spicy mashed vegetable soup

I don't drink Dr. Pepper or Mountain Dew, but then I am pretty anti-American (don't patronise many chains) (before anyone jumps down my throat this is not meant to deprecate anyone except myself). Do they have exotic American imported beer or wine?
If you want real American food, eat raccoon and (pocket gopher and camas and) corn! (Parentheses indicate relatively local "food.")

I didn't really think about maple syrup. I guess it is kind of patently "American."

raccoons are (unlike peanut butter) quite common in Hessia, but we don't eat them. they ravage our garbage bins :-)

Yay. Invasive species!
I really did not know that. Sucks. But it's payback for . . . Hmm. It appears the invasives that most readily spring to mind (starlings, Himalayan blackberry, scotch broom, oxeye daisy, bullfrogs, barred owls, douglas-firs, eucalyptus [not here, in California], zebra mussel, knapweed, knotweed, butterfly bush, house sparrows) are not from Germany.
Edit: Starlings, scotch broom, oxeye daisy, house sparrows, and some knapweeds are found in Germany, but probably didn't get here from there.
While researching, OMFGWTF:
In North Carolina it is planted as a roadside wildflower by the state highway department.
Morning all!
Good morning/afternoon.

Cool.

Giant Hogweed is the biggest problem invader here
Wait, bears have a special attack called "hug?"
At least it's not hump.

There are no cans . . . <cues pheramoan>
Cursory perusal of "tin cans" page on Wikipedia: "Germany" not found with crtl-f. Probably cans aren't around to encourage eating locally or something. Or they just use glass.
Wait. What do they put canned food in now in Germany?
cans. only drinking-cans are taxed.
never thought about that, makes the can-tax even more stupid :-)

and there are still a few drinking cans, they are not forbidden, just heavily taxed, coca cola is trying to re-establish them at the moment, they sell coke in half-sized cans now

I like the half-size cans. 12 ounces of soda makes me sick to my stomach.
To the original question: Mountain Dew is gross and Dr. Pepper is only marginally better.
I like my grocery store's international aisle. There's these cookies from Sweden that I can't get enough of.

Um . . . Coca Cola's trying to sell half-size cans instead of selling one full-size can with less metal (for the same amount of liquid)? Do they still sell full-size cans?

Nope. I'm thinking or some of my coonass welder friends and energy workers. (Coonass is their word not mine, and they use it proudly!)
Tordek (& other interested parties): PIE!
On another note, Canadians don't like Maple syrup?
