Story here.

Russians prefer their Lay's potato chips dusted in caviar and crab flavors.

The Chinese like their Oreos stuffed with mango and orange cream.

And in Spain, Kellogg's All-Bran cereal is served floating in hot coffee instead of cold milk.

Companies do have to change things around to boost sales, but cereal in coffee is something I don't believe I could try.:P

It's interesting to find out about different cultures.

If it can't be fried it ain't worth eating.

Coincidently a friend in Dallas tells me that's the Texas state motto.

Yeah, it's fine as a spice or marinade or something. Drinking it just sounds nasty.

Oh I remember one thing I tried some weeks ago... Fish snacks. Dried fish it was. The smell isn' that bad, but the taste, what little it had was just awful.

Depends. If it's flash fried, no. If they cook it for a while, yes.

Not if it's flash-fried. Although it those Snickers are truly deep fried then yeah, it probably would be a gooey mess.

I wouldn't mind seeing some American snacks over here in the UK, like Lucky Charms, Lays, Cheetos and the various flavours of Pringles and M&M's. Mint M&M's sound so good, as do the Almond ones and the white chocolate ones, all we get here are milk, peanut and crispy. We don't get Lucky Charms here due to them being popular, and Nestle wanting to divert that popularity to their terrible chocolate cereals. We don't get that many flavours of Pringles here either, the honey mustard flavour interests me. And Lays are very rare here, usually they're sold through Polish shops, but not that many flavours.

When you get deep fried icecream, the crust ins't actually warm by the time you get it.

Of sorts,only Lays are a lot better and they aren't as bad as Walkers with their green, see through and burnt idea of crisps. Lays always seem to be in amazing condition and actually edible, unlike Walkers. I've only ever had the plain, which I love, would love to try the salt and vinegar, tomato and beef flavours if they ever appear over here.

Wait you DON'T have beef flavoured crisps where you are? I knew a lot of places don't have prawn and cocktail, but beef seems rather standard (although I'd say the same for prawn and cocktail)

We don't have them here in the states. With our insatiable taste for beef here, you'd think we would. :lol:

I usually have a pint of Bud in the pub. It's cheap and it's very refreshing when ice cold. Then i went to America and holy hell no wonder you guys drink 10+ beers in a sitting. Pepsi is stronger than American beer.

Nope, budweiser. Plain old red-label Budweiser. Tastes completely different in America to how it tastes in europe. I think europe has a way higher quality minimum bar for beer.
