In Cairo, we had a commissary, so I almost never went to the local grocery stores. I didn't have the time or inclination to make several stops on shopping days, so I was stuck with most of the same products I found in the US. Some of the dairy products were brought from Europe, and there was a small case of deli-type things, but there wasn't much else.
So far I've only gone to the grocery store with someone, so I haven't had the opportunity to browse the aisles, perusing the various and sundry types of sweets and candy that take up one quarter of the store - more than the baking section and dried goods combined. But once I get to have my first solo run, I plan to take my sweet time.
But, today while in the checkout line, I found a familiar product, with an unexpected twist.
Snickers! With hazelnuts!

ooooo that looks sooooo yummy! Was the price decent? Here in Moz you might find a small packet of m&ms every now and then but that tiny packet costs almost 4 dollars or more. And that is the only US candy I've ever seen.
We do have Snickers in Colombia, but not with hazelnuts. Lucky!!
The price wasn't bad; about a dollar? I've found hazelnut M&Ms here, too. All of the American candy, however, is produced in Russia and has about 8 languages on the package (none English). And there is a juice brand that is owned by Coca-Cola. But I haven't seen any actual Coca-Cola soda.
Hold it! I don't seen anything on that candy bar that says anything about "hazelnuts!" For all we can tell, that says, "And now, with more radioactive residue!"
I hear foreign chocolate/candy is superior to our lame-o, bland American chocolate, even the famous name brand stuff. I had a Canadian Kit-Kat once. It's the only thing I will admit is better in Canada.
