Our little cousin from America is in town and took her shopping for Irish snacks. What’s your favourite? What did we forget?

1. How could you forget Snack bars

2. When are you getting her Irish snacks?

3. A spice bag and chicken fillet roll.

4. Arizona green tea, proper Irish

5. Where’s the biscuit tin only to be opened and realise it’s full of plasters and Panadol?

6. Viscounts

7. Banshee bones

8. Star bar

9. You forgot Red Lemonade

10. One of my American friends is absolutely CRAZY about drumstick squashies.

11. TK red lemonade, lots of other countries have lemonade but red lemonade seems very Irish. You could also get Cidona, used to love it when I was a kid. Cleeves toffees and Emerald sweets, again very Irish.

12. American cousin in town

    No you were in town and bought them for yourself

13. Red lemonade. We’re one of the only countries where the colouring isn’t banned.

    Maybe a bottle of Cidona too?

    Wagon wheels

    Not sure about the cheaper “penny sweets” like blackjack, fruit salad, dipdab, bon bons etc

14. You got the toffee pops. That’s the main thing.

    Although they aren’t Irish, a box of Tunnocks teacakes would be a grand addition.

15. Club Milk

16. The yellow and purple snack bars!!!

17. Dutch gold

18. Can I ask where you got the Arizona in a carton?

19. This is a decent selection, I would have her try Coconut Creams, Kimberley’s or Mikados as well.

20. TK Red lemonade.

21. Fingers are always good! Also the Nutella here is better than in America so could be a good thing to get.

22. Club orange 🥰

23. Crunchies, Turkish delight

24. Don’t let them leave without giving them a Freddo or 7. Also Stinger bars and Chewits, yeah they’re terrible for your teeth but sure she’s on holiday!

    Haribos, cola bottles, Milkyway. She’ll be going back telling all her friends how great Irish sweets are.

25. Skips, Rancheros mint crisp, brunch, picnic, double decker.

26. Did you actually shame us by buying Tesco coco-pops?

27. Cidona 😍

28. Mikados

29. Well it’s going to be a hot weekend and wibbly wobbly wonders are not made anymore.
    So take her/him to,is it Aldi or Lidl that do jiggly pops.soo good!

30. Tanora

31. Crunchies!! The American fam is obsessed with them

32. Can’t believe you cheaped out on the Coco pops and got store brand rather than the real deal…..

33. Make her a crisp sandwich!

34. You foegot Barry’s.

35. Ya miserable shite … ya could have at least bought her coco pops and cheerios instead of Tesco own brand !

36. A slice pan to go with them tayto 🤤

37. I think the Buffalo flavour Hunky Dory might be unique to Ireland (They’re made in Co. Meath). I’ve never had anything similar in any other country, and they are by far my favourite crisp.

38. r/fucknestle

39. Had some friends over from the States a few weeks ago and they went mad altogether for the Hobnobs.

40. American here who brought home a bag full of candy bars from Ireland. My favorite was a Lion bar.

41. Cadbury chocolate.

    The American Cadbury is owned by Hersheys and apparently isn’t as nice as the European Cadbury

42. Where the Mint Crisp ?? The club orange and club lemon to make a Rockshandy ??? Lol

43. Where are the salt n vinegar…..

44. Icebergers?

45. I’ve lived in the us since 2009 and when mum and dad come to visit they have to bring crunchies, fruit pastilles, jellly tots, freddo bars, gold bars, celebrations/ quality streets and hp sauce. There must be a sample supply in their carry on or I won’t pick them up from the airport

46. All the dairy milk. North American dairy milk is horrible.
