    Default What can i buy in the US?

    So in a few days I have a friend coming over from the US and he asked me if I wanted anything.
    Theres nothing I really need but it's not often i get the opportunity to get stuff from the US.
    What could i get?
    Thinking of getting things that are not way too big, not gonna be getting a skimboard for example.

    if you live outside the US then your food/sweets/wine will probably be much better.



    Zebra Cakes?

    Might help if we knew where you lived...

    In most parts of the world the correct answer is clothing. Levis you can buy in America for $30 (especially this time of year) might be sold in malls in England for 100 pounds. Back in high school all the exchange students would buy as many pairs of jeans as they could fit in their suitcases and remove the tags and wash them once so they wouldn't have to pay duty on them. I'm guessing some kinds of shoes would also be a win.

    seeing as how the world is pretty international now and most stuff here is made overseas now anyways... i would say snacks/foods/drinks. you will notice that most of them aren't better or worse, just different from what you may have available. not for everyone though, a lot of people i know who travel regularly and don't spend much time here or travel to the US say our snacks taste odd and fake like they aren't quite "real".

    when i travel i usually want certain little things like random drinks/snacks or being able to certain things ie i cant readily drive everywhere i go.

    Yeah, it hard to find something made in the US. Even though it has an old American name doesn't mean it's still made here.=(

    Edit.....just noticed, my next post will be 11,000.

    "Hi everyone!

    I live in Norway, Europe, and I am chocked to learn about the meth-epidemic in the states and Canada today. Here in Europe, meth hasn't been the drug of choice at all, and not that common. What many people often don't realize, is that there is a rather big difference between Amphetamine and METHamphetamine. Meth is far more dangerous and stronger than "regular" amphetamine, which of course also is very dangerous. I have heared toxologists state that "if you look at drug-abuse as a heartbreak, abusing meth is a horror. Why? Because it is EATING up your brain, peace by peace. I know what meth consists of, and you wouldn't have that in you body!!!! It is acids and really dangerous chemistrys including break cleaner, engine starter, gasoline additive, lithium(from batteries), farm fertilizer, lye, muriatic acid,rubbing alcohole and iodine. This @#%$ is what's eating you brain!!
    Experts even say that METHampehtamine is worse than cokaine.

    And of course, all in all, ALL drugs are a horror."
    did you post that shit on that site or something?
