Head to any Publix in Tampa and you'll probably pay $3 or $4 for a box of Twinkies or Lucky Charms. A little bag of Combos pretzels would probably set you back a buck or two. But in London? Get ready to pay up! I'm guessing this stuff isn't easy to find because when I visited "American Candy Co," my jaw dropped at the prices!
Lucky Charms sell for about $15.94! They better be magically delicious!
.
Combos sell for 4 pounds... that's about $5 US.
.
$16 for jelly beans!?
I love Twinkies as much as the next guy. When they disappeared, a part of my childhood was lost. But when they brought them back, I gladly forked over $4. But $12 a box? I'll pass!
.
I've never seen banana Twinkies... do we have those here?!
.
Chocolate peanut butter Twinkies? I'm intrigued!
.
I couldn't believe all the flavors they had.
.
Fruit-tella? I'm guessing these are Stabrusts?
.
Even though this was supposed to be a store for American stuff, there were a bunch of items that I don't even recognize. Have you ever seen Airwaves?
.
This is another one that I'm not so sure is American. Flake bars? Cadbury makes 'em so they must be good.
.
I've heard of 5th Avenue candy bars, but what is Mr. Tom!?
.
Not sure how American "Traditional English Tea" is.
.
Big Ben tea? Not quite so American.
.
80s kids... remember these?
