Even though they now sell Skittles Crazy Sour in Germany, they are not the same thing. The US sour Skittles are probably lethal, the ones in Germany I would call: sweet without a hint of sour. Fucking liars.
Anyway, get a bag of US Skittles Crazy Sour.

Is sour illegal like blood in video games in Germany?
Nope. I assume it has something to do with trying to appeal to local tastes, such as Coca Cola has different levels of sweet in different parts of the world, even differs within Germany.
Also the blood thing in video games is such a past cliché. The law has been readjusted so that games can simply get a 18+ rating and still be sold etc. Old bans are being lifted or games have been re-released under the new legislation.

I was daring and had a Hershey bar recently. It was very boring. Had some other yank thing as well. Tasted of fudge, but apparently was not.
edit: aha! A tootsie roll. It too was very boring.

Best way to eat a Twinkie:
+1 was just about to bring this up.
I didn't have a fucking clue what a Twinkie was until many years after Ghostbusters had come out.
Does everything in the US have corn syrup in it? No wonder everything is so sweet.
Pretty much
To the point where it's actually something of an adventure to find cane sugar-sweetened stuff, yeah. My friends and I back in highschool used to to 'border runs'. There was a convenience store about 50 miles north of us, a stone's throw from the Canadian border, that actually had glass bottle Coca-Cola with real cane sugar. We always thought they imported it from Canada. Goddamn was it worth the two and a half hour trip.
Cap'n Crunch is...interesting. There's a specific technique to eating it safely, and if you don't, it's like grinding a mouthful of crushed glass into your gums. Small spoonfuls, line up the individual pieces in your molars, and make sure there aren't any bits near your gums. That or you let it go all soggy in the milk first, but who wants that?
-O
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those Thukkers, that way I wouldn't have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody.
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS for short) is incorporated in practically every product in the US, largely because of the changes in corn production subsidies that Nixon introduced. It consists of fructose, glucose and residual unprocessed starch. Common variants are HFCS 42 and HFCS 55 (the number indicates the % of fuctose), where HFCS 55 is equal in sweetness to regular sugar, hence why this variant is most often used as a sweetener or sugar substitute. The soft drink industry is the largest consumer of HFCS, since HFCS is a liquid and is easily managable in soft drink production, but almost every product has some HFCS in it (may appear on labels as "natural sugars"). In the EU, HFCS is less abundant since corn production is lower.

I've had deep fried twinkies before at the fair, and they were really bland. I was not impressed.
I'm honestly not sure. There are somethings that taste not quite as good as it did in my childhood (Hershey chocolate bars for one) but it probably stems from the increasing list of shit we shouldn't put in our foods. For example when we (the U.S) banned trans fats (or came close to banning and the food industry just removed it instead I forget) the quality of day old pizza took a nose dive compared to what it used to be. The other part of it could be my palette is drastically different from my youth, I know my enjoyment of sweets had taken a drastic nose dive sometime around when I turned 24. Now entering my mid 30's if I buy something sweet I better have someone around that will eat it otherwise it just sits around until I throw it away. The only exceptions are home made cinnamon rolls and high end jelly beans (cheap jelly beans need not apply).
Also I have never EVER seen the "Kernel Seasons" that micronova posted, my guess is it will be very salty unless you really like salty things don't do it.
Also also, is shipment an expensive problem? If not why not ask the Amerifags on the site to send you some of the shit you feel like trying? I have no qualms trundling my ass to a market and picking some stuff up if you unamerican socialist commies would pick up the shipment costs.
Yes. I'll give you an example for a reason why.
Spoiler:
If the anti-sugar movement gets any good traction that might change some day. Though I doubt it, we're still giving the sugar (real sugar) industry subsidies in spite of them making record profit. Basically for the same reasons in spite of the folks that run the oil industry telling congress directly and unmistakably that they do not need subsidies they still get subsidies.
Obviously given my choice of spending £10 a box on twinkies, price is not a problem. The reason the original SHC chocolate review thread boomed is that its literally impossible to get shit like that over here (or was until this new place opened up). It takes two weeks minimum to ship something internationally, and when food is involved, two weeks alters it significantly enough being thrown about and stored in places food shouldnt be stored, let alone it will just go bad within two weeks anyway.
And of course, thats before you consider customers throwing a shitfit at any form of liquid/foodstuff crossing international borders. If i order stuff, it will probably just not even arrive. The only time i was able to get my hands on was when it was a gift from someone coming back from the states, so it was hand-luggage and fresh enough to be acceptable, and it gets let in as a souvenir that way. Also, anything that is manufactured and distributed locally is completely different because of EU standards, and thus pointless as its not the US experience. Apparently, these guys get around that by selling "novelties" or some such, i dont care.
People used to ask me all the time to do more foreign crap-food review threads just out of thier sheer curiosity, but it just wasnt possible. Now that i actually have a local outlet i may consider it again, if people even still give a shit.
Ah fair enough, though I guess it depends on what is being asked for. That popcorn seasoning being one example it could take a year to ship from point a to b and still have the same quality*.
*for a very loose use of the term quality.
Pffff that is boring
the best is a deep fried Double Decker
It would very easily survive all but the harshest conditions. Each little bottle is ~100 servings, I think we've had this one for at least a year. Hard to say if its degraded in quality or not, I just put more on until it tastes appropriately cheesy.
RE: Salty or not, it has 75mg per serving (3% of the RDA) but it doesn't taste salty at all, kinda sweet.
But we are talking junk food here, so don't worry about the health effects of any of this stuff. It will kill you eventually.

Your doing it wrong.Well, that was surprisingly nice and boring. It's just a standard cupcake style cake with cream that's slightly sweeter than normal. It's like the kind of cake where you can taste whoever made it was a little heavy on ingredients and you can taste the butter in it. For size, comparison photo below.
What turned out to be the most AMAZING THING EVER, if you didn't notice in the original pic, was the jar of Marshmallow FLUFF. That stuff...... Mother of god.
Twinkies need to be consumed with Dr. Pepper.
