Oreo cookies and Kraft Dinner are craved?

They do very well on the convenience front, which is significant, but seem like the some of the last things you would want if you could have anything magically placed in front of you.

Judging by the contents of the little “USA” shelf at my grocery store in a midsize German city, enough of us are addicted. A large packet of Oreos that I would guess is about $3-4 back in the States is 10 EUR, a box of off-brand Mac & Cheese is 3.50 EUR, and I will confess to buying the latter on an approximately monthly basis, despite being able to make real mac and cheese with cheddar and cream, which actually doesn’t take any more time and only slightly more effort.

Other things we are evidently addicted to, despite objectively superior and far cheaper local equivalents: Pop-Tarts, Swiss Miss hot cocoa, Hershey’s syrup, Cheese Wiz.

I find it interesting and amusing to walk by the imported shelf-stable food at KaDeWe. Let's me know what somebody thinks is consumed.

And reading the blurb on the back of the Kriket package is hilarious!
