American shelf at my local (cooperativly owned) supermarket in the ”food of the world” section. Only sugary, fat stuff and candy. Hehe. 

I bought a Fanta flavour we don’t have. 

You should try the beef jerky.  Low in fat and sugar,

Curious about the Snickers Peanut Butter which we don't have in Sweden... might go buy one tomorrow...

Im not  big on penut butter but their good. I prefer the Almond Snickers. Looks like Hersheys Cookies and Cream there as well, those are good too. If you want to get the full American experiance, might I suggest the Fluff, eaten with a spoon right out of the jar.

I bought the Snickers Peanut Butter. Not worth double from what a normal Snickers cost here, but fun trying. Also bought a "Fanta Apple" which we don't have normally.

Are you saying the Penut Butter kind costs twice as much as the regular Snickers? If so chalk up a point for the USA because their the same price here, lol.
Pineapple is my favorite Fanta flavor.

I like lemon.

We have ordinary Snickers sold here. But not the Peanut Butter kind so it was specially imported and therefore more expensive.

My local supermarket has an American shelf as well. Once in a while I'll buy a box of Twinkies. Then I will feel really bad as I eat them one by one.

Most Americans feel pretty bad eating twinkies too lol

They used to be much better than they are now too, they get to be less and less like food every few years.

Oh come on - they were never anything close to food! The 60’s had even less real food than today. 

Anyone want some Tang?

Spotted at a friend's house over the weekend : 



If this doesn't make us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what does

got some as a kid from the USAF musuem at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton Oh.

oh and velcro, cordless tools, the list goes on.

Swiss engineer, George de Mestral invented Velcro.

Switzerland, the Greatest Country in the World! 

Yes, but it took an American Company, 3M, to perfect it

Wow. I didn’t know that (just like everybody else who he knows more than).

The US elected themselves a champion! They really did. No wonder they’re such a proud country with such an awesome alpha male representing their core values in such a dignified and knowledgeable way.

Man who lost leg in Afghanistan helps Colin Powell with flat
https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/man-who-lost-leg-in-afghanistan-helps-colin-powell-with-flat-1.4268711?cid=sm:trueanthem:ctvnews:post&utm_campaign=trueAnthem:+Trending+Content&utm_content=5c4b24e93ed3f000016dfe68&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR0Aw5RU1nx7FR68Q4PSYVgrAL_zqEboVbHbStJ2KtmzeiEDIB1uuOE-3JI

Yesterday was a reassuring day for me. I was on my way to Walter Reed Military Hospital for an exam. As I drove along Interstate 495 my left front tire blew out. I am a car guy and knew I could change it but it was cold outside and the lug bolts were very tight. I jacked the car up and got several of the bolts removed when a car suddenly pulled up in front of me. As the man got out of his car I could see that he had an artificial leg. He said he recognized me and wanted to help me. We chatted and I learned that he lost his leg in Afghanistan when he worked over there as a civilian employee. He grabbed the lug wrench and finished the job as I put the tools away. Then we both hurriedly headed off to appointments at Walter Reed. I hadn't gotten his name or address but he did ask for a “selfie”. And then he sent me the message below last night. 

"Gen. Powell, I hope I never forget today because I’ll never forget reading your books. You were always an inspiration, a leader and statesman. After 33 years in the military you were the giant whose shoulders we stood upon to carry the torch to light the way and now it is tomorrow’s generation that must do the same. Anthony Maggert"

Thanks, Anthony. You touched my soul and reminded me about what this country is all about and why it is so great. Let's stop screaming at each other. Let's just take care of each other. You made my day.

This story, on the surface, sounds warm and fuzzy, but let's not forget that Colin Powell was the "political general" who support the Bush administrations decision to invade Iraq and continued to support U.S. involvement in the war in Iraq, a war that never had any real justification.
