[so] speaking of American food/candy/etc, what should I bring to Australia to barter for great favor?

Hey dudes/dudettes,

I'm moving to Sydney in November for a while (1yr visa) in my quest to have an awesome life.

All this talk in the recent AskReddit thread has me wondering what random American foods/candies/etc I should surprise bring my Aussie friends, so that they can enjoy them. Since its nearing Halloween, I'll have access to tons of discounted candy, and I don't think the TSA will hate me for loading my bags with the shit.

I asked in that thread, however I think it'll probably be buried, so I figured I'd ask here!

On the list so far:

  • Reeces peanut butter cups. in bulk
  • Dr. Pepper (if I can take a few on the plane, but prob not)

Leave the Dr Pepper at home.

Most of our lollies use real sugar, not corn syrup, so they taste better anyway. In fact, I cant think of any food (except Mexican, which won't travell well) where I didn't enjoy the Australian counter-part more.

Hopefully an American living over here can tell you the things that they miss from 'Home' as I think that will be the best indication of what we don't have over here that you should bring.
