Most of that seems like whatever, but even as an American, the day I discovered the existence of marshmallow fluff still rates very high.
Yep, seems exotic to me
I swear, Europeans must think that Americans drink Marshmallow Fluff by the pint by how well-represented it always is in these sections.
It’s not true, though – we only do shots of it.
I mean it’s mostly foods that won’t expire in a few weeks.
But Annie’s Mac and cheese smacks*.
As an American… much of this is exotic.
I’d also like to point out that Jif peanut butter is 13.25 euros…or just a shade under $20 Canadian.
Finns use it more for cooking than putting on stuff, like we do.
Pumpkin?
Where did they even get Reese’s peanut butter???
Tbh the heinz disney princess pasta is pretty exotic
Lemon jello? I would never choose lemon jello. Ive never been offered lemon jello. I dont remember even seeing lemon jello outside of the box.
That Reese peanut butter is quite exotic here in Canada even. I found it one time at a flea market, but haven’t seen it since.
I’m just curious about why pumpkin puree is considered exotic 🤔
What’s the Heinz Disney stuff?
I’m glad you don’t have to go without canned pumpkin in Finland though
Is that a friggin jar of Reese’s peanut butter?!
Annie’s Mac and cheese is bomb
This make some think I can get away with living in Finland. They got the Reese spread.
Ah yes the peanut butter and marshmallow fluff between two Pop-Tarts sandwich; a staple of any healthy American breakfast and lunch
Very similar to German “American” sections, but with more chips and “mexican” food.
Don’t all grocery stores have a section of foreign products that are unique there, but commonplace somewhere else? I’m not sure why this is somehow different.
I always see that marshmallow fluff on these American aisle photos, but I have never seen it in the grocery stores here in the US.
Man, the more I see these pics of “American sections” in foreign stores, it makes me realize more and more why foreigners think our food is only about and *loaded* with sugar…
I mean c’mon, they’re forgetting all the other stuff.
Like our foods that are loaded with salt
Looks an aweful lot like a shelf at a gas station in West Virginia also.
I like seeing fluff in other countries. It’s made in my hometown!

Finn here.
Usually sections like this in stores are very small, and only consist of international things that aren’t usually worth it to ship here in bulk for various reasons(it isn’t very popular like fluff, or we have something similar that we get from closer with less cost like cocoa powder), that’s all it is. You’re out of your fucking mind if you think that WE think this is “exotic”…
Speaking of international things we don’t want: Hershey’s has an aftertaste of puke, it’s fucking disgusting.
Diabetes cha cha cha
That’s the U.S. section
As a Canadian it always confused me that in every “American/foreign” section in a store when I was in Europe they’d have marshmallow fluff?? In Canada we don’t really use that stuff and I have to know if Americans really use it that much or if the Europeans just think that for some reason.
Funny how the “american” or “exotic” aisle is always just things that children or really impoverished people buy and nothing else.
Exotic says “originating in or characteristic of a distant foreign country” in the dictionary. It’s the right aisle for American food.
