Great suggestions. I didn't notice a difference in taste of Nutella between Germany and America. Will pay attention next time. Gummibaerchen are different, indeed. Still the American variety (sometimes produced in Mexico or Hungary) is edible enough.

The East Frisian tea is an awesome idea. I love that, too. Which reminds me that I forgot to buy some Roi des Earl Grey at Mariages Frere this time. Darn it.

Oetker pudding is not a bad suggestion, either. I tried the American chocolate pudding by Oetker and it wasn't great. Have to look on the package again where it was produced.

Curry ketchup is a really cool idea. I must admit I am so well adapted to the American lifestyle now that I am perfectly happy with KC Masterpiece BBQ sauce and peanut butter in lieu of curry ketchup and nutella.

What about stuff in the higher priced range, though? Say clothes, electronics etc?

For example, I buy a lot of nice clothes in Europe that are cheaper and nicer than the US equivalent or the same thing imported to the US. I also find the suits fit me better. They are usually tailored for a slimmer silhouette. However, Germany specific I would be hard pressed to name something. Electronics aren't cheaper here, either. A Braun razor for example costs more in Germany than in the US. It's quite ridiculous. And when you compare the prices of a Mercedes Benz you start to wonder what is wrong. Some of these cars cost almost twice as much in Germany.
