Why can't you get these in the US? It seems like they would be incredibly popular there.

No. Never. |
Centrum vitamins from the US - it's not that you can't get them in Germany, but they're 5-10 times the price (mostly because they're only available in pharmacies and in miniscule packages, like 30 or 50 tablets). My father still has his Costco card and brings back several of the outsize bottles (300+ tablets) of the stuff whenever he flies over.

USA: Co-enzyme Q10 and super Vitamin B complex (Walmart or similar) 25% (or less) of the price in Australia
Thailand: anti-fungal cremes (script in Australia at 10x the price) Happy shopping Fred |
You can get T-3 (aka Tylenol 3) in Canada behind the counter. They ask your name and write it down. Funny part is, they don't check your ID! :D

That's a shame. I need to go regularly to stock up on Digestives and Coffee Crisps. ^

Both of which are plentiful in Canada. :D

From the USA ...
Hallmark Christmas/Keepsake Ornaments (I'm stuffed I can find them over here - Its a Mileage run in itself to get them now each year - I'm sad enough to have the Star Trek/Star Wars ones in my flat) Oreo's (Yes you can get them at Farm foods.. but they don't taste the same - Selfridges ... you're look at lots for not a lot :() 200/400 pack Advil :D (as alex0683de said - you can get it, but in minuscule amounts - 32 packs are never enough!) Hmm.. that's shopping list in a couple of weeks! :D *thinks - is this leading to a FlyerTalk swapshop of products you can only get a certain country?* |
Falke socks. Great reinforced sport socks. very comfortable. I wear them every day. I believe they are made in Austria. Expensive but I have yet to wear a pair out after 2 yrs. The toes are labled with an r and a l. very teutonic, I love them. Have not seen them in the US.

If it's legal, I don't see why not!
My friend in Canada swears that Oreo's in the US taste better than the Oreo's in Canada... I don't eat them. JP

Canada: President's Choice cookies... mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Canada/USA: Crest toothpaste (available in the UK, but not the same...) South Africa: Banditos pickled jalapenos (haven't yet found a good enough UK substitute), fruit chutney crisps, cream-style sweetcorn. Also Myprodol (paracetamol with an anti-inflamatory), available OTC in pharmacies -- Mike |
The super large (compared to US variety) kleenex or tissues. I buy the big packages at supermarkets everywhere in Europe. I have to get the large packages now, all my friends want them.

Meltykisses when I go to Asia: "Gently Melts in Your Mouth Like a Snowflake."
