I've seen loads of Cheese & Onion...but this was the first time I've seen SC & O special flavour for St Patricks Day (a little late methinks!).

That's weird, I've never seen Cheese and Onion Pringles before, but I've been eating Sour Cream and Onion Pringles in the UK for about 16 years now  :-\\\\ - Sour Cream and Onion was one of the first flavours available in the UK and has been sold here since the early '90s!

Ok just call me stupid  [smiley=oops.gif]. This is the first occaision in the 3 years I've lived here that I've seen them. First time I've seen SC & O in any type of crisp....obviously I live under a rock.

I might be the last one on earth to see these, but Morrisons had one flavour of Pop Tarts in the cereal/snack bar aisle today - strawberry with icing.

I don't recall ever seeing pop tarts outside Cyber candy and other importers before...

Pop Tarts used to be more readily available here in the early-mid '90s, when they were first introduced in the UK, but they didn't really have the same success as in the US so I guess they're not really sold in many stores now. Having said that though, the ASDA, Sainsburys and Tesco websites have them in the Chocolate and Strawberry flavours only.

Yes, they've had the PopTarts for awhile now, but only in a couple of flavours or so, like ksand24 says.

Did anyone notice Walkers is doing a sour cream and onion one now? Tastes just like I remember them in the US. Yummy. It seems to be a fairly recent addition, I only started seeing them a few months ago.

I'll keep these links in mind. Already know what foods I'll miss. Mt Dew being one of them.
