Cheltenham has a shop called Fizzylips (in the Regents Arcade on the High Street) that sells candy and sodas along with some cereals, Aunt Jemimas maple syrup, poptarts and marshmallow fluff. Only problem is that they sell Diet and Cherry Dr. Pepper, but not the original... Has anyone found original American Dr. Pepper over here? I'm desperate for some... drinking Mr. Pibb just isn't the same. :-(

I haven't read through all 51 pages of posts so apologies if these two online stores have been mentioned already...

1)  http://www.americansweets.co.uk/index.asp [nofollow]
     Also known as The Stateside Candy Co with stores in Guildford and Aldershot (both in Surrey).
2)  http://www.skyco.uk.com/ [nofollow]

I haven't read through all of these so sorry if this has been said!

Anyone in Scotland, or Glasgow in particular: there is a shop on Great Western Road called Lupe Pintos, which masquerades as a Mexican food shop but is full of affordable American goodies! So much better than those Americandy places on the High Streets which are extortionate. I got myself stocked up on pumpkin puree, French's spicy brown mustard, and Betty Crocker cake mixes for really good prices.

Hope that cures someone's cravings!

La Panza in St Johns Wood - has pretty much everything you're missing!

It's actually called Panzer's.

I was in a new Tesco Extra that opened near me recently. I came across two endcaps in the world food section full of OK-priced American foods. Everything from PopTarts to BabyRuth and Butterfingers, to Hamburger Helper and Kraft Mac & Cheese.

They also had an extortionately priced tetra pack of Borden's egg nog.

I was in a small bookshop of all places this morning (in Penzance) and they had a lot of American chocolate, PopTarts, A&W rootbeer, etc. Loads of stuff - none of which appealed to me except for Peanut Butter M&Ms. And I bought a lot of them!  :)

Peanut butter M&Ms are like heaven.   :)

We had one of those super expensive- overpriced American Candy shops open up in our town.  Not worth paying the prices to me!

Indeed they are!  ;D

These weren't actually too expensive. A box (two bags' worth) cost £1.99. It's not something I'd buy every day, but as a treat I thought it was pretty reasonable!

I love peanut butter M&M's. My step-daughter is visiting us for a month and amongst all the items she brought for DW, she brought me a 2lb bag of PB M&M's! Got to ration myself with them! It says a serving is a 1/4 cup! Unfortunately we don't have a 1/4 measuring cup so I had to use the 1/3 cup instead!
Oh and 3 bags of Synders Pretzel Bites - opened the first bag last night - roast garlic and herb - delicious!

Perhaps if you 'accidentally' misplace the 1/3 cup, you'll be forced to use the 1/2 cup!

I walked by a kid eating Peanut M&Ms last weekend and started explaining Peanut Butter M&Ms to DH..... we went to a movie a few days later and he surprised me with a bag of Peanut (not Butter) M&Ms..... sweet...... close.... not the same as PB M&Ms, but close.  :)  I'll teach him one day and he'll experience the wonderfulness that is PB M&Ms.....  :)  Although he's tentative already trying my Reece's PB Cups.  :P  PB M&Ms might be too much for him....  :P

Oh well, more for me!   ;D
