Things you desperately miss?

I'll have a look. Although I miss them, I've lived without them for nearly 4 years. Now velveetta shells and cheese....I pay for that, and make all my co workers who go to the states being me back some

Last year I was craving Wachusett Barbecue Chips and a friend was going to send me a whole care package with these chips, plus their Ripple Sour Cream and Onion ones, Yellow Box Cheerios, Pumpkin Coffee and Near East Rice Pilaf.
But then she cried at the postage so it never made in the post.
But, I was in Mass last November and I got my Wachusett Chips.  I was enjoying them, but only needed a tiny handful, because I found them way too salty   

It's no fun when things don't taste the same as you remember! 

I'm now really wanting a Hoodsie Cup, but that definitely won't ship in a care package

Phatbeetle, are you from a different America than me?   You just named 4 more things that I have never heard of.  Yellow box Cheerios?  I've eaten plenty of Cheerios, I think you can get them here, but what about the yellow box? 

Also, pumpkin coffee?  That sounds suspicious. 

Heheh, I just call your bog standard US General Mills Cheerios as  "Yellow Box Cheerios" - as opposed to the multigrain kind you can get here (which also taste quite sugar coated?)

Pumpkin Coffee a

Every fall I miss pumpkin flavoured goodness....and fall in new england in general with all the activities that go along with that....but the pumpkin spice flavours pain me to miss out on! lol

Wachusett might be more of a locally made type of chip? Like we had UTZ and I don't anybody outside of MA/New England would know about UTZ chips but I might be wrong haha.

But Pumpkin coffee.. How've you not heard of that?! They started doing Pumpkin spice over here now too lol Not sure how you missed it!

Yeah, it's a local/regional chip to Massachusetts (New England?)
UTZ, aren't they a Mid Atlantic thing?   I don't know if I had UTZ much growing up, but I certainly had Wachusett chips.  Washed down with Polar Ginger Ale.

Are you talking about Pumpkin spice Latte?  Like at Starbucks?  Where they mix some sugary syrup in?

Both are New England (I'm assuming Wachusett as in Wachusett mountain - now I have the jingle stuck in my head lol).

They've actually changed their syrup as of last year so it is now made with actual pumpkin and less sugary syrup lol but yes. Variations of that is what I believe they were talking about. Places do their own version of "pumpkin spice" but it's effectively he same thing but slightly different tastes depending on where it's from.

I have seen pumpkin flavored coffee in the states.. not lattes but in the grocery shops.

I am from DC and we had UTZ..party mix, the cheese balls and curls are my favorite...possibly better curls than cheetos...yeah I said it.  I had Cheetos here, the curl type, supposedly hot and they were awful...my husband got them bc he knows how I love my cheese balls...I didn't even recognize them as Cheetos until I looked at the brand on the bag

Fair enough! It looks like they had originated in PA. Not spoken to anybody outside New England who knew much about UTZ so just assumed it must be local.

I like pumpkin spice lattes and miss them when I'm here, but I like making filter coffee at home and shaking some pumpkin pie spice into it.  It does taste like Thanksgiving    This was in the US so I'll have to find pumpkin pie spice or mix my own this autumn.
