Reese's pieces... oreos... turkey jerkey, butter fingers, twizzlers, tortilla chips and salsa, bisquick, donuts, huge steaks, and soft shell crabs... that's what happens to our grocery cart when we show up in the US after a year long absence!
You know what else sprung at me? The lawn campaign signs, the flags everywhere, the large size ribbon bumper stickers (to support the troops, support ovarian cancer, but mostly to proclaim that the driver's son (sometimes daughter) is somewhere far away risking his (her) life), the police sirens, the lazy and incompetent drivers and the bigger people - yup.
But I am also eternally grateful for the multi ethnicity of the population, lest little A was going to be growing up thinking everyone in the whole world was white with only different shades of tanning.

You guys are hilarious! I wouldn't have suspected American chocolate candy bars to be your weaknesses. Aha! Now I know.
We've also found that the toys that catch Wee's eyes in the store are the only ones she plays with once we bring them home. Most other toys, that we "think" might be interesting for her" aren't.
