£2 for a small pot or £8 for a box

Superb cereal, incredibly overpriced for something you can pick up for pennies in the states.

loved these as a kid. but £8 for a wee box is a disgrace.

plus they probably won't be as good as i remember. like mountain dew was when i had it in berlin.

I have seen that film... Just don't remember them

You can get them here for less than a fiver, but that's still overpriced.

Much prefer my breakfest of a couple of cigs and black coffee in the morning.

Is there any reason why lucky charms arn't in supermarkets now and only in selfridges?

Krispy kreme are worse, may be tasty but how fooking much for donuts!

I was thinking of starting a thread inspired by foods which you don't get in the UK. My current favourite thing are peanut crisps, but specifically the ones that have chocolate in them. I'm not describing them very well, but they look like wotsits, but have chocolate in the inside and a peanut crisp type coating on the outside. Utter taste sensation. Unfortunately the only place I've ever found them is in Israel and have only been there twice, so resort to asking my Israeli friends to bring them back over here with them. They think it's hillarious because they are really meant for kids.

One absolutely revolting thing i need to buy here is Velvita cheese, which is basically that yellow plastic type cheese but in massive blocks.

Its what the Texan's use to make Chilli con Queso which is sooo yummy, but so bad for you.

These were so popular when I was a kid. I lived in Ireland for a few years and remember these were the bollocks.

At that price though...crikey, no wonder it was weetabix for about 50 weeks of the year

that was Charms, not Lucky Charms.

easy mistake to make though as neither are common household names over here.

I walked past a shop in Cardiff that sold loads of American sweets and cereals and stuff. £1.60 for a tiny box of Nerds, £7 for a box of Lucky Charms, £5 for a box of Pop Tarts. Absolutely ridiculous.

I suppose it's got something to do with the import charges etc though...

Partly, but its also because they can. There's a few shops here that specialise in British favourites for all the ex-pats who are out here. can charge what you want for a box of Tetley tea bags or a can of Irn-Bru
