If you had the opportunity, in the middle of a 210-day stay in Europe , to swing by home and pick up a few things, what would you take? There are a lot of things you might never realize are exclusively American, and I found myself with an interesting opportunity to grab some of these things and share them with my Italian friends. So here’s what I took home:
- 5 jars of crunchy peanut butter
- A jar of grape jelly
- A jar of raspberry jelly
- Lots of gum
- 2 four-packs of Stewart’s root beer
- A four-pack of Stewart’s cream soda
- Pumpkin walnut bread mix
- Pumpkin scented hand soap in a Halloween-themed dispenser
- A pumpkin-scented candle in a pumpkin-shaped terra cotta jar (sensing a theme, here?)
- Godiva chocolates
- Godiva chocolate-covered dried raspberries
- Reese’s peanut butter cups
- 2 Starbucks travel mugs
- Some American cash
- 2 jars of cranberry sauce (for our Thanksgiving feast!)
- Aloe-filled pink and blue socks (Thanks, Aunt Annie!)
