I am looking at the items then realized I could see Marmite, Maple Syrup, Jaffa Cakes, and Cadbury chocolate. Where the heck did they find their sources for American food??

Mac and cheese is there. Peanut butter. Dr Pepper. Reese’s candy. This is good compared to the French snacks section at my grocery store. I wish we had imported French goodies tbh.

This is just about what the Swedish stores' "American" sections look like. Complete with the English cookies and Irn-Bru. The only thing I can't find here is Jacklinks.

It's a scary version of American food... although the peanut butter is legit necessary.

All of which is British except for some Reese's candy and their horrible Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch knock-off.

Most of this is British or Canadian. They’ve got peanut butter and hot sauce, but I don’t see any American/burger sauce which is usually a staple of these American shelves in France.

Curious to see how much food companies like frito lay have taken over french grocery stores

I thought HP sauce was British? Even our Cadbury stuff gets sold over in the international section, with the Ritter and Jammie dodgers.

This is way off. They only got a few tings, including all the peanut butter and peanut butter flavored shit we eat. But we don't really consider those "American food" here. A lot of this isn't even close.

Every time I see an “American” aisle post and immediately see those Reese’s puffs I say to myself, I haven’t had those in 20 years. And as good as I think they were, I still wouldn’t buy them today. Are they even peanut butter?

I've only seen much less eaten about 5 of those items. I am starting to think this is a marketing ploy to move underperforming products.

Reese’s Puffs cereal seems to be in these aisles a lot.

No ketchup? No ketchup in the American aisle is like no sun in the day. Begone from my presence, you Philistines!

This is actually closer than most American food sections elsewhere

This all feels like an elaborate dig at the English tbh

When I studied in Ireland during college my mom shipped over a ton of Kraft Macaroni n cheese… Irish roomies couldn’t get enough of it!

It’s like they don’t care at all 🥲 Where’s the chef boyardi?

Looks like the British aisle to me with peanut butter, maple syrup, and reese’s thrown in for good measure

These are always funny to me because I eat exactly 0% of the things in similar photos.

WHY DOES EVERY "AMERICAN ISLE" HAVE REESE'S PUFFS?!?

jonisjalopy t1_j6oifeu wrote

American here. Why is there always Reese's cereal in these photos? Are they really that good?

The French aisle in an American grocery store is the produce section, the dairy section, the cheese section, the butcher and the fish sections.

I think it’s hilarious that a lot of these foods are in the international aisle here in America.

Mostly crap…PB & Tabasco yes. French have an equivalent to it or any other hot sauce?

I have never seen more than half of this stuff… and I live in the USA. 😂😂

it isn't American if it doesn't have Sweet Baby Ray's. This is why we hate the French

I always look at these things and realize the American food must be a meme diet in foreign countries. I literally never buy/eat these products or brands

Yeah the cereal is almost $10? When I went to cayman islands prices were similar. Slightly higher. Like 11.50 for a box. But that's an island. Michelinas Alfredo dinner meals, the ones that are were 1 dollar here in America at the time were almost 5 dollars there. For reference.

We have the same "isle" here, but everything is super expensive. All of this stuff goes on 50-60% sale eventually because it's rarely purchased. I mean, the stuff is good, but it's just too expensive for most folks. I usually buy Reeses stuff.
