OH MY Global Market!!
4/09/2008 10:26:00 AM Yesterday Sam called me all freaked out to tell me that she had found a store that carried Pims. Which are a delicious snack from the U.K. But I wasn't that excited because I'd seen them in the U.S. a few times (Target started carrying 2 varieties I believe). THEN she told me they had Aero bars. My lid was flipped. The closest I'd been to Aero bars in the States wasn't even in the States, we were technically just across the border into Canada. So I was thrilled. After work I made her take me to this magical wonderland, where not only did I stumble upon some of my other favorite foods (and by foods I mean candies) like Double Deckers and Time-Outs, I began filling a basket full of goodies to mail to my friends Abby and Noel.....and then I saw it. LILT!!! Lilt is a sugary beverage---some would compare it to the Sprite/7UP/Squirt sodas we have here, but I would strongly disagree with those people. It's totally different. Plus it has Pinapple in it, not just grapefruit flavoring. So it really does taste different. Anyways. I about crapped my pants. The only thing that store was missing that would have made my life complete is if they had Archers Aqua in the foreign booze isle. Or even just a regular bottle of Archers Schnapps (which I've been trying to bribe Maggie in Poland and Kara in Germany to bring me). Alas, they did not. *sigh* I can't complain though. Now that I'm stuck here in St. Louis, at least I found a store where I can go to for some comfort purchases, instead of relying on my friends abroad to send me the random Aero bar to make my month (not that I'm complaining about that either, if you're abroad and you see one and think of me, by all means feel free to mail it ;) |
