Potential (and Shelf Life)
Over there [in America] you think of nothing but becoming President of the United States some day. Potentially every man is Presidential timber.

The American section in a German grocery store. Any readers with similar photos to share? I’d love to see if Pop-Tarts are universally exported. (Hat tip: Clayton Lovett)
The Nice Thing About Strangers 
Who would have thought that of pop tarts, if I were in Germany that would be the last thing I ate for breakfast! 🙂 We have a store that offers German imports and that is where you will find me. Anyway it will be interesting to see other countries that sell pop tarts. I wonder if they are popular.
They aren’t even selling Cinnamon-Brown Sugar! 🙂 I agree. I would much rather see an aisle of cereal, but I also love the presence of Baking Soda. It’s fun to see what must sell elsewhere (and for quite a mark up!)
I noticed that too – it is interesting!
Is that what the store has because they think Americans like it and it sits there or because they do, and it sells?
Or maybe this is how the Germans get exotic? I can’t imagine anyone really craving “cheese sauce,” but you never know, right? 😀
Interesting that they have an “American section”. We get some imports here but they’re stocked by genre alongside the Japanese brands.
Alas, no Pop Tarts here.
Meh. If you want some, I could send them in an envelope. 🙂 I think that’s one processed food item that I can live without.
I saw Pop Tarts in Muscat, Oman.
Such a bizarre export! Of all the things in the store, this would not be one I’d expect to find readily available. Perhaps I have underestmiated the sway of Kellogg’s!
