What would you miss most?

I've never been to the USA, but Pop Tarts are notoriously expensive here and other than Strawberry or Chocolate quite difficult to find.
I've never been a huge fan of pop tarts. Don't remember the last time I had one.

Boston Creme is the best one I've had. It's sort of nostalgic for me because they used to be everywhere in the 90s and now apart from the two flavours they are nowhere. Same with Snapple in a glass bottle, reminds of when Oasis was in a glass bottle.

Boston Creme must be a rare flavor cause I found these but if I went to a grocery store you can get a 12 pack of any other flavor for under $ 5
I dont miss anything, we have many movies and music from USA. USA gets from Europe the great minds.
I'll say what I miss from another country. My favorite fruit is guinep or spanish limes. Sooooo freaking good! They are around every summer in most tropical places.
Maui pineapple is great too, they taste so different then the ones we get here.
Honorable mention is the Disney Smoked Turkey leg because even though it's accessible to me, my Disney days are OVER. Can't stand that overcrowded place. I haven't been there in about 10 years.

Ok Pop-Tart team! How about toaster strudel?I am like a grown up would DIE without Philly Cheesesteak!!! That’s a loss…I can’t afford!
I can’t even move far from Philly. Nobody does it right!!! Only here…
There is absolutely nothing that's worth likeable about Philly except the Philly cheesesteaks of course. And we even have that here in the Carolinas which is just as good as in Philly I'm sure. Other than their cheesesteaks Philly is a trashy place where lots of drug lords do business in. There ain't no chance in hell I'll ever go there. I've been told if you go to the wrong side of Philly not being black you'll get shot. No ma'am you can have Philly.

Cheesecake Factory is a chain restaurant all over the US and it’s not very good at all 😵💫😵💫😵💫 they should have stuck with just cheesecake, because the food is entirely inedible.

I dont dislike the food but it's like any other chain restaurant and I have probably been there a total of 3 or 4 times over the years. Definitely wouldn't miss it.

It's north and south Carolina tradition. It's here where it all began before expanding. Cheesecake factory in North and South Carolina is the best. It's highly unlikely it's no good anywhere else. And cheesecake taste downright nasty as shit to me. How the hell yall eat that is beyond me.
I would miss the free bathrooms in the US, but then again, I've only been to Europe once and only paid twice. That was a long time ago. And people don't have change there when the change they give you for exchanging money is in large bills. I'm like —.
Food is universal, I would cope well.

What are you talking about. A quick research on the official website says the founder of the restaurant used a recipe that was published in a newspaper while she was in Detroit for the cheesecake, and that the first one originated in Beverly Hills 😬 No mention whatsoever about NC or SC 🧐 where do you come up with this stuff

I don't know. I still do believe it all started here for some reason of insanity. I can't prove that theory. I didn't come down here until around 1992 or so and I don't think there was a cheesecake factory here at that time. At least i never seen none here at that time. Probably was though. So who knows. Maybe the newspaper you red might be right. It's been a tradition here for a long time people here still glorify cheesecake factory like it's heaven.

Only time I've seen it in th UK is in train stations.

I think I experienced it in Italy the most.
Definitely not miss the most, but I’ve noticed there’s a huge difference even in soda and I always thought it was funny when my friend would say she’s on the hunt for African Fanta, but now I know she wasn’t kidding. lol
And don’t get me started on tomatoes.
Europe to US-- I'd miss the beauty
US to Europe--I'd miss the food, the abundance of stuff everywhere
I prefer Europe.

00.
That is so weird. Never heard of anywhere in the United States charging for a bathroom. You got scammed 😂
When I traveled through Europe a lot of the public bathrooms you had to pay for and restaurants would make you buy something to use theirs (which I get since those should be for paying customers)

San Francisco doesn't have public restrooms, they have low income hotel rooms for IV drug users lolAlso I'm not from San Francisco but I barely care enough to say that because at this point I don't expect people outside of California, let alone ~3000 miles away to make any distinction. I was born in San Jose, moved to Modesto when I was young, bounced around different states starting about 10 years ago before ending up back in Modesto at least temporarily
But again it doesn't matter. People from Southern California try to tell me shit like umm ackshually I'm from Orange/Ventura/who cares County, and it's NOT Los Angeles and I'm like shuddup bitch you're from L.A. Idc 😂

Well damn. lolol
I haven't moved, and probably never will. I can tell you if in some strange parallel universe where I moved from the US to Europe, I would miss way too many things. Like being fat and lazy, and that being normal. Another thing would be peace of mind. I know that sounds crazy because 99.9 or people in Europe likely think the US is absolutely crazy, but this place gives me peace of mind. When I see someone like a civilian or store owner open carrying a gun, I actually feel more comfortable and safer for some reason. Unless it's a US cop. That is the only thing I would likely feel more comfortable around in Europe. Most cops over there tend to be pretty passive, so I feel like I would fear them much less then cop from the US. Here in the US when I see a cop, I feel like I'm standing close to an actual gange member, which is annoying and intimidating which I personally hate. So I could possibly see myself leaving here to escape the gang mentality of our police, but then again, if and when all hell breaks lose I'd rather be here in the US then anywhere else.
