What common American items are unavailable in Greece?

Question

I am in a craft swap with a girl from Greece, and the idea is she sends me items from there and I send her items from America. I've heard from a friend that they don't have Snickers candy bars, and she says that they don't have peanut butter. Aside from these two items, is there anything that people who have been to Greece can suggest sending? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Of course we have all this stuff... and I really don't think that there is a country in the world that doesn't.....

Maybe you can send a CD with music she likes that has just been released and it's not that huge...some albums don't come very quickly... otherwise send something that only comes from your hometown...

Answer 2

When My cousins visit they always stock up on Hershey's kisses

Answer 3

Reese's peanut butter cups! An American colleague of mine always brings these back to the office in Greece & they disappear in seconds! And how about sending a book of photographs from where you're from?

Answer 4

Basically you can get everything - especially if you are in Athens or major cities - the items you mention are available and chocolate chip cookies are very well known!

Food wise I don't think there's anything that you can't find if you look long enough.

Answer 5

We have both Snickers candy and many many types of peanut butter. Unless she lives in a small village where they don't get these. But you can't send them either, it is illegal by european law to import food like that. They will probably keep them at customs (and eat them, lol). There are also marshmallows in the supermarkets and candy shops.

Answer 6

we have snickers,mars,twix and all thic kind of chocolates.

Toblerone,m&m,dairy milk etc.

Of course we have peanut butter also ,in every super market you ll find it but is not as popular as in US.

There are lots of american items here,what exactly you are looking for?

Answer 7

I haven't found anywhere in Greece marshmallows, and some other candy Americans eat that looks like a red sponge...

Answer 8

"you are pretty" is not available over there and not needed either.

Answer 9

This may sound cold, but, "some" girls in Europe and Asia are told to meet and marry an American guy because Mom and Dad want to come to the USA and set-up  a business using their daughter as a "shoe-in."  

Sad but true.  So, maybe your friend could use a few name and address of good looking guys she can work on via the Mail.  

Hey... what-ever works.

Answer 10

what about a small box of chocolate chip cookies?  they're not too familiar w/them.  or a small box of oreos?? oreos are actually banned in many places in europe but not Greece since they have hydrogenated trans fat.
