Anyone who's lived in another country knows what it's like to miss products that are only available in your home country.
That's what I'm experiencing now. I'm American, and two years ago I moved to the United Kingdom to live with my British partner full time.
I'd spent plenty of time in England before I moved there, so I was familiar with the country's culture, its landscape, and even its grocery stores. The first few times around, there was nothing from the States I missed too much, especially because I knew I'd soon be going back to my New York City apartment and anything I wanted would soon be readily available again.
However, now that I've lived in England for two years, there are some American products that I get seriously nostalgic for - snacks, toiletries, even medicine you can only get in America. Sure, I could have friends and family still in the US send some over, but it's not quite the same as before.
