Being English and shopping in Spain

As many of you may know I live in Spain and I am British. That means that when I go shopping, I stumble across things that seem "rather amusing"

I found Otis Spunkmeyer Muffins/Cookies quite amusing in America. Pretty nice though. :P

There were a few other food brands, but I can't remember them right now.

I've gone to Canada, and they sell milk in a bag. In. A. Bag. Not even a carton, or a jug, but a plastic bag.

There's a toothpaste that is/was called Kukident in Germany, where Kuk translates into dick in Swedish... the implied contents: white paste? :P

Re: Being English and shopping in Spain

Bimbo exists in America too. I didn't used to, at least not before a mass of immigration from Mexico where the brand is popular.

It's still as amusing to this Yank as it to you, Cheeseman...

(one of the bright sides of mass immigration from Mexico? we get Mexican Coke products available to us, which uses real sugar instead of HFCS. Suddenly I'm in the 80's again)

I have lived in Canada my whole life and never once seen milk in a bag other then for places like McDonald's where there is a nipple at the bottom of the bag for it to pour out of...

Re: Being English and shopping in Spain

I remember when I went to the States I saw milk in a bag. This is the west coast.

And yes, I did go in supermarkets. I just had to experience Walmart :P
