Visiting your beautiful country this weekend. Want to bring joy to a random Irish citizen. (self.ireland)

curiousbydesign が 投稿

I was going to pick up a small item or two in the U.S. before heading out. And leave, no name, for an Irish citizen. What would be something, not expensive, that I could put in my luggage and leave for a stranger that would delight them? Snickers bars? Candy? What?

I once saw a snickers bar back in the late 80s when I was walking in the Phoenix Park. Come to think of it, it was probably close to the American ambassadors residence which would make sense. Anyway long story short I went to pick it up but some cruel bastard had taken a shit and covered it in the snickers wrapper. Don't do this OP. Smelly fingers for a week I had.

[–]Tadhg 14ポイント15ポイント  (6子コメント)

As everyone on /r/ireland knows, Snickers was not called Snickers in the 1980s. It changed in 1990.

July 19th was the exact date.

This thread might just be an original way of commemorating that date, actually...

I hope you're just ignorant, OP, not some asshole trying to be funny.

Anyway, related story time for everyone else:

When I was a kid, my friend went on holiday to the States. When he came back he told me about this drink there called "Mountain Dew." It turned out it was introduced to Ireland a few years before that, but never took off so they removed it from the market. Anyway, my friend is crazy for it, and the way he goes on really makes me want to try it too.

A few months later, I'm in a shop in Dublin that stocks all sorts of foreign and speciality foods and drinks. Including, as it turns out, Mountain Dew.

So I buy a can and damn, it tastes amazing. Unfortunately, because it was especially imported, it also cost three quid a can, so its far too expensive for a kid like me (or anyone except homesick Yanks, I think). So I only buy it every so often when I'm especially flush with saved up pocket money.

Fast forward a few years. An American friend of my dad's is coming to Ireland to visit. This guy has never been in Ireland before, and (like OP) clearly thinks we live in the 1930's. He asks my dad if there's anything he'd like him to bring over, and I mention how much I love Mountain Dew. The guy says no problem, and promises he'll bring over a few big bottles. I spend the next two weeks looking forward to getting this amazing drink.

So the day finally comes, and my dad's friend arrives in Ireland. After a few days, he comes to visit our house. I can't fucking wait. All that Mountain Dew -- like forty quids' worth in Dublin. But it was not to be. When he arrives, the guy says the store he went into before he left didn't have any Mountain Dew in stock. But it was okay, he says, because he got me something else that's just as good.

And the fucker hands me a bottle of Coca Cola.

  • Edit: Thanks to a typo in the first line, it looked like I was calling OP both ignorant and an asshole. That should have been an "or" rather than an "and"!

  • OP, I think you're likely just ignorant of how widespread American food/culture is. I hope you enjoy our country and don't interpreted this thread as mean spirited. I don't think anybody intends it that way.

[–]endergrrl 10ポイント11ポイント  (0子コメント)

US American here. (Please forgive me, I was born this way.) I have lived overseas and traveled abroad extensively (for an American.) A couple of things you might not understand about US Americans:

Because we are so isolated, only a small percentage of us travel abroad. Only about 1/3 of us actually have valid passports. So, yes, you are correct. Most are ignorant of what's available abroad.

Also, foreign foods or grocery items, even in well-off areas, tend to be very limited. In my grocery (a large, well-stocked regional chain with a lot of selection; family from elsewhere refer to it as "fancy" or quite upscale) we have an aisle of "foreign" foods. There is ONE type of English biscuit. There are two types of German biscuit. There are many local Asian markets, Halal markets, but never a "European" or "English" or "Irish" market, I assume because our influx of those peoples was long enough ago that their cultures have assimilated.

Because we don't, as a people, travel and because we, as a people, have limited access to anything from your current culture, many people (like OP) would LOVE an Irish tourist to the US to bring a "novelty" Irish item as a gift. And so assumes the same of you.

You are right, of course, that this is ignorance. But it may not be "the Irish still live in 1912" ignorance. It may be more likely that OP doesn't realize how prevalent US products are abroad and/or that the Irish are much more likely to be unimpressed with the novelty of such items for that reason.

I've not yet visited Ireland. When I do, I'll leave the Snickers at home and pretend to be Canadian.

[–]DGolden [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Ah they don't really though, apart from some big famous names. Yes, there is the occasional import specialist shop (like candy lab), and Tesco's "foods of the foreign ghost-devils" aisle sometimes includes well-known american stuff.

But there really are many american sweets that are pretty impossible to get over here unless someone brings them or they are specially sent over mail-order. Suire, a lot of them are also completely disgusting - some american chocolate literally tastes like vomit, deliberately, wtf, and dubious american food additive standards means some of the other stuff tastes like a chemical plant.

I don't mean the big corporate stuff, though recipes for stuff with the same brand name can be quite different in different countries. More like niche things made by regional producers - if OP isn't completely put off being nice to Irish people by now, they may want to bring something from their particular part of the USA, 'tis a big place.

And then there's the cheap stuff that is their equivalent of what were once "penny sweets" here, think the kind of the stuff you get at Halloween (we're who the yanks got Halloween from after all). We don't have much candy corn. Don't really want it either in that particular case, trust me on this, but there's all sorts of other weird shit. Mostly a novelty rather than actually nice, but potentially interesting for Irish people.

The latin americans also have all sorts of deeply weird sweet but chili-spiced stuff that also makes it into the USA and very seldom Ireland. Again, not necessarily to Irish tastes, but a novelty.

Ireland is lovely, and the people are very nice. Probably because they come to /r/ireland to let off their steam.

As an American, I was recently educated on how bad our American chocolate is. You want to be bringing that back from Ireland, not to.

If you want to bring something there, maybe something novel and local from whatever area you're in, that you might give to someone you connect with - not anonymously.

It was a nice idea OP, but one of those things that works better in theory than practice. Us Irish are a sarcastic bunch, but we're nice enough really. Have a good trip and don't worry about the random gift, unless you want to get /u/ChiggyVonRichtofen some mountain dew.
