    I’m imagining peanut butter, BBQ sauce, pumpkin pie filling, and maybe a few breakfast foods like cream of wheat. Not all of our foods are terrible nightmares, they’re just either available in different aisles or not super popular to justify being everywhere.

    The intersection of “American”, “novelty” and “popular enough to import but not enough to fully stock” is probably mostly candy, pop tarts and Lucky charms.

    The last time trump was around and pulled this type of shit peanut butter was one of the things people had issues with, since the US produces a lot of peanuts and peanut butter.
