I love living in France as an American and as an expat. I love French products, French culture. French lifestyle, French habits, French mentality, I love a lot of things about France. But sometimes, just sometimes, I really really need an American product that i can't find in France, or i can find,but it's CRAZY expensive.
After I came back from the US and lugged my suitcase full of American products to Paris, i felt like it was the perrrrrfect opportunity to show you my haul and the American things I just can't live without. Hopefully I'll be convincing enough that these will become the American products you want to bring to France :)
👉 Let me know what products you can't live without when you are abroad or what products you think you wouldn't be able to live without if you moved!

Great video, consider doing the inverse of this video. What would you bring back from France if you lived in the US?
Yes great idea! On my list :)
Burt’s Bees chapstick! That last time I was home, I walked out of Target with 4 boxes. And chili powder. I have been to every Indian, Asian, and Latin American grocery store in Vienna and the “chili powder” is really cayenne pepper. Was not a fun mistake to make.
I did the same with paprika which was supposed to be mild but for my french family they found it spicy
I literally bought 6 when I came back to us just in case 😂😂😂
I'm French but I like peanut butter too, and I agree it's relatively expensive. My favorite is the "natural" kind which only contains peanuts. It's not the easiest to find, even in stores that sell organic food.
Totally, peanut butter was nowhere 10 years ago when I first got to France, but now it's EVERYWHERE. The natural one is really good (it's what i've given my daughter) and easy to find in the organic stores.
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I am French and there is a product "Dakatine" (peanut butter) which was made by French people in 1960 ... my brother loved it. I have always seen it in department stores or in grocery stores. Frankly this is nothing new.
This Canadian loves the Tide Stick! I carry one in my purse and keep one at home. It works!
Believe it or not, we once took Chickfila packed in dry ice to some friends living in India! LOL
hahahah i believe it and that is really FRIENDSHIP right there. You're a good friend.
My parents in the 60s and 70s would lug back from Italy to NYC 10 kgs bag of Arborio rice because at the time you couldn’t find it easily here or it was very expensive.
P.s. have you ever fallen in love with a product abroad and then bought the "same" thing at home, but it's not truly the same? Sometimes ingredients are sourced differently in different manufacturing plants, so even though the ingredient name is the same, the quality is not. Other times they straight up change the ingredients due to local food regulations or local preferences. I loved a certain perfume in Scotland, but the bottles in the U.S. do not smell quite the same. 😪
Yes absolutely! One of the things that surprised me the most was the taste of diet coke in France vs the USA. Everything in the USA is so much more sugary than in France that it surprised me with it's different taste.
For clothing stains Fels naptha soap is a game changer. A bar will last you for years and it's less than $5. Have your mom send you a bar in your next care package or in that suitcase the next time you come to the US.
thank you!!
I will second this! Fels Naptha has taken stains out of my clothes I was sure would never come out. It is magic.
Canadian living in French speaking region of Switzerland: I too fill up a huge suitcase when I go back home. First stop Costco for huge jars/bottles/packages of Hellman’s Mayonnaise, Skippy Peanut Butter, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Tylenol, Advil, allergy medication, Bisquick, Vanilla extract, baking powder, cashews, tide stick to Go, I even bring back Strawberry Bonne Maman jam because the jar is so enormous compared to the Swiss jars, top sheets for the bed because they don’t have them in Switzerland. We stock up on clothing because clothes are double/triple the price en Suisse.
Loved the video. Anytime a family member lived abroad we hauled almost the same things as you do and much more. It saves money, gives convenience, and for certain food items helps us prepare some home specialties that we miss so much. Our daughter’s French family friends always get Levi’s jeans.
Hello Kate,
Happy to find you again.
Most food supplements aren't so popular in France like they can be in USA. Cause in fact, their effectiveness is most often questioned. Especially since in France, our eating habits are on the whole quite healthy and we eat a very varied food. If we vary the foods well, normally, food supplements are unnecessary.
Most centenarians in France have never consumed a dietary supplement in their life.
I take this comment to give you the title of a color video on Paris in the 60s promoted by an American: "Paris La Vie Parisienne (1965)" (in English) on "British Pathé
" YT channel.
In fact, what's funny is that we realize we could do almost the same video today.
The French lifestyle habits are really anchored in us. 😀
4:50 to start the actual video
So glad to have your videos back! Hope your trip home was great!
Thank you! I loved it :)
My haul from a month ago: big bottle of ibuprofen, cream of tartar, baking powder in scoop-able can, instant pudding powder, red pepper flakes, and shredded coconut (instead of coconut "snow" that they have here in France). Pretty much all food ! ;) Didn't pay for checked luggage, so they come with me in my carry-on and I always have to get extra screening in security because all that white powder definitely looks like drugs. Worth it!
hahahah great haul! Also, i feel you on things that looks like drugs. I always get stopped for baby formula now in the carry on so I bet the shredded coconut is a sure stop for you :)
I love your videos, Kate! You always hit the nail on the head. You gave me some ideas about items to bring back.
Yes to the Icy Hot!!!! I couldn't believe my partner had never heard of it. And I also love the Oxyclean stick! That's all I ever use.
Some random things that I can't seem to find in France that I brought with me recently: chili powder and antibiotic ointment. But one thing I brought back with me to the U.S. this time was the black dye you can use in the washing machine to bring back your faded blacks. So cool!
P.S. Marks & Spencer has some really good gummies, but expensive.
Yes the Icy Hot and the Neosporin or Pollysporen. They are a fortune in France, and dirt cheap from Costco. I know there's a Costco outside of Paris, but you need to have a car there to get to it
@@marisahokefazi2949 Yes, I heard about that Costco! Alas, I don't have a car in France.
ANOTHER ICY HOT FAN!!! yessssss! the best :)
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified 😂😂
Love it that you started with a big bottle of Ibuprofen! And peanut butter! Those are always in my "incoming suitcase." And in addition to stain removers, hand sanitizing towelettes... which before Covid were impossible to find in France.
As others mentioned, I bring Ziplock bags and aluminum foil as well. And Neosporin, as well as Gas-X.
Also: vibrating toothbrushes, Arm & Hammer toothpaste, and Dry Idea deodorant. The toothbrushes don't seem to exist in France, and I've never found a French toothpaste or deodorant that I like.
On the other hand, there's an inexpensive shampoo in France (by Dessange; I buy it at Monoprix) that is perfect for my hair, and bottles of that *always* come back to the U.S. with me.
There are toothbrushes and toothpaste in all supermarkets as well as in pharmacies and drugstores. I'm surprised you didn't find one. For my part, Fluocaril toothpaste is my favorite.
@@mlomarechal6877 I have lived in France for over 20 years, and have certainly noticed the toothbrushes, etc. for sale in the pharmacies. Have not seen *vibrating* toothbrushes, however (the kind without replaceable batteries), and no toothpaste -- no other American toothpaste, either -- can compete with Arm & Hammer !
A chacun son goût.
Great topic and fun informative video (as always). My trek items are - from the USA: Neosporin (honestly why can't other countries do an antibiotic cream?!), Benadryl anti-itch cream. From the UK: Palmer's cocoa butter body moisturiser with sun screen (seriously why is it so hard to find a body moisturiser with SPF?!) and Marks & Spencer's underwear.
Very fun video to watch! Thanks for sharing.
The other way around does your family ask for anything special from France? Great video thank you
Put dish detergent on the stain and leave it until you’re ready to run the load.
Yes levis, and converse are so important. also lingerie and Bras. they have an amazing store in NYC thats been around for years and years. They will measure you and get the "right size" that fits like a dream. I go every year I return to NYC and so worth it and they are beautiful and not as expensive if purchase in Paris.
Lingerie is realllllly expensive in France so good point on getting the bras back home!
Love listening to your thing that I listen to from time to time but this one was so right on, especially about the aspirin I mean ibuprofen. One thing that I still bring back is a large stack of really good corn tortillas because they're a fortune in France - for like 6 of them in the grocery. I could get like 50 of them for less than 2 bucks in California, and they last I separate them into smaller baggies and put them in the freezer. Which brings me to Ziploc bags,rolls of plastic wrap and tin foil. I bring those because the quality of what I buy in France is crap, And they're a total waste of packaging because they have normal packages with very little product inside so you go through them too quickly and you end up throwing away half the plastic wrap anyway because of the incredibly low quality of brands sold in France which constantly rip..
yes! corn tortillas are a must, i finally perfected my flour tortillas here so i dont need those but corn i bring back at least 10 dozen- they freeze well. also certain types of spices that are just different here in paris, like chilipower and other dried chilis. Also organic baking powder dbl acting. though i can find them here in paris the organic brands i like are so expensive here.
such a good point here! my friend from california bought a literal tortilla machine here to make her own she was so frustrated!
I am am Canadian but my wife in French. I do the opposite: I bring back Doliprane (especially the 500 mg available OTC), and also Doli-Rhume, which works wonders against colds & flue.
I also bring back Tylenol and Advil because it's so much cheaper. Batteries are also less expensive in the States so I stock up there. In my Brussels suburb there is a British store where I can thankfully get a lot of 'American' products. It's the only place I can get decent breakfast cereal and they have goldfish, fresh non UHT milk, good sharp cheddar, etc. Another bonus is they sell English greeting cards so I don't have to send my poor parents cards in French or Dutch. That place is a lifesaver in a pinch.
That store sounds like heaven! They opened a "Normal" store like 10 minutes from my house in Paris and it has a ridiculous amount of american candy for really cheap prices. It's my new place to go when i need a pick me up :)
I thought I had ruined a sewing project by using a red biro pen to make my pattern markings (on the outside) instead of the intended red frixion pen that irons out. I tried everything to remove it, making it worse, then discovered that ordinary dishwashing liquid (my country’s equivalent of Dawn) removed it completely. Who would have thought!?
Thank you! I’m moving to Paris in a month, so this is super helpful.
Great! Glad it was helpful and enjoy the move!
I buy my bras in the States. Have a very large bust size, and there are just more options in the States. I know some countries like Poland or whatnot have lots and lots of bra shops for larger bust sizes, because genetics can be a factor for bust size and maybe there's just a higher population for it. But I live in France, and don't have the time to haul my butt to like Poland or some place, lol. Also, while I do like nice looking bras, I hate that most of the options for bras in France are only the sexy lacy ones. I like plain t-shirt bras for the most part, and the only ones like that on my size here are usually old grandma looking ones. Sure, there maybe online options, but I always have to try a bra on, bra size even within a country are not universal, and large busts are shaped differently between each person, I really have to try on in person. One time I went to a shop here in France that was supposed to carry my size, when I tried on said size, the bra was shaped really oddly like the designers assumed that breasts only grow out and not all the way around and on the sides and the wires were cut like half way into my breast, it was really weird, and my MIL was like this was supposed to be a higher end store, lol, it was a really weird experience. So yeah, I go home to the States about every 2 years or so, which is about how long bras tend to last with regular use, and I bring back like 4 or 5, hopefully the store is having a sale because bras fir large busts tend to be pretty expensive. Also underwear. I can never find the shape and material that I like in my size in France, so I usually buy some in the States too
I buy my bras back home too! I find lingerie really really expensive here so i always grab a bra or two when i'm back home. It sounds like a good idea to buy them back home if it's the right style and fit for you and you haven't found anything here. Always frustrating to keep looking and not find that right thing!
I totally agree with this. When I lived in France it was hard to find the right size let alone expensive. This was my first thought! Lol
I remember the second time we went to France on holiday. We were staying in a big caravan and took vacuum packed bacon and square sliced sausage and a block of cheddar lol. That's a huge bottle of ibuprofen. I think biggest pack is 64 in UK. You can't buy any more than 3 packs of pain killers in the one shop here. I always have ibuprofen and paracetamol in the house.
A essayer en France : le gel détachant avant lavage de la marque Arbre Vert. Il est vraiment très efficace, sans soucis pour les textiles, et aucune réaction allergique (3enfants).
{Dans certains cas rares, j’utilise aussi en même temps la poudre oxyaction de Vanish : j’incriste la poudre dans le gel et ’hop’ dans la machine.}
Merci pour le tip.
In your next video, could you show the French products that you always bring with you when you go back in the US for any reason (vacations, family visitin', or else) ?
As an expat who has been living in Korea for 6 years, I also buy a large container of ibuprofen when go back to the US to visit my family. Korean has excellent health care, but similar to France, all the medicine comes in tiny boxes with only a few pills and it's annoying.
I also stock up on tampons, as they are really hard to find here and expensive.
Lastly, I stock up on CLOTHES! A must! I'm 179cm so buying clothes and shoes in Korea that fit my height is damn near impossible ㅜㅜ even in America it was not always easy to find shoes
Giving up Costco would be a big sacrifice for me. To me they are the pinnacle of quality, value and customer service as far as big box stores go.
I’m an American expat in SW France and I have a gîte. So…I have a lot of stains! I have found success with Vanish OxiAction powder and K2r détachant cream. I think the cream is like the stain stick you bring back from the US. I had a gîte guest ask me for stain remover and I gave her the K2r and she bought some before returning to England! I buy both in my local hypermarché.
Thank you so much! I'll check them out. The stains on Eleonore's clothes are insane. It's like she purposely tries to go crazy. Also very cool having a gite!
Stains: original blue Dawn dishwashing liquid gets most things out, if you put it on right away, rub with some water and then rinse from back to front. It's a life saver.
THANK YOU for this. I'll totally try it out.
Hi. A quite big American supermarket has opened doors in Troyes St Parres (1h30 away from Paris). You can find there almost every product you miss at a very fair price. It's called Money Pig and it's a subsidiary of our local E. Leclerc.
Thanks for sharing 🥰
I see the spice, that is famous, even though I have not tried it myself. I have never lived outside of Norway, but if I was, I also have a favorite spice, that would probably come with me, and that is a “Scandinavian forest” mushroom spice blend form the brand Santa Maria, that I know they sell in some other countries too. It has a grinder and everything 🥰 It says it is perfect for “game and red meat”, and I don’t eat meat, and not that much gaming either, but it is epic on veggies like average and mushrooms 😋
I also know that the spices are way cheaper here in Norway, then in the USA, so if I was going there, maybe bring some other staples too of spices 🤔
I would also bring some kilos of mixed bulk candy. In every store here in Norway you can mix your own bag of candy. It is huge thing in Sweden too, and at least some in Denmark. Even the tiniest stores have a “bulk” section for mixed candy, but you have to know where they have the best selection, that also is fresh 😋
There are probably more, but that was my first thoughts.
Love from Johanne, Norway
You can get the regular size skippy peanut butter in most grocery stores in France for around 4€
of course! I used to bring back way more but you slowly wittle down the things you really really miss! Enjoy the move!!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I miss the amount of choice. Or how easy it is to get things almost in one place. That being said, when I was back in Toronto Canada this past Jan I did find it a bit overwhelming in regards to how much choice there was. It just shows how there is both good and not so good aspects of living everywhere.
Love your videos
Have you ever done one on the difficulties of communication between the French and the North American person and how it effects the relationship…. It would be interesting.
The good, bad and the ugly.
Topical acne medication, cotton balls, vitamin supplements, water flavoring, the tide to go pen is magic btw and EBtB seasoning too!
water flavoring! i used to bring this back too but i've found some different brands that are similar enough that i'm ok. But that's a good one and it doesn't take up too much space!
Funny 😄 with the snacking… my in Germany raised child eats some snacks. But my French mother-in-law was kind of shocked how often he is eating/snacking between the meals!
Ohhh man, i feel you on this one. My mother in law is really strict about snacking. 3 meals, 1 snack. No grazing. So different from Americans!
Stain removers look pretty handy.
I wish we had some in France!
They are ridiculously handy. Someone should start a new business!
Is there a real difference with this and the European "détachants" like K2R ?
Junk food: Hawkins Cheesies, Kraft Dinner, Coffee Crisp chocolate bars, maple syrup, Red River cereal, President's Choice gourmet products, and peanut butter. Physician's Formula beauty products, melatonin, and tylenol. I also buy my Roots shoes/boots/sandals & sweats.
Canadian?
Dawn dish soap, blue
Oh, you ve told so much about yourself in this video!! I see Americans love peanut butter... and you ve made a discovery for me when you mentioned that stain-removing pen. Because I have not seen anything similar in my life. Seems a very handy invention though!❤❤
Stain tip! Dishsoap is great for getting grease stains out. Here in the US I use Dawn [maybe one more thing you need to lug back with you], and just a drop rubbed on a grease stain on a TShirt, et voila! Stain gone!
yes but i will mix equal parts of dawn (blue) with peroxide and baking soda and it is truely magic. check out the receipe online, it is a true savior.
haha i wonder if i get dawn here actually?
Thank you!!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified In Europe, Dawn is Fairy Liquid. Same company, although I don't know if the ingredients are exactly the same. Totally agree about Dawn- just rub in a little Dawn and water, then rinse. It's a wonder! (My other comment about Dawn got deleted for some reason).
@@e.machocolat775 thank you I will definitely try this!
I love your videos, and this one is super relatable as an American in Paris! Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, but I want to help a fellow peanut-butter-lover if I can! I buy mine at SE Asian / international grocery stores. It’s not quite as cheap as in the US, but they have big tubs of PB for much cheaper than I’ve been able to find in the French grocery stores. :-)
Try TRUE EARTH laundry sheets. Great product and space saver and ecologically much better...no plastic!! You can purchase online.
perfect thanks!
Very fun video. Thanks! The question is, how many of each item do you bring back?😉😁
Hahah thats a good question. Sometimes way too many if you asked Robin, but i'd say just enough to make it to the next trip!!
Levi’s can be found around 50€ on vente privée websites but the quality is so poor. Holes appear in no time.
So better but it in the US.
SUPER COOL
Be careful with regular use of ibuprofen. I know someone who ended up on dialysis from that. I took it monthly for years with no problem, but if you are taking it daily, that's something to discuss with your doctor.
Thanks for the warning! I'm not taking it on a daily basis. Just when I get migraines!
Fab video.
Just came back to UK from Canada, and could not travel back without Advil, Polysporin, or Flamin’ Hot Cheetos
Try detach express as a stain remover
10:17 cheddar Goldfish are 2nd to parmesan, IMHO. Hmmm, now I want some...
agree!!! If you haven't tried white cheddar cheetos I highly recommend!
never even heard of them!
Hi ! You can find Goldfish in the new shopping mall in Gare Montparnasse (a shop called Funso).
As a kickass French stain remover is "Savon détachant textile au fiel de bœuf" yep soap made with beef bile I know not for the vegetarians among us. Now your taste in peanut butter is atrocious 😀 Skippy is way too sugary but it is cheap.
I love your videos so much, they're super helpful! I'm wanting to move to Paris in the future. I'm really confused about the size of Paris. Can you please make a video on Paris arrondissements and suburbs. Are the suburbs Paris? What is the actual size of Paris and limit (Is it 105.4km² or14,518 km² (Paris Metropolitan Area) Is the population 2.2 million or 12.6 million. I mean what is the real Paris, Paris or the metropolitan area.
Lived in the UK for 3 years and yes Skippy Chunky Peanut butter. I tried local peanut butter once - ugh!
chunky is my favvvvvvv
the nut butter situation is crazy. by me, almond butter goes for 20-25$. this and maple syrup, haha. so these are things i bring back. :)
I did not realize almond butter was so expensive here!
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I know this is all about france, but "by me" is scandanavia. haha, sorry...but! in these regards, our sentiments are similar and paris is not too different here...haha
to be fair...the price i mention is like, from a bio store. i looked at franprix and see its around 6euro. butttt a small jar all the same :)
great video! where is your blazer from?
Mango! It's this season so you can still grab it and i would go down one size from what you normally take because it's a larger fit!
Great video. Can ’t you bring back a pinball ? Difficult to find in our country.
In the uk you are not allowed to buy so many ibuprofen in one shop.
Australia is same, 30 max in pack I think & you can't buy multiples, even supermarket self checkouts disallow.....both paracetamol and ibuprofen are dangerous at high doses so makes sense
Think its 3 packs, same with paracetamol.
People in the comments are acting like you plan on living on everything you mentioned!😅🤣 This was interesting! Thank you!
ever thought about why there is rampant pain killer addiction in the us and not in europe?!
Where is your blazer from, if you don’t mind my asking? It’s great
I agree. It is great.
It's mango and it's this season so you can definitely still buy it! It's a larger fit so go one size down and i really love it.
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified thank you!
Please be specific about the blazer, thanks because a search doesn't show yours...
@@destinydeems shop.mango.com/fr/femme/vestes-et-blazers-blazer/veste-de-costume-a-carreaux_17076704.html?c=43. It's the green one!
I love the US, they have so many good snakcs :P, though we have similar products in Canada. I'm currently in a country where the snacks offer is limited and in general they are not tasty at all. More easy not to get fat.
I missed m&ms and Oreos!
Has your husband changed his mind about feeding your daughter peanut butter? I remember one video you said he was not going to allow you to feed her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. This was a fun video
Buffalo sauce (if you like bbq, that too)
I love my original Listerine mouthwash. Is it sold in France?
ohh good question. I don't think i've seen that brand?
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified I can't remember seeing mouthwash in the pharmacies either lol
Yes, they sell it in most grocery stores. I get mine at Carrefour or Monoprix, can’t live without it!
I giggle every time you say ECKspecially... There is no X in especially ;)
Do they have ramen?
The great thing about being an American living in Montréal is there is not much I want that I can't find here.
I'm confused why these can't just be ordered online? Does anyone actually shop in stores anymore?
Recently, a customs tax was added in France to any products that come from outside the EU. That sometimes means a 100% markup on your purchase. This includes care packages you get from friends/relatives. When you order online, you have to make sure the product your buying comes from an EU store to avoid the new tax.
I bring to my mom in lsrael Tylenol and ibuprofen huge bottles too. When l visit her l take Oxy 10 Acne medication for myself.
I'm glad to hear i'm not the only one! I really like a specific pimple patch brand from the USA i also bring back!
My gosh! If one day planes could have trailers you would be the happiest expat in France 😉
Haha it would just save my back probably with the suitcases :)
@@UnintentionallyFrenchified LoL, sure it would be healthier! For the peanut butter, or others, have you tried grocery stores in the African area of Paris, like Chateau d'Eau or Chateau Rouge or else in those specialized in exotic (from the Indian Ocean mostly because of the French islands over there) goods? They are more akeen to eat that kind of treats and because of the rarety you often find them in large containers.
You should try Synthol for little problems
rien ne vaut du vrai savon de Marseille sur les taches (il faut frotter un peu mais c’est ce qu’il y a de plus efficace pour moi, en plus c’est plus économique et écologique ce qui ne gâche rien même si ce n’est pas le but principal)

Good on you with your running even though you are now a Mum
Thanks! I always enjoyed running before Eleonore so i've been trying to stick with it for a "me" thing.
I'm shocked about how much ibuprofen you need! I wouldn't take it unless a doctor says so as it can be dangerous. And I've never seen such a huge jar of peanut butter!
Hahaah, my doctor knows i have that bottle of Ibuprofen, i don't take them daily so no worries! And you need to take 2 at a time so think half the bottle to compare to a french sized one.
I need neosporin or polysporin or the generic equivalent. They don't have anything like it here, not even on Amazon. I had sores on my feet from new shoes for a year, which was hell walking everywhere. Excuse me, but I'm not going to go to a doctor, just because I got new shoes! I also desperately need some kind of itch cream. The cheap stuff from Dollar Tree is fine. Or any kind. I have only a tiny bit left, after two summers of mosquitoes. If someone who loves me back in the US wants to make me happy, please send me those two things, in any quantity. It's better than diamonds or rubies! I would have also said peanut butter, but I finally found a place that sells peanuts for an affordable price. So I will make my own peanut butter. Peanuts don't seem to be grown in the EU, so there are huge import taxes on them. And I even found a place with real Mexican food, including Maseca, to make tortillas at home. So I will finally have decent , proper corn tortillas. I have to go a long way to get it, but I don't care. European-made tortillas are totally gross-- made with the wrong kind of corn.
Kouign Amann...impossible de vivre sans.
???? Dolipran is Tylenol !
Used to send my family in Switzerland peanut butter. Also, Fabreze.
Fabreeze is a good one!
Not trying to get you hooked on another US product, but you can get color catchers, I think they're by tide. They're like a drier sheet but you put them in the wash and they absorb dye so no more pink whites.
Yes! I have started using them since my last "accident" as i call it :)
Colours catchers sheets exist in France
*French* candy like “Kinders”??? You mean the chocolate that’s brand name is actually a German word?!? I never knew that was French. 🤔🤣
it is an italian brand of the ferrero group, ( Nutella, Mon chéri, ...)
It is called kinder-Schokolade and yes the brand is Italian
Good point! I've always just thought french and kinder since i had never had them before moving to France but you're right that it's totally not french hahaha
When I move to rural France in 2022, will I need to bring a year's supply of Red Vines with me?
Yes! I have a pack here in my kitchen hahah
Are there French products that you can't live without that you can't get in the U.S.?
THE FRENCH CHEESE is my first one without hesitation!
Un peu curieux de ramener des trucs si mauvais pour la santé et l'ibuprofène n'est pas à prendre à la légère, dangereux même quand on dépasse la dose. 🤔🤔
Bien sur, il faut faire attention! mais je ne dépasse pas le dose, donc zéro souci pour l'ibuprofène. Et pour les trucs si mauvais pour la sante, je pense que dans les petits quantités, ca pose pas de problème.
All that peanut butter... Wow! How do you stay so thin?
I don't eat the whole thing in one sitting hahaha! :)
nothing but junk food, switch to fruits and vegetables
I don't need to bring fruits and veggies back from the USA. Thats usually illegal anyways. I stick to things I can't get in France :)
Am I the only one bother by the fact the camera focus is on the background and not on her face..? It's a bit uncomfortable for the eyes, be careful with the settingd😉
I'm glad we don't have these things in France
*I don't know who needs to hear this but stop saving all your money, invest some of it if you really want financial freedom....*
Ahahah, I am Canadian living in Spain and I eat my PB every day. When I lived in Portugal, it was hardly possible to find it or it was so expensive. Now I can find it everywhere. But not the American brand, of course… And I brand Tide to go as well !! Haha Crazy life saver
