Ich besuche meine Familie nächste Woche, und ich will kleine Geschenke mitbringen.

I know American chocolate is inferior, but I assume it's still a novelty. Some kind of candies probably, too. What else? Many years ago they loved to get boxed breakfast cereal and paper napkins, which seems quaint now.

It's been years since I've seen them, and I'm sure everyone there can buy whatever they want on the Internet, but it will still be fun to bring something.

Any suggestions for an Ausländer?

Needs to be the Penny house brand, that's the only one with a decent level of spiciness. One of the rare few cases where someone knocked off a discount product.

I went to Penny just now and picked up a bag (the Bravo ones with the Penny logo on the back), but they must've changed the recipe. It's not really hot, tastes like the Rewe ones :/

Edit: I just checked, the Rewe Feuerdrachen and the Penny ones are the same, same ingredients, same manufacturer
