For unknown reasons, US snack products are a thing in Denmark (maybe just Copenhagen), and because of import taxes on things like sugar, they sell for ridiculous prices.
1 regular bag of Cheetos: $8,50
1 regular bag of Funyuns: $6,50
1 small bag of Takis: $5,00
1 can of US soda: $3,50And yes, people buy them for some reason.
I very, very occasionally buy the soda flavors we don't get here, I admit. Cream soda, Vanilla Coke and Fanta variants like grape are favorites.

- Are you seriously telling us that you're paying three and half dollars for a can containing dirty water with sugar?OBBTKN
- Haha, yes. Very occasionally :)
A can of Danish soda costs around 2,25
We're in the top 10 most expensive countries.jagara - it's 0.20 euros in Turkey. Should we start cheetos smuggling business into Denmark?Beeswax
- He means US Imports - the same has become popular here in London with cornershops selling poorer-quality US shit at vastly higher rates.Nairn
- The only reason I've paid attention to this is I keep an eye out for sodas that don't have fucking artificial sweeteners, BUT US stuff is HFCS-laden shite.Nairn
- @Beeswax the candy/soda smuggling was an actual thing like 10 years ago. There was a huge crackdown. It is no more. You're too late ;Djagara
- isn't US soda allowed to use corn syrup instead of regular sugar. which is like really really bad?uan
- @jagara "candy/soda smuggling was an actual thing" We are definitely doing this. Escobar way.Beeswax
- @uan yup. It's garbage. I consume garbage. Occasionally.jagara
