"I wish we had that over here..."

[PayneTrayne]

I wish we had sexy accents over here. Canada is said to have some of the most neutral accents, even if I travel I can't seduce with just the sultry sound of my voice ever now!

 

[zHellas]

It used to be Coke Cherry. But they came recently here

I was going to say something along the lines of Firearm laws or related things, but I'll be damned if you haven't rekindled my desire for Vanilla Coke. They stopped selling it here in the UK years ago even though I loved it

They still sell it here. So... IN YO FACE! Bam!

OT: I wish we had high technology everywhere. And this is for everywhere.

I wish Japanese styled baths were common in the US. I mean, I guess I could replicate the experience with a shower/tub set up but it's not the same.

 

[Soviet Steve]

I wish energydrinks were sold in daily goods stores here.

On the reverse, I wish the rest of the world would get proper Rugbrød so that I don't have to cringe at the prospect of going hungry in foreign lands.

I wish we had a competent police over here. Not sure which country does though...

Apparently some do though, for example New Zealand, but I'm not very sure though.

OT: M, a good government were they think about the people and not about themselves.

I wish archery here in Aus was more mainstream, my gear would be so much cheaper T.T

What I wouldn't do to have peanut butter chocolate sold in every store in my country instead of just a handfull of very specific candy stores. But it seems Australia has a very angry policy when it comes to the matter of mixing peanut butter with chocolate...

Also, still wishin' they would release Splice into Australian cinemas and indeed all the other really great looking movies that you yankee devils have gotten multiple months ahead of me.

I live in England too and i'm jealous of their peanut filled M&Ms, but I wouldn't swap all our proper coco chocolate for them

We've had those peanut filled M&M's here in Germany since... errr... to be honest, ever since I can think. Gimme a sec here.

*googled some stuff*

yep, the peanut thingys have been introduced in the mid '50s. You don't have those in the UK?!

Uh, and I wish we had a decent attitude here concerning computer games. You're either considered a kid or a psychopath if you enjoy playing them by those who don't

 

[yoyo13rom]

I wish I had twinkies here, in my country...

 

[James Joseph Emerald]

Those crunchy Cheetoh things you get in the States.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

I have just eaten a Twinkie. I live in central England.

Ooohhh I wish they sold Twinkies for cheap in England..! I found some but they were being sold for £2.50 each (that translates to about $3.80 in America). Per Twinkie!? How ridiculous.
What I have to do is when I find out someone is going to America, plead with them to bring some back with them. Is that too much to ask?? They're so tasty and I enjoy them so much, it's frustrating that once I eat them all I have to wait ages for some more.

Anyway, before I get into a massive sulk (I only have one left), is there something you can't get or do where you live?

I agree, that's one thing I'm glad we have over here - sweet chocolate. Cadburys tastes sooo good after you come back from a country where there isn't any.

Well I don't know where you have been traveling, but we do get Cadburys in the US. I'm in the Midwest. It is expensive, but definitely worth it. Though it is most common to find it during Easter.

As a german, i'd like to have...

Hulu
Last.fm on Xbox 360
Netflix
Double Cheeseburgers in McDonalds
Vla (Pudding-ish substance from the Netherlands)
More Cinemas playing movies in it's original, non-dubbed sound
Same for TV
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World in said cinemas in August instead of November, or, worse, next January
Vanilla Coke (also stopped selling it here)

...i think thats it.

So far, the one thing I can think of is that fast food outlets and cinemas in countries like Germany and France can and do sell alcoholic beverages, but I've yet to find such an establishment here in Blighty.

Cinemas do sell beer and other "soft" alcoholic beverages, fast food outlets used to in the 90ies, but don't do it anymore (no idea if it's forbidden now though), at least concerning Germany.

Whereabouts do you live? The last time I saw Mountain Dew was in Southampton, a few crates of it stacked on the shelf of an offie.

Woot, Sarfampton. I think i know where you're thinking of, and they do a load of US imports (like Mountain Dew, but also things like Lucky Charms, Nerdz etc) so i don't think that really counts - they put a massive markup on it, a box of Lucky Charms'll set you back about 13 quid if i remember rightly.

That sounds more like one of those speciality imported sweet shops. Is there one in Southampton now? Whereabouts?

The place I saw them was an off-licence in Bedford Place, it might have been Champagne Charley's, but then again it might not.

 

[LightspeedJack]

It would be nice to get taco bell and mountain dew here in the UK. I also want twinkies XD
lousy americans hogging all the good stuff

Have you had Mountain Dew? Because it's not that good. It's basically just Sprite with less lemon and more sugar.

Yep, and thats just the way i like it
The one i really wanted was the Azeroth Blue flavour though. It sounded amazing

 

[MasTerHacK]

Flatrate with OVER 1Mbps/256Kbps speed.

 

[Cyberjester]

I'm Aus so you know, just name something.

Coke Cherry though, that was awesome.

Well I live on Earth..and I really wish we had a planetary ring like Saturn.

YES!! YEESS!! That's the best idea ever!

We might have to blowup the moon though. *sad face*

Oh well....

Can I do it? Pleassssssssse
