With all the German chatter yesterday on the tariff business....there are three food/beverage products that I came to realize....are imported into Germany, from the US:
- Doritos
- Doctor Pepper
- Pringles Chips
To be honest....over the years...I've tried German-made Doritos-type chips, and they simply can't match the US brand.
I'm not saying I'm a big Doritos fan....just that there is no replacement in my mind.
As for Doctor Pepper? I probably haven't sipped one since the early 1980s.

As an avid Dr Pepper fan, I discovered it is made and bottled right here in Germany. The taste is a little different because, here, they use sugar and not corn syrup. And you are correct about the Doritos, they seem to be much thinner here.
The one thing I noticed this week....from this 'group' of American items that they tried to suggest as imported....virtually all of the 15 are actually manufactured/produced either in Europe or the UK. I thought it was just odd....public-TV (ARD) telling this story, and fairly bogus after you go line by line.
On Dr Pepper....I'm just surprised that many Germans drink the stuff.
Dr Pepper.....elixir of life, soother of the savage beast, therapy for the soul.
