It is dangerous to go into the US2U store when you are an American immigrant now 18 yrs in New Zealand. You are nostalgia-buying things, grabbing a little snack of memories.
Those peanut butter cheese crackers Dad used to buy when he'd take me out surveying with him.
The red vines my college roomate had a massive container of freshman year and we'd all eat way too many during study sessions.
The wheat thins my health-nut parents always had in the pantry that taste like home. I hand one to my kid like I'm passing on some important piece of heritage and they are just like "um, tastes like a cracker."
