1. Rice Krispies Treats
Unique treats with no equivalent in Russia. Sweet, crunchy rice sweets. Perfect with milk or simply as a snack. Sometimes they are served like cereal with warm milk for breakfast, and kids love it. They were invented in Michigan in 1939, and at first only Girl Scouts could sell them to support their organization. If you watch an American movie and the homeowners are overjoyed that girls in uniform selling sweets have finally knocked on their door, chances are they are so happy precisely because they get to buy Rice Krispies.
2. Sour Patch Kids
Soft, sweet candies coated in sour sugar. They were first sold under the name "Mars Men" in the 1970s, but were later renamed "Sour Patch Kids" in 1985. They are sold in more than 80 different flavor combinations. Their world-famous slogan is "Sour. Sweet. Gone". They are sour at first, then sweet, which creates an interesting contrast. Very popular in movie theaters, and there are even plans to make a movie about them. And in 2011, a video game was made.
3. Starburst
These candies were created by Mars in the 1960s. Back then they were called "Opal Fruits," with flavors like "tropical lemon" and "sun on the beach." The two most popular flavors today are piña colada and strawberry banana. The original Starburst flavors are so popular in America that they are also sold as candy corn, ice pops, chewing gum, jelly beans and even lip glosses.
4. Gummy Bears
One of the most famous sweets in the world, considering how many movies and cartoon series have been made about them. Small fruit-flavored bears that you can chew. Made of tasty gummy candy (Russian doesn't even have a word for it; people often say they are "marmalade," although that's not quite right, they are closer to gelatin). Known since the 1920s, they were kids' main entertainment during the Great Depression in the US in the 30s. Now they are sold in a hundred different formats and flavors. There are both traditional ones (2 cm tall) and huge bears (up to 30-40 cm in height, which people buy as gifts).
5. Nerds
Popular mini candies, dragées. Easy to chew, with an interesting combination of fruit flavors. Besides the pleasant, unusual taste, their special feature is that a box usually contains two or three combinations. And each flavor in the box has its own compartment and its own opening in the packaging. Produced since 1983, they are among the favorite candies of American kids. They have received the "Candy of the Year" award several times. A very unusual thing, but sweet lovers are crazy about it.
