Hallo! What American novelties would Germans enjoy? (sh.itjust.works)

Ich besuche meine Familie nächste Woche, und ich will kleine Geschenke mitbringen.

I know American chocolate is inferior, but I assume it's still a novelty. Some kind of candies probably, too. What else? Many years ago they loved to get boxed breakfast cereal and paper napkins, which seems quaint now.

It's been years since I've seen them, and I'm sure everyone there can buy whatever they want on the Internet, but it will still be fun to bring something.

Any suggestions for an Ausländer?

Asia Supermarket. Look for wasabi peanuts. Dont thank me yet, they get so addictive and hot you dont smell anything for days.

Unfortunately, I despise horseradish (and wasabi), but thanks for the suggestion anyway :)

They are more "scharf", though. It's fun that in English we typically use "hot" to refer to both hot peppers and horseradish.
