I wanted the full Iceland experience when we went so I tried to get as much uniquely Icelandic products as possible. I can see, however, the lure if you had moved there.
If I were in Iceland and going to that store, I would have to get the Honey Nut Cheerios and if I could find it, Special K Cinnamon Pecan. My two favs that I eat in the US.
I love going to local stores when traveling out of country. It is fun to see the different items and packaging of international brands from country to country
I live in the UK, and there are often "American" aisles or sections in the shops here. They always have only the sugariest, fakest, most stereotypical American foods (think Oreos, Pop Tarts, Kraft Mac n' Cheese, etc). As an American, I can honestly say, I almost never ate those brands growing up, and I'd much rather have brands like Annie's macaroni and cheese as opposed to Kraft, and I can't find simple ingredients (like molasses or canned pumpkin) anywhere! I wish they'd just sell things like that, instead of just sweets and fake cheese, honestly!
Hey Boo, thanks for revealing the "Honeycomb", or shall I say Cinnamon Toast Crunch "hideout" for us here in the 'States because I sure would be going through withdrawals without it too! Now, on to finding the collard greens section on aisle 3! 😄
Ugh! The worst high-sugar ultra processed American crap “food” for the most part. Delicious, but as you reach middle age, if not sooner, you hopefully figure out it’s not really worth it in the long run. That said, Golden Grahams are one of my historic faves! Also Grape Nuts (with raisins added)and GN Flakes (with blueberries)….
I don't buy Cinnamon Toast Crunch because I have zero self-control and I know I will just inhale the whole box immediately, but when I was in college I would often eat a bowl of it from the dining hall for dessert after dinner. It's not just the cinnamon-sugar coating, but the dough of the squares tastes a bit fried in a way that most cereal does not. I checked, and the fourth ingredient after wheat, sugar and rice flour is oil. So it really is like a churro in cereal form. And what better to go with a churro than milk?
That was fun. It was great to see the San-J bottled sauce products. I've used them since the 1980s. I wonder if they have them down in DK. There are a lot of products that I miss when I'm there. As for boxed cereal, I'm not really into it as I cook steel cut oatmeal. But, in the 70s/80s/90s, I occasionally ate either Grapenuts or Raisin Brand with a banana and either unsweetened soy milk or RW Knudsen organic apple juice when in a hurry. And as a small child, in the very late 50s and 60s, I liked plain Rice Krispies and also plain Cheerios, both with a banana and either apple juice, unsweetened soy milk, or regular milk unless the dairy allergy flared back up. In the early 1980s, a close friend from the U.K., but who lived in my same building in Kbh, came to visit me. It was her first trip to the U.S. I asked her what she wanted to see first and she responded that she wanted to go to an American supermarket as she had heard of the huge selection of boxed cereal. LOL! So, off we drove to the supermarket and she was like a kid in a toy store. She got her camera out and took pictures. She still remembers it. Greetings from Los Angeles
Omg!!! Too funny!! I avoid those isles here in the USA like a plague!!! I stopped buying those boxed cereals like 10 years ago. I used to love Honey Smacks, The vanilla cookie Jarvis and frosted flakes with cheese in it 😂 And btw, is there a market for that in Iceland?! The owners of that must pay a fortune to get these items over there 😮
Just want to let you know Jewels (?) that most sweetened canned drinks are almost completely sugar with flavor added. If you check the label of a soda and look at the amount of carbs and compare it to the amount of sugar, you will see that the numbers are the same. This means that you are basically drinking a can of sugar. I like sparkling flavored water or just adding a small squirt of MIOS to it. It gives me the feeling of drinking a soda without the huge amounts of sugar.
The closest one I've found is 6 hours away in Warsaw. Still shipping through Dompak. I see my Frank's RedHot! Favorite cereal: Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries and Peanut Butter
Australian cities often have USA food shops, but I’ve never seen one that big or comprehensive. Maybe because we also have plenty of US products in supermarkets as well… I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets headaches in the cleaning aisle 😅
This is fascinating. Is this a single store or a chain? Is there a big enough market for American food? My favorite cereal: Raisin Bran. Favorite guilty pleasure cereal: Lucky Charms. (It's a wonder I've lived as long as I have.)
America-land! It must feel comforting (or frightening!) My jam is Capn' Crunch Peanut Butter. But Dad is obsessed with Cinnamon Toast Crunch. He just stocked up on 7 boxes. With the sale and coupon it was only $2 a box. We were curious about the prices there. Must be high!
While visiting Iceland, I would try some of the different Icelandic foods. However, I would still have to pick up supplies from this store! I love Kelloggs Frosted flakes.
Thanks that was fun, what a huge selection! I'm a big fan of Special K , and I really like the Quaker oats cinnamon and Apple, I buy them here in London uk most supermarkets have them, I'm surprised to see so many cereals in there that are stocked here too, I didn't know they are American.
A girl after my own heart with that Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I'm impressed with the variety there, including the fact I noticed a number of items geared toward special dietary needs, like gluten free. I'd be interested to know the markup after you factor in the currency conversion for some of those items. What a nice store when you need a little nostalgia. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! They have some vegan options. I don’t know how long it has been at this location but it used to be in a much bigger location when I first moved.
Please 🙏 i will really appreciate if you could help me with orientation on what or how i can do in other to forward my education in there in Iceland 🙏🙏
Hi. I think it’s best for you to reach out to the main university here. Háskóli Íslands is the one I am referring to. Also, this website might be helpful - study.iceland.is I don’t know much more than that.
Please I’m a Cameroonian and I’ve been studying in Russia for 3 years and will be graduating next year. I will really love to forward my education in Iceland 🇮🇸
What a Nightmare! I would just die going to a store with all USA products! One good thing I have enjoyed about living in Europe the past 10yrs is NOT seeing those products! Why live in Europe if you desire USA things? I am sure somewhere here in Sweden they have such a place. I will never know. I guess this just makes me realize how even being born in the USA I simply was never an American!
I wanted the full Iceland experience when we went so I tried to get as much uniquely Icelandic products as possible. I can see, however, the lure if you had moved there.
I saw jiffy cornbread mix😍😍😍. That was a staple around our dinner table in the 80"s.
🥳🥳

No wonder were're dying down here.
French Toast Crunch is my all time favorite. Better than cinnamon toast crunch because it doesn’t get soggy as quickly.
Loved Corn flakes as a child. I haven't had it in years. Thanks for sharing this information.
I love going to local stores when traveling out of country. It is fun to see the different items and packaging of international brands from country to country
What a fun place! Maple brown sugar oatmeal for me all the way, You certainly deserved that cinnamon toast crunch.🎉
🥳🥳🥳🔥🔥🔥
Well, now I'll be able to convince my American partner to go back to Iceland sooner! It's impressive how much they have in stock.
🥳🥳🥳
Frosted Flakes, captain crunch blueberries
🥳🥳🥳 thanks for sharing
How do you ignore the Jiffy cornbread?🤦🏽♂️😂
😂😂
I said the same thing! Not the Jiffy mix!! 😂

Hola muy buenas tardes me gustan tus videos eres muy linda saludos desde chiclayo Perú
Do they have a favorite pizzeria or Chinese restaurant in Reykjavik?

Hey i am your podcast video editor. Would like to be your full time video editor. Thank you.
They don't have the free & clear Dawn spray? I find the regular ones too fragrant already xD.
I didn’t specifically look for that so I’m not sure.
Yes too stinky. I like free and clear as well.
I wonder if this is geared toward the US army that’s nearby? I loved Captain Crunch as a kid, but no way would I eat any of those things now 😂
I am a teacher coming to Iceland in June and would love for you to show me around. Let's connect.
Have learned any more information about the houses being heated my nature hot water??
Cap’n Crunch Oops All berry’s
I would shop there if I lived in Iceland
Why the "american"?
It was american.
Sugar Pops
Thanks for sharing.
That is really interesting!!
Do they have Reynolds’s wrap?
Yup, I showed it in the video 😊
Just came across your channel and as a fellow Brooklynite I can relate. Just subscribed
🥳🥳🥳
Lucky Charms is the best cereal ever in life eternal. It’s magically delicious! 🤗
😂 I admit that it is tasty
Haven’t heard from you in a while on this channel. Hope everything’s okay!
Hi!! Yes, everything is good. Been so busy with other things but I have fun UA-cam content in the works. 🤗 Thanks for checking in.
What an amazing store! How much is the mark up on those items! I would have to get some Corn Flakes!!!!
The Cinnamon Toast Crunch was about $9.30 😭
I saw on google maps from where I’m at it’ll take me 9hrs & 45min to get there, so I guess I’ll be heading to HEB or Walmart here in a few minutes lol
😂 I think that’s the right move
I hope that you are safe
This grocery store is more patriotic than the average American.
😂😂😂
😂😂
Now I’m craving a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch too lol
Same 😂
Now ***this*** is where my Lucky Charms comment belonged 😂😂😂
😂😂
You said there were healthier products in that store but you didn't show us any.
I showed some oats, pasta, and triscuits. The healthy selection is definitely limited and I think they focus more on sugary and salty foods.
OOH King Arthur Flour products!!!! Even the gluten free brownie mix!!!!
That was fun.

FYI Nôa Krop is made with Kix. Saw that cerial in your background. Love Noa Krop
Waffle Crisp, Lucky Charms and Boo Berry. 🙂
Interesting store, my childhood favorite cereal actually were cornflakes.

My favorite is chocolate Poptarts. Excited to visit this store when we come in June!

Aww, 6 hours away is intense. Thanks for sharing! 🤗
The place is EMPTY!😂
😂 I purposefully went when there are hardly any people so I wasn’t unintentionally filming strangers

I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets headaches in the cleaning aisle 😅
So fascinating to hear that other countries do something similar.
Omg, the smell in the cleaning aisles is overwhelming.
Looks good definitely going to be there shopping a lot 😊
Pops a d fruit loops
Ooo wow! I haven’t thought about those in years!
CAPTAIN CRUNCH. And why not eat the whole box? Everyone's allowed a guilty pleasure! I always love seeing your perspective on Iceland.
So true and I definitely indulged. 😊
Lucky Charms
🥳🥳🥳
This is fascinating. Is this a single store or a chain? Is there a big enough market for American food?
My favorite cereal: Raisin Bran. Favorite guilty pleasure cereal: Lucky Charms. (It's a wonder I've lived as long as I have.)
It’s one store. It used to be in a bigger location but I think that changed when Costco came to town.
Thanks for sharing your favorite cereals. 😊

Ohhh, Capn’ Crunch PB sounds so good!! Your dad is my hero. 😂😊 I paid about $9.30 for the Cinnamon Toast Crunch. 😭
Definitely looks like an American supermarket! Exciting!
Right?! They did a good job of tricking my brain. 😂
While visiting Iceland, I would try some of the different Icelandic foods. However, I would still have to pick up supplies from this store! I love Kelloggs Frosted flakes.
I most definitely recommend trying Icelandic food. 😊

Apple Jacks is my guilty pleasure as well as Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Awesome and thanks for sharing. 🤗
Frosted Flakes and Kix!!!
Hi Jewels, thanks for sharing this! I can't believe they have that there. My favorite cereal here in Chicago is Cheerios!
I often forget this store is here. 😂 Thanks for sharing.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is my favorite cereal. I eat it all the time
Also your locs look great in this vid
Nice and thank you! 🤗
Honey Nut Cheerios, Raisin Bran. Cooked oatmeal not the instant.
Thanks for sharing
Rice Krispies for my ice cream, shredded wheat, and puffed wheat.
Ohhh, Rice Krispies with ice cream sounds divine. 😍
As a Canadian , I’m more into granola crunch which I think it’s canada only
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
❤❤❤
🤗
Great video! Has that store been there for a long time? I've never seen it before. Do they have vegan options too?
Thanks! They have some vegan options. I don’t know how long it has been at this location but it used to be in a much bigger location when I first moved.
Thanks You Jewells
Cinnamon Toast Crunch!!!! My all time favorite!!
Yassss!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Cookie Crisp!!
what a great place to go when you get homesick. Were you the ONLY person there?? Enjoy that CTC! AWESOME!! ❤❤❤
Indeed. No, there were some other people there but I was trying my best to avoid them so I wouldn’t unintentionally film them. 😂
That was very polite and considerate! 👍🏻
Honey bunches of oats and cinnamon crunch,with a side of chex
Nice!!
Love to watch your videos❣️
Thank you! 🤗
Can Chrunch..😂
🥳
Yes!!! But as a kid I couldn't stop eating it (even out of the box, dry) and the roof of my mouth would get WRECKED!!! LOL
The cereal I ate as a child was Fruit Loops.
Thanks for sharing
Cinnamon Life or regular Life and raisin bran.
Cool. Thanks for sharing.

What’s the price of Arizona Tea with 99 cents on can?
About $2.50
@@AllThingsIceland actually, that's not TOO bad ... about in line with other "non Arizona" energy drinks and iced tea in a can here in the USA ....
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is like crack! 😆😂
It really is and it has me hooked. Thankfully, the price is way too much for me to justify buying regularly 😂
@AllThingsIceland The one-time inflation saves 🤣
Frosted Mini Wheats for sure!
