Best products to bring back to Europe from the US

I'm a US citizen living in Berlin, and I'm currently back in the US (Northeast Ohio specifically) for a family wedding. We've got a lot of extra room in our suitcases, so I want to bring stuff back that's hard(er) to get ahold of in Germany. I figured this is a good place to ask for any recommendations from others who live in Europe or have experience traveling!
As an example, here are some of the common recs I've seen in threads on r/germany:
- bulk OTC meds like aspirin and tylenol (not hard to find in Germany but cheaper in the US)
- brown sugar
- double-acting baking powder
- Frank's red hot sauce (maybe other hot sauce as well, Germans are not a spicy people)
- Ranch dressing (I've heard the powdered kind is better bc it's easier to pack?)
- Adobo seasoning (probably other Latin American ingredients too but this one specifically is a must-buy even for my white ass)
- specific brands of candies & junk food not available in Germany (though ime this category is the easiest to find at US-themed international stores, albeit at high prices)
- Levi's jeans for some reason (I don't really get this one tbh but I always see Germans saying it in threads)
I know for sure I'll get home and immediately regret not having purchased something. Anyone with experience traveling between these two continents, please let me know if you think of something missing from this list!

Ok, so the "Going on a trip and have zero idea what to do as a non-tourist..." isn't entirely true like it was in my post about NYC last year, but everyone was extremely helpful and threw out suggestions I wouldn't have even thought about looking for. So here I am again to bug you wonderful people for Tildes Travel Guide 2: Electric Denver Boogaloo
Same as before, staying for a week, I do have a rental car this time (trying to decide between the comfort of a Lexus or sportiness of an Alfa Romeo, damn car guy indecisiveness) so transport is less of an issue, anything that you'd suggest to see/do?

I just saw eggs at $3.06 for a 36 pack at my local Walmart. Not too long ago a 12 pack was pushing close to $7.00 in my area.
What’s up with that? Is the greedy egg price gouging catching up with the farms or something?
Wasn’t sure where to put this one.
