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!
