I've found statistics, but I want to know the names of as many products as possible that the USA exports to the UK (eg. Hershey's chocolate) - can anyone help me out?

On a side note, what's a gangbanger in the US? Or a gangbang? I heard it on some American TV show, but here it means something quite different from whatever it means in the US (a gangbang is group sex in the UK, though the word is also sometimes used to refer to a group rape)

Jaguar, the BBC and British Airways ;)

you have to listen to context, it can mean either "group sex" or "someone who is in a gang" (that is a criminal gang)

What for? Even Cadbury is miles better than that stuff... :confused:

US Exports of WMD to UK

F*&$%ng Starbucks and Macdonalds, involvement in misguided military adventures in Mesopotamia, some good tv programmes and some awful films.

To be fair, I don't know anybody who bought it more than once. And that once was just for the novelty. It really tastes like crap.

Well, we pay the USA to stick nukes on Airstrip One, we then call it an "independent deterrent" and get to wave our dicks at the rest of the world while they think we're pretty pathetic. Offhand, my sister watches every fucking stupid American "comedy" (except Family Guy, possibly the only funny American show) and every other stupid American show on 4, E4, E4+1, ITV2, ITV3, ITV4 and 5.

Rant over.

Judging by the agricultual production of the USA quite a lot of high fructose corn syrup.

Oranges. I think there are a lot of american oranges in the UK. I think the Foresttry Commission says that most of the hardwood in the UK comes from either the USA or Latvia. Other than that I don't really know.

There you go. The UK imports hardwood and oranges from the USA.

Vomit + disinfectant = Hersheys chocolate

Since the UK imports forty percent of it's food, I imagine that accounts for a lot of it.

The chief imports are manufactured goods, machinery, semifinished and consumer goods, and foodstuffs. Since the early 1970s, Great Britain's trade focus has shifted from the United States to the European Union, which now accounts for over 50% of its trade. Germany, the United States, France, and the Netherlands are the main trading partners, and the Commonwealth countries are also important.


And yes, Hershey's sucks. But it's what most Americans are taught passes for chocolate. But surely not even the most blind patriot could defend it.

Gangbang is the group sex type.

Gangbanger is the criminal type. The term is reserved for criminal gang members that go around shooting and killing each other. Most gang killings are committed by rival gang members, or gangbangers.

I dunno... we're dealing with the country where WWE wrestling is marketed as a sport, and 16 fl oz is called a pint.

I'm sure there's a lot of military export from the US to the UK. Also there's the fact that, while in practice multinational, many brand name foodstuffs like Coca-Cola and Mars have their origins in the US market. Other than that, America exports bazillions worth of software, though whether you can call that export is open to question.
