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?

Peanut butter! We just don't have the good stuff here. It's the only present I remember from my father's guest sisters when they visited us.

We get the good stuff from the Netherlands though.

I'd suggest some disgusting shit like canned cheese.
