Because every food item in the US is crazy expensive? When I was there in January, there were Chip-Bags for 4-8$. In Germany, a potato-chip bag starts at 1.10 and the national brands at 1.99. I love potato chips. But I do not buy 5$ bags. Thats crazy.
Yeah its nuts a bag of Doritos at stop and shop near me is $5.99 like its fucking dried corn with some spices and preservatives.
The price gouging has reached snap on tools level which in reality is just tje standard model for corporations. Aim for 500-1000% profit margins or even higher if possible
99% sure it’s made in Germany when sold there. Would have to look on the backside.
As for the price, I am pretty sure US products tend to use larger sizes packing wise. These should be 250g - and the price is definitely one reason not to buy. The same product can be bought for half off-brand
How can we be sure Philadelphia cream cheese is from America?
Also how is philly cream cheese cheaper in germany than at my local stores right next to philly god this country is shit.
Additionally to what others mentioned, Philadelphia ‘cheese’ is not from Philadelphia
Really? 12€/kg you could get some good cheese for that price. I rarely buy this as I considere it pricy.

I want to get off Uncle Sam’s Wild Ride.
Though, German chips are generally terrible
They are the same Lays.

The prices in the US are much higher in general.
It’s probably produced in the EU, maybe not even by Mondelez itself but some license-taker, but it’s still an American brand.
Also it’s overpriced. Never came across any store-brand stuff that’s worse in any way. The domestic name brand would be Exquisa.
