Pringles were ridiculously popular and I didn't really expect that... and not to mention they have every flavor of Kit-Kat you could possibly imagine.

Oreos are quite common. Ritz Crackers can also be found in most places...
One that really surprised me when I saw it was Funyuns. Those weird onion ring like things...

I thought Funyuns died in the 90's but I guess not. Anyone seen stuff like Goldfish or Cheeze-its?

They simply do not sell them here. I hate fake cheese snacks, so never noticed... Until someone I know wanted some badly and could not find them anywhere outside of import stores.

Yeah, I've seen both of those in import stores for roughly 400-500 Yen, but not in any regular combini or supermarket.

Honestly I can't really think of any other American snacks that I've found in Japanese stores that haven't been listed already. There are a bunch of snacks, mostly chips or candies, that are very much similar or even identical to certain popular American snacks, but they're still Japanese brands. There's a good number of American sodas in Japan, if you count those as snacks.

I've found frosted flakes and snickers...Try looking for something similar to American food?
