I often wondered what curious food treasures are lurking in the aisles of Walmarts around the world.
So, I did my research and these are the 25 unique items you won’t find in your local US Walmart.
From exotic snacks to mouth-watering treats, each of these items has something special that makes it stand out.
1. Cadbury Dairy Milk Lickables
Oh boy, Cadbury Dairy Milk Lickables is like a treasure chest for chocolate lovers. Imagine dipping into a pot of creamy Cadbury chocolate. You’ll find a surprise toy waiting for you.
It’s like Kinder Surprise, but with a twist of rich, velvety chocolate. This is a staple in Indian Walmarts. Why not in the US? Perhaps it’s the toy inside that causes regulatory headaches.
2. Lay’s Hot Chili Squid Chips
A combination of fragrant squid and fiery chili – sounds wild, right?
These chips are a hit in Thailand. They are capturing the essence of local street food. But why are they absent from the US? The bold flavors might be too adventurous for the typical American palate.

3. Nestlé Milo Nuggets
They are tiny, bite-sized pieces of chocolaty, that melt in your mouth like a dream. Popular in Southeast Asia.
These nuggets offer a nostalgic taste of childhood energy drinks. Maybe it’s the malt-chocolate combo that hasn’t caught on stateside. Who knows?

Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream is a thick, luscious spread that combines the rich taste of malt and chocolate with a crunch. It’s like Nutella’s eccentric cousin!

If you ever get the chance, give it a try – your breakfast will never be the same!
6. Pringles Soft-Shelled Crab Flavor

Perhaps the diverse flavors cater to a niche market. It’s a snack that celebrates love and inclusivity.
12. Mountain Dew Violet
A bold twist on the classic soda. It’s infused with grape flavor.
