Preferably something that has no equivalent in the USA.

Don't get any salty junk food. Americans make the best salty junk food on earth. Your sweets are horrid, though. I'd say get some Mulino Bianco crostatine di albicocche.
Also good: wine gums, though my personal favourite candy/sweetie is candied hibiscus. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, though.

my friend did some snack exchange with some dude in high WoW guild like 8 years ago and tim tams were one of the things he received

80% of the smiths chips in aus are heaven. love the sweet chili thins. also they market doritos, grainwaves and twisties so they clearly know their shit.
the red rock deli honey soy chicken and chili chips are amazing.
in nz you've got pineapple lump chocolates, l&p soda, fresh up and just juice fruit juice, rashuns chips and this heavenly recipe we call lollycake made of crushed biscuits, condensed milk and little soft lollies.
pascall lollies are pretty good in general though and these little cunty toffee sticks called k bars. moro bars and pinkies are god tier chocolate bars.
also amazing is this powdered fruit juice called raro which comes in all different flavours in little saches you mix with water. as a kid me and my sister used to steal them from the pantry and take them to school to share with friends. it was basically just flavoured sugar in a bag. i'm fairly certain every child in nz has attempted to snort it at least once.
soft drinks in nz are awesome in general, at least compared to aus standards. 99c for a 1.25ltr of budget soda in a million different flavours, all hail the ice cream soda.

I lived in Germany for a year and got addicted to these. They are pure sugar and fatty as hell, even by American standards, but so goddamn good. Can't find them outside of Europe, despite my best efforts.
