Please help me find my Euro Snacks

Where can I buy Nutella Snack and Drink online or in the Bay Area?

While on vacation in Europe, I had the most amazing thing: Nutella Snack & Drink. It's little Pocky-like crackers, Nutella, and peach juice in a convenient and super cute package. (See here). Is there any place I can buy it in the Bay Area or online? Also, what is the name of the yogurt they have in England- the one in the square container with the stir-in bits in the corner? Thanks!

For Nutella Snack and Drink, I would try an Italian specialty shop like AG Ferarri, or one of the groceries in SF's North Beach. If they don't stock it, they might be able to order it for you.

Buonitalia in NYC sells it online.

The yoghurts are Müller Corners.

Thank you zippy and carbide! You have made my day. I suppose I will check out AG Ferrari, seeing as how shipping from Buonitalia is $20! Now if only they sold Müller Corners in the US... I generally hate yogurt, but I loved Müller Corners.

Peach Juice? In Italy it's with tea! I'd send over a carton but I think shipping rates would kill you.

(on preview: ok, peach-flavoured tea, seeing your photo)

Ah, thanks _dario, that's quite sweet of you to offer! Perhaps I can concoct my own version with peach-flavored tea? However, I am quite the sucker for cute packaging! I like how the drink and the snack come in a single container. I know what I'm stuffing my spare suitcase with the next time I go to Europe.

Nutella is distributed worldwide, peach-flavored tea should be a no-brainer; wrt the crackers, they are regular grissini, although in 1/4 lenght version (breadsticks, try and see if you can find San Carlo's for instance, which are quite similar), so I don't think there'd be much of a problem in recreating the experience at home (though american friends report that US Nutella is somewhat different from its italian counterpart).

I hear you on the packaging, it's kinda neat, but looks like shipping food to the US is incredibly convoluted because, you know, if you eat unauthorized Nutella, the terrorists win.

I'd call You Say Tomato.
