I wouldn't miss free refills on sodas as they are sugar -- no, high-fructose corn syrup filled junk -- but iced tea.... I'd be brewing my own! including hibiscus and other herbal iced teas.
Dill pickles are good with some sandwiches.
I still can't get over pimiento cheese though. I associate that with my childhood.

Anyway, yes, it's disgusting when pickle juice soaks a sandwich, especially with thin spongey American white bread. OTOH, some people LOVE pickle juice -- there are pickle juice snowcones!
I like dill slices that aren't still swimming in juice, with barbecue and hamburgers and the like, and minced into things like tuna salad or chicken salad.

Re: What would you miss from the good 'ole US of A?
Pretty much nothing. I did have a long good ponder on the question and came up with just a few items I like, but wouldn't particulary 'miss'.
- Sourpatch kids (aka - stupidist name for a pack of sweets ever)
- These caramel apple lollipops, there probably available in the UK somewhere.. but I buy absolutley bags of them whenever I'm in a shop that sells 'em.
I gotta say thats its, don't think I'll really miss the salty meat or the soap tasting 'gummy' sweets

The biggest thing I think I would miss is the beer. Seriously.
