Beloved Imports

[neobi]

My parents just got back from visiting my cousins in Canada, Wpg. MB. I have dual citizenship And they brought back some of my favorite canadian goodies.

1) Smarties: No not the compact sugar thingies us americans get, but these..


They're in concept like M&M's but yet completely different. They chocalate is sooo supreme it's this rich creamy milky chocolate that nothing else compares to. And for those of u who know what I'm talking about, no I don't eat my red ones last

2) Coffee Crisp: I don't drink coffee nor do I like coffee but my god these things are awesome! I don't know what kinda addictive drug they put in these, but if I had access to these on a daily basis I would go bankrupt.

3) All Dressed Chips: I'm still not sure how many flavors there are but I can assure I tasted BBQ, Cheese, Salt, and quite a few others.

4) Ketchup Chips: I have recently found that you can rarely find these in the US but I barely ever see them. I love em though ;-) I also love SLAT AND VINAGER cause the canadian style is 10x stronger and better. Yummy

There's more but I can't think of them wait oh yeah

5) Fuzzy Peaches!!!!

I know your disapointment. Here's the smarties we get, they're actually ok but no-where close to Canadian Smarties.

Re: Beloved Imports

Those are those crappy chalk candies everybody gives out at halloween.

In Canada they're called "Rockets"

Re: Beloved Imports

Our Smarties are the cheap candy you get because you can't afford the good candy.

Edit: This topic is blowing my mind! I always though Canada was pretty much the same as America, except with crappier TV.

Re: Beloved Imports

I've eaten both kinds of Smarties, the European version I've been eating since I was a wee lad of a single-digit age.

Sucks to be you guys.

Yeah they're like rockets, but they're softer and seem to almost disolve in your mouth. Rockets are just harder.

I beleive its the other way around. For the most part everything on TV in the states is complete crap. Canada just has slightly less crap.

Re: Beloved Imports

I've seen Canadian TV, it's crap. At least I can find one or two stations on American TV that I enjoy.

Re: Beloved Imports

As a unbiased dual countryman I can honestly say that I like American TV better. Also Canadian TV gives me this Channel 4 news feel, meaning well my channel 4 news I get is seems like your watching old news and kinda has that hazzy feel to it. But we do get some of the same stations. And I stopped watching TV a long while ago, ALL TV is pretty much crap nowadays. Only once in a great South Park will I watch TV.

Re: Beloved Imports

I also have dual citizenship.

*rocks out*

But theres quiet a few canadian shows that I like to watch if I happen to catch them in time.

Most canadian cartoons are horrible. But one stands out above the rest. Yvon of the Yukon. Only a true candian can watch that show.
