I am heading down to the US to visit a friend and I want to bring a bunch of foods or drinks that you can find in Canada but not in the US. So far I have thought of Alexander Keiths (he loves IPAs), Ketchup chips, Smarties, Coffee Crisp, Aero. So my fellow Giant Bombers, can you think of other foods or drinks that fit this criteria?

I'm pretty sure you can get Smarties in the US. Unless those are not what I think they are.

@tfsteefs: All Dressed! I forgot about that, added to the list.

@PeasantAbuse: As far as I know that is only here in Ontario.

Yeah, from what tfsteefs said they sound pretty good. Is there a reason they don't sell them in the US?

@the_OFFICIAL_jAPanese_teaBAG: Yeah, they sound right up our alley I don't know what the Ruffles dudes are thinking.

@tfsteefs: I think I saw those around the time the Super Bowl was happening, but I don't know if they are still being sold here.

wait you cant buy all dressed chips outside of Canada? or ketchup? or smarties?? I had no idea.

macintosh toffee is delcious, its usually sold with the chocolate bars at a grocery store. If you're lucky enough to get one that hasnt turned to rock they are fantastic.

I'd seriously just buy a ton of all dressed chips. They are fantastic definitely one of my favourite flavours and everyone I know likes them. I had no clue they were a Canadian exclusive.

Look for these!

Lot of good foods, listed. Anyone know of some drinks (alcoholic or non)? Also wouldn't mind some IPA suggestions if anyone knows some good ones.

What is that Canadian candy that Ryan liked in one of the mailbags? It was like a small graham cracker coated with chocolate and shaped like a ball with a lot of bumps on it? I think it started with a W.

Anyway, I remember having those as a kid and they were deliciousl

I don't remember that mailbag but that sounds like Ferrero Rocher http://socialhoneycomb.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/ferrero-rocher.jpg

Yeah, many American brands have national variations across the world. Reminds me of beer in German Mc Donald's and crazy orange, sour cheese Ruffles in Mexico and recently southern California.

@tfsteefs: Saw them at a 7-eleven the other day but they were part of a promotional thing where people voted for different flavors (chili fries, hot wings, crap, etc). They taste like vinegar.

@Sign: I am trying to find the mailbag, and the more I dig, the more I think that maybe it wasn't a mailbag, it was an office video though.

@MooseyMcMan: Not sure which country you are from but what the US call Smarties we call Rockets. This is what Smarties are in Canada http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smarties

We have those as well actually, though I forget the name on the packaging.

Last Christmas I set up a coupla boxes full of Canadian-only food to send to some of my friends from the States.

No Caption Provided

I think that the Cherry Blasters and Fuzzy Peaches are available in the US actually, but not under that brand name.

Threw the Dew in there because it's caffeine free up here.

Also: Funny story. When both of them got their packages, the kinder eggs were broken open. That would be because of why you can't get Kinder Eggs in the US. You can't sell food that actually contains non-edible items in the US, so I supposed they were broken open "for the safety of the recipient" or in case I was hiding a bomb or something I don't know.

Hahah I forgot about the Kinder Eggs issue, I definitely have to bring those and some Cuban cigars. Do they really not have Crush Cream Soda?

There is this place Dartmouth, Nova Scotia that serves these awesome cheeseburgers. I think it was called Dirty Burger or something. My only complaint was that a group of kids threw a bunch of glass bottles at my car.

If you bring in Kinder Surprises across the border you're going to have them confiscated. I think they're illegal to import into the States.

Well, were you coming to Australia from Canada, I'd ask you to bring enough sour cream glazed timbits to feed the nation. I haven't seen sour cream glazed donuts here! It drives me nuts!

I am always surprised at the different foods one has that the other doesn't. To me Canada and the USA are basically the same country.

I'd say salt and vinegar french fries, but, that's not really something you can bring with you. ...And it is also much more wish that I could walk around town and just find french fry stands to buy salt and vinegar fries from.
