Canada vs. US - and the snacks.......

moped wrote: So I have a few freinds in the states and we always send each other things that we can't get in our cities. For example, until recently we couldn't get:

Toritos with a hint o lime - LOVE THOSE
SWOOPS
Special K Vanilla Almond

I still can't get:

Gerber vegys puffs or any gerber food, but I can get all the gerber bottle stuff
We don't have Target here
No Victoria Secret
Certain chocolate bars

I always send my freind many chocolate bars that she can't get in the states. I used to send her Salt and Vinegar chips, but she can get them now.

Can anybody add to the list of things you can't get in the states and vice versa?

Mommy2BAK replied: Sorry, but I have no clue, LOL

GavinsMommy replied: I don't have a clue either...but I know one thing you can do in Canada that you can't do here that hubbie would just LOVE to move there for

GavinsMommy replied: OMG i would DIE without target!!! i love target!!! you gimme money, i'll send you stuff...*evil grin* LMAO...

Celestrina replied: This may not be a snack like the others mentioned above, but the one thing I can't find down here is poutine (pronounced poo-TEEN). I fell in love with it while visiting my friend in Montreal.

GavinsMommy replied:
what is that?????

Celestrina replied: Essentially it's french fries with cheese and gravy. There's a description on this page, but it's better than it sounds. Trust me.
French-Canadian Foods

I live in the metro detroit area and have mutliple grocery stores around if there is anything specific you would like PM me and I will see what I can do. We also have all the gerber foods and veggie/fruit puffs here too.

3_call_me_mama replied: there are actually websites that you can to and order food from other countries and have it delivered to you. I LOVE cadbury's chocolate but it HAS to be from england. or made there. Unfortunately,i don't know anyone that lives there in real life so I found a place on line that sell it is here in the us. They have in imported form there and resell it.... course i could always hit someone up on this board from there to send me some..... but this way i can order exactally what i want and it comes in liek 2-3 days!

GavinsMommy replied:
isn't marijuana legal there? that's what he says

GavinsMommy replied:
we have cadbury's here in ga and sc

ammommy replied:
Yeah, but it's processed differently. The same goes for some of the Canadian beer. Same label, different taste.

kit_kats_mom replied:
mmmmm sleighman beer. yummy

GavinsMommy replied:
oh okay. i thought she meant we didn't have it at all. i knew we didn't have everything that cadbury sells...

A&A'smommy replied: I will send ya'll stuff if you send me some yummy stuff
