America has the best cereals and pop. Lol from what I've seen, you can get everything you can in the States in Canada, too. Then again, they are mostly American companies producing them. king I didn't realize bagged milk was abnormal, though I don't use it myself. Totally got my friend one of those giant Kinder eggs for Christmas. Something I know that at least the U.S. is lacking is iced tea, at least in the Canadian sense.

Yeah they just have "sweet tea"
No poutine though, such a shame. Ask for fries and gravy and see the weird looks you get.
I'm talking about Chery Pepsi, which is a very limited thing here, mountain dew with caffeine and strawberry crush!
Cereal - Boo Berry, Penaut butter captain crunch, Cookies and cream etc!
WHITE CASTLE

Haha, ask for a Nestea and they ask you what flavour. Strangely enough I only had my first poutine a few years ago, but they certainly are easy to find around here.
I guess the fancier pops are harder to find in Canada. Usually have to go to specialty shops or movie theatres to find them. Are they that commonplace down south? And I'm not a huge cereal fan, though. I probably wouldn't recognize most Canadian cereals. What's white castle?

It is a burger restaurant chain...as seen in Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle Australia has a car I want called the HSV Maloo lol, wish we had that here (used so I could afford it). I think the only HSV that got imported to the US was the Monaro which sold over there as the Pontiac GTO.

On toast is the best When you lay it on as soon as the toast has just come out of the toaster is the best. The hotter, the better. I'm hungry now.

The G8 Sport Truck concept car became a version of the Ute or Maloo in Australia because it was never sold here, which sucks.

Totally got my friend one of those giant Kinder eggs for Christmas. Something I know that at least the U.S. is lacking is iced tea, at least in the Canadian sense. I didn't know either untill some relatives visited from new york and were like "the hell is this?" to bag milk. granted they were also shocked that we dont have "boxed coffee" and they also pronounce "Chocolate" like new jerseay accent "Chalk-let" Yeah they just have "sweet tea" No poutine though, such a shame. Ask for fries and gravy and see the weird looks you get. I'm talking about Chery Pepsi, which is a very limited thing here, mountain dew with caffeine and strawberry crush! Cereal - Boo Berry, Penaut butter captain crunch, Cookies and cream etc! WHITE CASTLE there are many energy drinks in the USA that canada doesnt have (some of which are illigal to import) and I'm not sure if any of the following cereal are outside canada Count Chocula, Cap Crunch, Lucky charms, Cinamon toast crunch, Vector, Cinamon bear, oatmeal crunch Haha, ask for a Nestea and they ask you what flavour. Strangely enough I only had my first poutine a few years ago, but they certainly are easy to find around here. I guess the fancier pops are harder to find in Canada. Usually have to go to specialty shops or movie theatres to find them. Are they that commonplace down south? And I'm not a huge cereal fan, though. I probably wouldn't recognize most Canadian cereals. What's white castle? there are alot of import shops in canada, most at flea markets. one thing i found cool about them is that some things that you DO have within your own country are different than the ones outsied it. try eating an american Cadburry cream egg then eat a British one... the British one is so sweet my eyes watered and tongue dried out So… what's the ganja law situation in Canada? Medicinal i believe It is a burger restaurant chain...as seen in Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle France has a REstaruant called "Quick" that i wish exsisted in canada because they get awesome toys from what ive seen

I wish I could be like Andrew Zimmern and travel all over the world, sampling foreign cuisine and culture; the more uncommon/obscure the better.
