super amazing canadian extravaganza
Posted on October 16th, 2008 in tales from the world food aisle, stuff from other countries, fast food, candy
last weekend i took a short-lived trip to canada. here are things about canada that you will be happy to know:
canadians buy milk in a bag (but also in cartons..which more people appeared to be buying, despite the fact that there was three times as much bagged milk.)
canadian mcflurries are better than american mcflurries (especially the kit kat variety). other varieties at mcdonald’s in windsor included rolo and smarties.

canadians eat poutine, even at burger king
the candy at the checkout (known to the canadians at the real canadian superstore as a “till”) is totally different and way better than any snickers and crunch bar mumbo jumbo you might find here in the states. no one seems to be as fascinated by this amazing foreign checkout-candy phenomenon as me, but i will always find it to be amazing.
canadians have these, and you don’t. (but i do because i bought a bag of each)
also it appears as if candians bag their own groceries, and push around funny looking shopping carts (which i sadly do not have a photo of.)
in conclusion: canada rules.
