Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Oh, you can get trotters. I had them inflicted on me at a New Year's dinner in QC a couple of years back. Fortunately I was pissed.

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Pissed as in:

1. 'merican meaning - angry?
2. British meaning - drunk as a Lord?

or

3. Both (including urinating on yourself)?

Enquiring minds want to know. ;)

Shit-faced. I hadn't intended to drink at all but the six-fingered inbreds comprising the entirety of the party apart from me had other ideas.

I will look today and report back! ;)

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

They're available pretty much everywhere in the US - small shops, large shops, everywhere pretty much, so I'd be surprised if they've not made it over the border....

Just don't check the calorie count :sneaky:

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

I went to my local Thrifties and didn't see any Pretzel Combos. I will keep looking. I have to keep looking, damn you! :frown:

:p

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

I'm surprised.....

If you can't find them, sounds like you need an incursion across the border :D

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Pretzel Combos

I've had them from 7-11.

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Baked beans and orange squash.
I always have a suitcase full when I head back to Victoria!

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Our local Brit shop sell Robinsons juice 'under the counter'. I always feel like some sort of drug dealer when I go to get some:rofl:

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

I was never realy a great squash drinker.

Whats Squash got that either kool-aid or those frozen punch drinks doesnt?

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Personally I find it much more tasty, and it doesn't have the 10 cups of sugar that kool aid has! It's nice because it's a lot cheaper than juice as well. Just my taste!

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Not that I drink Koolaid (more of a kids drink) but it comes as a powder you put the sugar in so it doesn't have to be 10 cups.;)

As for taste I can't say I care for it. :p

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

Kool aid only has as much sugar as I choose to add to it...that a great advantage as a parent.


I find orange juice made fresh from frozen concentrate has much more orange flavour than any squash. At $1.50 a jug its hardly breaking the bank either.

Re: What you can't get in Canada
 

I didn't drink much of it either, and Jr certainly didn't... but the obvious advantage is the fact that it's done on a glass by glass basis, can be weak for one, stronger for the next. And of course the availability of sugar-free stuff.

My kid does get the odd glass of sugar-free Crystal Light (shops own sugar-free brand I mean!) here, but it's a pain making up the whole 2quarts just for 1 cup, the remainder gets forgotten about and then thrown out. And I'm far too mean to buy the "singles" to solve that one ;)
