stock up before visiting the uk
#1
Following on from the thread about stocking up when returning to Canada, are there any Canadian items people take when returning or visiting the UK?
Over the counter/off the shelf drugs, for example.

I've taken back Paracetamol (or whatever it is called here) because they sell it in mega 100 tablet bottles here instead of the smaller packs you have to get in the UK.

Have sent back coffee flavourings and also mused about the big big big bottles of spirits along Cyans lines too!

I used to take back a load of Hershey's Smores bars but I couldn't find them for sale anywhere on my last trip
I brought some Nibs back last time, the long rope like ones. I know they're disgusting and contain nothing of any nutritional value whatsoever but I can't help myself with them...

I am only ever asked to take chewing gum back to the UK - sugar-free WinterFresh and cinnamon. Oh, and bloomin' Roots sweatshirts/t-shirts
