Default Recommend some American snacks that we can't get up here

So now that I've found my maple candy, my friend who's moved down south has offered to send some candy up from the states in exchange. (I am so holding this candy hostage right now.) Recommend some good snacks that they have down there that we can't get. Thanks guys!

Ranch Doritos? As in Cool Ranch Doritos? If so, you're not looking hard enough.

Try leaving the house

I like Panda Express - take-out chinese food. I found it better than just about any chinese food I've had here.

Oh, and another thing. They have wayyyy more choice in salad dressings down there.

After I've gotten my sample pack from my friend, I'll see what I like and maybe we can make out a deal.

Chinese food can't be shipped, and I'm also Chinese, nothing beats home cooked.

Those Payday bars. So good, kind of like a Nut Roll. If anyone knows if anywhere in Calgary sells these things, please let me know!

I agree with you - nothing beats home cooked, but, for someone who is not Chinese and doesn't cook Chinese food, Panda express is very good.

Payday bars are awesome!!

Only place I have seen them in Alberta are the candy store in Banff.
They are delicious!

That's the good stuff. Other than that I can't think of anything you need from the states. Also, please send Aero Bars and Coffee Crisps. PM for address.
