Hey guys and gals, no this isn't some praise America thread, it's more or less just brings and interesting question to the fore front of my mind.

My dad is headed down across the 49th and asked me if there was anything he could pick me up while he was away, only catch was it had to be only available in America, since the dollar is in great condition right now I don't mind asking for something and I'm pretty sure that's why he offered

But i was wondering , what are some cool things you can get down there but not up here , something for someone between the age of 16-19 , and maybe to make this thread worth something , why do you think said object is not available in Canada ? Different laws ? Demand ?

But Thanks for the suggestions in advanced and hopefully I've left some room to make this thread an some what intresting read.

seriously though, there's nothing I can think of that I want that I can't get here . . . chocolate bars or candy would probably be all I can think of.

Theres the standard CP first response!!

Umm, if you smoke he can get you Marlboroughs. If you drink beer, he could get you a case of Coors Original (not light) which you cant get in Canada (something to do with pasteurization I think) which is pretty good.

Fireworks?

Indeed, Fat Tire and his brother Blue Moon are great choices!

Can't get Big Rock down here either. Anyone want to set up a trade??
