I'm not a huge connoisseur of Tequila, but I do enjoy it. All I know is that high end tequila you don't need lemon or lime afterwards and with Avion I definitely didn't need it. Found it very smooth.

Where can I find Schweppes Cream Soda?

Canadian Coke is already made with cane or beet sugar. There's no need to get Mexican Coke.

I never had mexican coke but american coke is terrible and definately different from the Canadian stuff.

Here's an off-the-board one:

Liquid Tiger Balm. it's a tad more potent than the normal cream, and works great on those sore muscles.

If you mean the green coloured Cream Soda, you can get that at T&T. It costs a little more but it is really tasty. Comes in a 1L bottle or in cans.

Reasonably priced cheese.

Can you guys get Fat Tire beer? I think its from Colorado. Can't find it in Ontario, I had it in South Carolina and it was great.

One thing we have better here, are Oreos.

The icing on American Oreo's has that chemically taste that generic Zellers and SAAN brand Oreos have.

Not here, but I always bring some back from the states when I go down.

So true. When I was living in Oklahoma City I was blown away by how inexpensive cheese was. It's like 1/3 the price.

So has anyone found Mexican coke in Calgary? I had it in L.A and I've craved it ever since. A buddy told me a place in Marlborough sells it so I'm going to check it out tomorrow and if true I'll post the location here.

Unimarket on 50th Ave SE (off Mcleod just past the train tracks) carries it. I buy a dozen every now and then.

Pretty sure this is wrong. Canadian coke is made with glucose-fructose sugar according to the ingredients.

Mexican coke uses the real cane sugar.

Nothing beats Colombian coke, though.

Good tequila goes down much smoother than any other, similar proof liquor. However I'm not sure I'd call patron that high end, it seems more and more to taste like Jose Cuervo over the years.

Yup.

Glucose-fructose is High Fructose Corn Syrup. Canadian Coke is made with it, and yes the Mexican stuff is much much better. Plus it comes in a glass bottle. Maybe it's my imagination, but the can and plastic bottles always seem to leave a taste in the coke, and the glass bottle just gives it that perfect temperature. You can find Canadian Coke in glass bottles, but its rarer and usually more expensive. If you're going to pay more, get the Mexican import.

Decent BBQ.

Coconut M&Ms - taste just like little baby Bounty bars, soooo good!



Also, if you see it, Frontera's Pineapple Chipotle BBQ sauce sounds amazing - get it & review for the rest of us please!

7-11 has coconut M&Ms. I didn't know that so I brought back a 24-pack from the Costco in Maui.

Just bought some of that Mexican coke from the unimarket. Man this stuff is great.

They've got the regular 335 ml? ones for $47 a case and the 500ml large bottles for $54 a case of 24. Much better value in the bigger bottles.
