Stuff You Cannot Get in Canada

[jkflames]

How has no one mentioned Golden Corral or Raspberry Iced Tea yet? Two staples I have to have every time I`m in the States!

I am new to Calgary where would these latin markets be?

i really don't know why Coke and Pepsi don't have a cane sugar version as a permanent product in Canada and the US. Pepsi Classic sold like crazy when they had it available, and everyone i know wanted a Coke version as well. charge more for it, i don't care. i just want it available

If you find it Paladium- please let me know. I know of a couple of places that sell 355 ML bottles of Coke; however it is Canadian Coke and not Mexican.

I can't confirm this myself, but I was told Tubby Dog serves the glass bottle Mexican coke.

Pepsi Throwback made with real sugar is still sold in the US. According to Wikipedia it's still sold in Canada as well, but I'm not sure about that.

They had Mexican Coke when I went last month.

If anyone has any stocked up, Trader Joe's has recalled some of their peanut butter after 29 people in 18 states have gotten sick with salmonella: http://www.courier-journal.com/artic...nclick_check=1

Have you guys tried Unimarket? I believe there are two locations. My parents go to the one near Edmonton Trail NE.

I just drove by the candy store on 10th St in Kensington and they had Cherry Coke in the window.

And to add to this (I think I've stated this multiple times in this very thread) you can add the Vanilla or Cherry Coke syrup to 7-11 gulps, at least on any of the new machines. Lemon as well. Tastes exactly the same.

One on 17th Ave SW by UNA across from Western Canada High School as well has it in the window.

So I am going to Montana next weekend. Searched this thread out as I used to monitor it. Found some really good tips here in the past, but, I see the thread dropped off nearly a full year ago. Anyone have any new products to watch for? Thanks!

I went in there- they want $15 per case.

- Mexican Coke in Costco or Safeway. (Costco is cheaper.)
- I picked up a bunch of different flavours of Bull's Eye BBQ sauce.
- I also bought a whole bunch of Quaker Oatmeal to go bars. They have some different flavours than here; including apple cinnimon and Banana Bread. The key difference is the ones down there are chewey.

Hasn't Canadian Coke always contained real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup? Why drink Mexican Coke when you can buy regular Canadian Coke in a glass bottle? The American Coke just contains that because of the huge government subsidies on Corn in the U.S.

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

Avion tequila from Entourage is now available in Alberta.

I had some brought in from Ontario a little over a year ago, but I seen it on a shelf in Calgary a week ago.

I'd be curious to know where you got that information from; H&L.

Honest question, between other high ends like Patron and Don Julio, is it better? The fact it was on Entourage is a massive turn off, despite me being a fan of the show. I am curious if it is good stuff though.
