Canadian Tang is also different from the American Tang. The American Tang is much sweeter (ie. better).

Yes, I've always found that the Tang you get when traveling is always a little sweeter than what you can get at home.

I know taco bell doesn't have fries supreme in the states. I've also heard that the cheesy gordita crunch is a special item that's only available from time to time

Decent Corn Pops. The ones in the States are gross, for some reason they don't have that good sugary taste to them, and they're a weird shape.

The BBQ sauce at McDonalds. It just doesn't taste that good in the states. I love the sauce here... so good.

Not sure if it classifies as food, but whatever, it's a good snack once in a while.

Other than ginger beef, is there anything non-junk food?

I'm pretty sure KD is a Canadian thing. Oh sure, they have Mac and Cheese down there, but not KD.

Canadian Smarties are like M&M's but SOOOOO much better. THicker and better tasting candy shell.

Now you can sometimes find Canadian smarties at stores along the border but certainly don't find them where i am.

edit: I see I responded too quickly and the smartie thing was cleared up. Serves me right for not reading the whole thread before responding.

I have some friends in California, and I was floored to learn that they never heard of them. Then again, their grocery stores are filled with stuff we do not get up here. They had a whole aisle for twinkie-related junk food, and the superstore I go to has a shelf. (twinkies make me want to puke anyway) Not to mention all the different pops they get down there.
There is a huge surprise...

Although, I didn't make you for a spitter.
