Being a diabetic, it always pisses me off when I'm in the USA and see how much more they have to chose from when it comes to sugar free / no sugar added food stuffs.

Whenever I come back from the States, I always bring back a few bottles of this... can't get anything like it here in Canada.

I know this is a thread for things you can't get here. A couple of years ago i had some billets stay at my place and they were really interested in Ketchup chips as they didn't have them and i don't think they have them today.

In lots of parts of China you get take out soup in a bag. Always kind of grossed me out a bit when you can see all the stuff floating in there. Lots of soups look appealing from the top as they have this golden layer of oil floating up there, but underneath they are just a murky greyish brown.
Looks like a bag of swamp water.

My cousins from Houston love that shat... I can prob eat about 3 ketchup chips a year.

On the other hand, I love the unique flavours they have down there, so I guess the lesson is that you always want what you can't have!

I had Chipotle in Toronto earlier today and I was not impressed. Don't see what is so special about it. It's not much better than the Calgary tex-mex like Mucho Burrito. And for over $9 for a weak burrito? Come on.

When I went to Chipotle in Phoenix, the burrito they handed me was like a small baby. I'd say almost twice the size as what I've gotten from Mucho up in Beacon Hill...

Love this alot, It's an energy powder that you mix with water (way cheaper then buying energy drinks as you get 2 servings from a tube which work out to $1 a tube.

i have tried most of the things listed. while there are some things that are exclusive to regional markets, most are way overrated or just plain crap.

from my side of the fence, what you have have is 'better' than what i have. you are not missing much. you just think it is 'better' because you are unable to get it every day.

The REAL cocoa krispies. Not the ####ty kind that has been sold in Canada a couple times.

This, my friends, is breakfast ambrosia. (it's also a great way to give yourself the diabetuhs)

^ that stuff is excellent for mixing with liquor. I have heard that you can just add some vanilla extract to regular Coke for the same effect.
