Recommend some American snacks that we can't get up here

[pope04]

Not recommended, but funny! My buddy went to Arizona and just got back yesterday. He had a tasty little bowl with jelly beans invitingly set out. I grabbed one and he snickered and asked me what it tasted like. It was black, so I thought it was licorice..........I got skunk spray instead. Bloody gross.

$100,000 bars and yes, goddammit, Cheez-its.

I could have swore I've Cheez-Its in stores up here.

Does anyone know if you can still get Dinosaur punch and coloured Oreo cookies in the States?

Some of my fave childhood memories that alas are too far gone

You can get orange Oreos during halloween. However, I'll have to check next time to see if there are coloured ones regularly available.

My vote for favorite snack is going to Chipotle, but I think I'm stretching the definition of "snack."

Worst part about US: No Coffee Crisp, no Oh Henry, no Chrunchie bar.

Oh Henry is the second-worst chocolate bar in the history of chocolate bars, behind only that hellspawn known as a Crispy Crunch.

Wow, you have serious Oh Henry hate. Why?

[Jordan!]

This is funny, I was once like you fols. Now everything you've posted I take for granted and it's no longer fun.

If I had to choose one thing that is amazing still to this day for me its this:



Tastes like Jones Cream Soda X1000

Also A&W Rootbeer in Canada is NOT real A&W Root Beer. But i'd trade the horrible A&W food down here for a ****ing Teen Burger.. or just go to Carls or In N Out

What I miss:

-Aero
-Canadian Kit Kat
-Coffee Crisp
-Eatmore
-Ketchup Chips
-Dill Pickle Chips
-White people Chinese food that doesn't suck (Ginger Beef)

This is weird, because almost every Canadian I know loves to hit up PF Changs down there (me included--those garlic noodles are the best)

you can get pastel colors in the spring .... and they now have vanilla oreos which are delicious. I used to love the oreos that were covered with white choc and regular chocolate.

Blah, it's just terrible. There are no redeeming qualities in the Oh Henry bar. There's a reason why they're the last to go from the Halloween candy bin.

In staying within the theme here a little bit, I stumbled across this Top 10 Candy Bar in the USA list.

Snickers
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Kit Kat
Butterfinger
Milky Way
3 Musketeers
Baby Ruth
M&Ms
Oh Henry!
Hershey Bar

Question, do we have Milky Way up here? I thought we did, but the ones I know don't sound like the description from that article.

Edit: Well nevermind. I just read it a second time. That description now applies to Mars Bars.

If I venture into a Superstore and fail to find this drink you speak of, you are in big trouble...

For a while they were selling the little 2oz bags at Mac's, but no more. Also, the only had the original, not the gift from the gods known as white cheddar.

Originally from the US here- and my sister sent me two three-pound boxes of Cheez-Its last summer. They didn't arrive in good shape, sadly.

Another thing: Sierra Mist. There's just something about it that I love.

And don't get me started on unsweetened iced tea...

I have to remind myself that universal health care and same-sex marriage, and the general lack of ultra right-wing nutcases, makes life better here, but when it comes to snacks, ohhhhh I miss home.

I totally googled white cheddar cheez-its and this is what I got:

There is a subtle difference between Mars and Milky Way. Close, but not exact.

When I think Milky Way, I think solid milk chocolate. That's what I seem to remember from my childhood. But that description made it sound so good.

My fav snack food from the 4 months I lived in San Jose.
