I know it's not a word, but it's a thing that's different here: Bread ties... I actually just emailed my mom to get me some bread bag and/or milk bag tabs to bring down, because all the bread here is tied with twist ties! (not a fan....) That's probably a regional thing, but what a funny thing to miss from home!

Also, someone sent me a link on facebook talking about US milk and the BGH in it, said that Walmart's Great Value label doesn't use it, so if you worry about that stuff here because it's not banned here like it is in Canada, that might make things happier for you like it did me! Is there a link somewhere on here about food additives in US food, and alternatives to it? I know that there's a lot more here than in Canada, and don't want to only buy organic till I am working!

I think wearing outside shoes indoors is kinda gross. I'm sure the people who do it haven't given a thought as to what could be tracked into their house on the soles of their footwear. Petroleum pro

There is a website called fooducate with a blog that's very interesting. They also have an app in the US where you can scan a barcode and it'll help you figure out what is in your product and give you an option for a better for you product.

I found the website linked when reading a news article on "blueberries" that are in some food - oil, food colour & sugar blobs. :wacko:

I wrote a paper for school on this very subject. About how food in the US is filled with additives and ####### and my insight on the better quality of food and selection in Canada.

Future hubby texted me yesterday as he was grocery shopping because he saw the "New" Hershey Air Delight. He thought it was funny because he liked the Aero bar when he was here and took a couple home with him (although Coffee Crisp was his favourite). Anyone try it yet?
