Hey all, I am going back to Canada (Ontario) this weekend on my AP and I am trying to think of some cool things to bring back with me to show everyone here in the US.

After talking to my mother-in-law today, we established Nutella and ketchup chips are a must.

I don't want to spend a fortune, but can you think of anything else, small, that would be good to bring here that they don't have in the US?

Oh, add to that a coffee crisp.

I want to bring a little care package of foods they don't have. I only want to spend about $20 though.

What do you guys think are the best things??

Thanks

Definately things they don't have....Smarties, ketchup or all dressed chips, wine gums, macintosh toffee (the stuff in slab form).....

"Let your legs carry your body and your heart carry your dreams."

June 19th, 2006 - I129-F sent via Fedex (courtesy of my Honey's work) to arrive using next day delivery

Mid- July - Found out I129-F never left his company but is lost there.....need to gather and try again

August 2006 - Still waiting...maybe not the I-129F route anymore

My husband [Canadian] wanted me to add Nanaimo bars. I've had them before... they're pretty good.

Also, there is a candy in the US called Smarties... but after talking to my husband, it sounds like the US smarties is different from the Canadian smarties. Oh, and nutella is technically a German thing... i still like it though! :)
