It is funny you say Ketchup chips I always have some on hand for when my SO has visited and I am planning a trip there for Easter and already have bought some to take down to him. I know I am going to miss many things I can't get so I will be making a trip to the gocery store and packing a box of things I can't get there before I do move...

There's a pinned thread up top...there's links that take you to sites where you can order your canadian favourites. I'm the USC and I'm going to miss Ted D'Eon's Rappie Pies....sigh....

Timmy's aren't everywhere in Ohio. I am SW of Cleveland and there are none here. My fiance is majorly bummed. A few times he flew down here he brought his own Timmy's. We are hoping that they make there way north from Columbus or East from Toledo.

He is also going to miss his Slurpee's! He couldn't believe there was no 7-11's near me. He was quite devastated! We have Circle K though and they are now owned by Mac's so I guess he will survive! :lol

Oh and I almost forgot. I love those Old Dutch potato chips. I am the USC but dang those are good. Yum! All Dressed is my favorite. Grrrrrrr!!! You can't order them to be delivered to the states. Its the only brand you can't have delivered. It figures!

I am leaving for BC in 3 days. Will have a suitcase full on my way back.....j/k :P

I agree, Lay's Ketchup are definitely the ones to go for!

And, MarilynP, All Dressed? Is that really not available either? I was trying to think if I'd had them when I lived in Texas, but I can't recall at all. The only other flavour I remember specifically having issues with was Dill Pickle, though sometimes that one did show up. Ketchup was the only one that just wasn't ever around :D

yeah, I know you can order from those sites but what I am talking about is that most of those chips are not available in the stores here in the United States....

It costs an arm and a leg for shipping with those sites too :whistle:
