I was looking back over these posts and was thinking about Smarties..Here in the States, Smarties are what you call Rockets in Canada, and I find it interesting that the Smarties sold in the States, that you know as Rockets, are actually made in Canada....

I find the milk expire date is short too.

I have seen some milk down here that would currdle your stomach.

We looked yesterday which was the 1st. The exire date was for the 7th........this was on all the milk in the store. I aint buying milk that expires in 6 days.

For those looking for Dream Whip. I work for the company which produces the Dream Whip packaging for both Kraft and Kraft Canada. Believe me when I tell you, we are producing millions of bags of that product for both countries. It's readily available here in the States.....

Really? I guess maybe Stop and Shop just sucks. I've been to two of them, and neither carried it, and at both, the stock person I spoke to insisted it didn't exist in the USA. Hmm....maybe if I can find another store that carries it I can still make my husband that cake before I head back to the Great Not-So-White-this-winter-North.

Thanks for the info!

As a USC that was living in Ontario for a year and currently engaged to a fine young Canadian gal(David and Karen), I'm surprised none of you have mentioned Dare's Maple cookies.... I miss those things...It's funny, I found some at one of the local grocery stores here in Missouri and didn't pick any up thinking I would grab them all on my next trip, sadly I haven't seen them since

And as far as your milk is concerned, what the hey is up with those screwy plastic bags anyway? I'll take a big old plastic jug I can screw the lid off of and gulp it down anyday of the year!!!

We have the Dare Maple cookies in constant supply at our local grocery store along with those Lemon Creme cookies and Chocolate Fudge ones also made by Dare. I can eat any three of them; my husband loves the Lemon Creme and in fact we have a package in our cupboard now as I speak (type).

Oops I forgot to add - this in the State of Idaho. Who would have ever thought.

hmmm, been away a few days... just a note on the gravol; dramamine is not the same and does not work anywhere near as well. I have tried many different kinds of alternatives but gravol is the only thing that works for me. (heehee... and my husband now -- even though I am the one moving, I'll make a Canadian out of him yet!

Oh, and has anyone been able to find mango sherbert in the US? The President's Choice brand is awesome but haven't found any in Upstate New York.

I found that out at Christmas when I had smarties and rockets in the kids stockings! LOL It was so funny!

When I go to the grocery store tonight, and I come back with bags of Dare cookies, I blame Cdnwmn!

ooo ooo ooo....i found the recipe for rappie pie on the food network the other day....siiiiigh...that and poutine. methinks poutine won't be hard to duplicate here...oh and donair sauce...i dunno if i can duplicate that.

Karen, a friend of mine at home makes donair sauce all the time. She actually makes the meat too. Not as good, but tastes alright. Next time I call her I will get the recipe for you to try.

No Need to guess!

And for those who keep telling us to look in the "Larger stores like Albertsons" All we have is Stop&Shop, they are the biggest chain in the North East. They have a 275 stores compared to Albertson's who has 2500 or something. They are a two bit player who should be wiped off the face of the planet if you ask me. All of the other chains here are puny too. Theres very little innovation in grocery here. Cant even get creamed chipped beef! What up with that???
