    Smarties.

    I go to the states often...and that's the only thing I really can't find a equivalent for.

    I think they are called skittles in Canada but they are similar to m&ms here in the states? I always buy some of those when I go to Canada!

    No, those are called Smarties. :-)

    Caramilk bars. Kindersurprise eggs (though those might not make it across the border). Coffee Crisp.

    Actually skittles are different than smarties! Cdn kit kats are much better than US version. As a cdn i'm always excited to try things from the US as it takes super long for us to get them. Love my dulce de leche cheerios!:-)

    I've been able to find Coffee Crisp and crappy lays Dill Pickle in the import section of Wegmans. But nowhere in VA have I been able to find Ketchup! What brand and where?!

    There are other things but what I can think of doesn't ship well.

    Smarties in America = what we call Rockets in Canada. Also what A-holes give out on Halloween.

    I'm Canadian...how about an Inukshuk! (They are stone landmarks built by the Inuit of Arctic Canada. They are used for communication and survival). They come in many shapes and sizes, such as keychains, jewllery or figurines.

    The really REALLY big bottle of Bailey's. I'm from the US but in Toronto right now. Went to an LCBO the other day and almost cried at the size of the bottles you guys have here. I've never seen bottles that big.

    Omg this! I saw those bottles when I went to Winnipeg a few weeks ago. Holy hades I wish to the dear lord baby jesus that they sold them here. It was like 4 handles worth of liquor.

    Lays had ketchup chips for a while here in TX. Zapp's has a cajun dill chip that I like, not really Canadian though.

    Haha, they ended up growing on be, being a chubby girl in need of a sugar fix I would reluctantly eat them. But they'd always be the last in the bag! Other than those disgusting black and orange wrapped caramels. We'd just set those on fire! P.S I love your avatar, I totally wanted to order that shirt! Fave part of the movie!
