It is a well known fact that Canada has the most lovely fedex employees: http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/6465/ (If the link doesn't work, you can read about it here)

I think I would rather hear "UH-HUH" than "no problem" ... I couldn't give a E36 M3 less if it's a problem or not for you ... as Trans_Mario said... the correct answer is "you're welcome" ...

on the rare occasion that I get a waitress/waiter that says "you're welcome" as opposed to "no problem" I tend to double the the tip I was going to leave

I really can't believe this has gone on for 6 pages.

Not a problem.

What if we say "Not a problem, thank you."?

PM me your address, you grumpy old bugger. I'll mail you a bag of lime and black pepper chips, and you will change your mind.

I've never encountered the Worsteshershireiere chips, but would happily accept a sample...

Walker's aren't Canadian. They are a great gift to world cuisine from Britain.

There are some words up there that do not belong in the same sentence.

Funny, no-one has mentioned Canada's "special" little brother, Newfoundland..

Some things just don't need to be said.

This is why I love this forum. And did you see the Roast Chicken flavor?? There's Smokey Bacon and Prawn, too.

Finally, I can stop wearing black in mourning for Bacon-Flavored Thins, those genius Nabisco crackers that went away years ago. Thank you!

No,no,no. THESE are smarties.

Dem buggers has all come west to Fort MacNewfie fer da oil work, by jaysus.

So smarties in Canada are just differently colored M&Ms?

We have much to learn about your people.

No wonder you people are confused.

Different kind of chocolate with a weaker shell, and the dye has a melting point of approximately 1 degree above ambient. You end up quite colourful. Did the US ever get the "melts in your mouth, not in your hands" commercials for M&Ms?

Canadian Coke is made with cane sugar, too. Tastes more like the Mexican stuff. Great when ice cold, not so good when warm. But don't think you'll ever find fountain drinks at a gas station, so no ice for you.

Did you know that Canadian Miatas have a temperature gauge that sits just above centre? The US ones sit just under center. The cars run at the same temp. My theory is that Canadians are afraid of freezing to death while Americans are scared of overheating.

I have trained my wife. She knows what Rockets are.

Also not present in the US. Thank goodness.

In reply to Trans_Maro:

Yeah but our smarties were first, and they call them rockets there so you guys don't confuse them with your funny nestle m&ms.

We have this too:

All I know about Canada I learned from Trailer Park Boys.
