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:
I took me a long time before I understood why Janel gave me a blank look when I referred to KD. I brought some back for her on my last trip.
And a REAL Canadian buys their maple syrup in a can, right from the sugar shack.
We have Kraft Dinner.
Not sure why you guys call it "Macaroni and Cheese". It's nothing like real mac & cheese.
Anything made by Kraft is nasty, you can keep it.
So while looking for more food names to rile our Canadian brethren to more passive aggressiveness I ran across this.

According to this article Lay's dill pickle chips are Canada only. I beg to differ.
A) I've eaten Lay's dill pickle chips and I've never been to Canada.
B) I'm pretty sure anything dill pickle flavored (notice I spelled it correctly) was invented in the south.

Yessir, seen and eaten those down here in the Durty Durty South for years.
We have fried dill pickles down here too, at least further inland:
Had them once, damn they good. No one around here does them, though.

Yeah, so you got ridges on yer noodles. Down here that means a quick appointment with an overpriced 'Murican doctor.

You can still get Bacon flavoured crackers up here (notice the extra "u" - you missed it)!
America beats Canada on the strange food list. I've never met anyone in my country who eats pickled pigs feet.
Y'all got some issues south of the border.
Stop eating the parts of food that aren't food.

Sorry but, Pickled Pork Hocks - I've had them as a kid. I don't eat them, but I have eaten them.

That's just the pic. The KD noodles don't have ridges.
Back on topic - what does it say about Bobzilla if he finds Canadians abrasive?
I'm voting this thread up. Friggin' hilarious.

Yes you do have KD... but Read This Most Canadians dont even know this J.L. KRAFT is Canadian!!!!
Most people probably don't want to sell to Canadians because they try to pay with Monopoly money. Yellow and Pink currency? Seriously? Money is supposed to be green.

We have green. And it's plastic. And see-through.
Hey, the old bat on your so called money is still alive. Plus she doesn't even really run your country.
Down here we call money 'dead Presidents', you'd have to call yours 'live Queens'.
Damn y'all weird.
Yeah... why is the queen of england on Canadian money?

Just FYI, the Walker's Prawn Cocktail crisps are not flavored after what we think of as prawn cocktail. The Brits do prawn cocktail with a mayo based sauce.

Having the Queen as our Head of State isn't really that confusing, is it?
No more so than us speaking and writing proper English, rather than American?

Don't play that game with the yanks, just because they have little imagination doesn't make them right.
