To ye Northern Neighbors,

I recently got a gift package from a friend in Canada, with some fairly specifically Canadian items (Coffee Crisp, Smarties, Cheezies, Lush). I want to reciprocate, and get something for her... But, what nice little items can you get in the US that you can\'t get in Canada? We ship our shit EVERYWHERE!

Help!

List of Possible Items:

Butterfinger
Starbursts
Skittles
Heath Bars
Andes Mints
Whoppers (malted milk balls)

I live in the Midwest, so, I don\'t have access to any of the uber-american stuff they sell at the coasts.

well what cant you get in canada that you can here?

and you could get some info from docter cossac he is from canada.

Wait a minute ..they don\'t sell Smarties and Coffee Crisp in the United States?

It is abit difficult to answer your question. Seeing as I don\'t live in the United States and haven\'t been there since I was six, I really have no clue of what kinds of things they even sell there.

The first things that come to mind on my part are Dove bars and Nutter Butters. Though, the former might be a little hard to send.

A shirt that says.
\"I new york\"

eh? Whadd\'ya think?

Mm, I wasn\'t being clear Doctor; by Dove bars, I didn\'t mean the soap, but the ice cream bar.

Unless you didn\'t misinterpret me at all and I simply can\'t seem to find any.

We have Smarties in America, but they\'re small, sugary candies in a roll.. Little pastel discs. Different colors, different flavors.. I like the white ones. They\'re called \"Rockets\" in Canada, I think..

Shadowfire, I know that Canada doesn\'t have Cinnamon Teddy Grahams...or Blue Raspberry Tropicana Twister..

Coffee Crisp sounds disgusting by the way, no offense.

EDIT: Canada seems to have alot of Nestle and Cadbury stuff..so why not give her/him a Hershey bar or two? And should give her one of our Cadbury bars..our Cadbury\'s don\'t taste the same as theirs, supposedly.. Our KitKats aren\'t the same as theirs, either. Anything under the Hershey label is a definite US brand, so you can give her/him any of that and it\'ll taste different..

What about a rising obesity rate? I don\'t think Canada has one of those. You could have ours.

If it makes any difference, my friend lives in Victoria.. X3 and, thanks for all the suggestions!

How about Symphony bars? Nerds?

Ah just give an apple pie and be cliche.

Symphony bars are Hershey, come in beige-ish wrappers.. Have toffee and stuff in them, as big as a Cadbury bar.

Cadbury sells Fruit & Nut, Roasted Almond, and Dairy Milk bars. Their chocolate isn\'t as shitty as Hershey\'s is, even though they still do make their chocolate taste nasty for the american market since we\'re raised on nasty chocolate and would most likely get offended by something that actually tasted good.
