favorite things you'll miss from canada

Cheeze Whiz, now isn't it all made by Kraft? Why would there be different ingredients for it in the USA? I had some there, (on toast...be still my ) and it is NOT the same!

you'll find that a lot of the products that seem to have the same name and packaging are quite different here in the US than home. They use different ingredients here, and it all tastes different. Everything from ketchup to Mac & Cheese. Its all different

Cheese Nips are definitely not the same in the U.S. as they are in Canada. Didn't know about the Cheeze Whiz and the flour, though. Looks like my list is getting longer, too.

Cheese nips have always been better in the US.

People take their shoes off in the U.S. in places! It's a regional thing.

Things he will miss:

His cigarette brand. (Says he: 'Will make it easier to quit with those awful American smokes.')

The ability to get relatively inexpensive organic beef and buffalo from the co-op. Welcome to East Coast food prices and crappy beef!

Taber corn off the truck.

I miss Earl's and Joey's. I miss Banff and Kananaskis. Don't miss winter though.

Oh, and they don't have my favourite shampoo here.

I found perogies at Safeway and Walmart. They are not too bad.

What region would this walmart be in? That is the one thing Debi will miss the most when she gets back.

Right what I miss the most is Debi, but soon, very soon, this wait should be over!!

I miss brown oatmeal bread. I love that bread toasted.

I cant find onion bagels either.

I thought I would quit smoking once I got here, but I havent.

Took me about a month worth of headaches to find a brand that I can smoke.

There cheaper, thats the only good thing. Used to pay $11.00 for a pack, here a pay $3.69 a pac.

Same. They are so cheap I can justify it. I smoked Canadian Classic or Du Maurier. Now I am smoking Marlboro Mediums. I must have gotten used to the smell cuz I don't notice it.

Dramamine is different, doesn't work the same.

The active ingredient in both Gravol and Dramamine is Dimenhydrinate, they are both sold for use against nausea, dizziness, and vomiting. Gravol and Dramamine are just different brand names of the same drug (Dimenhydrinate). I often buy the Walgreens formula because it also has the same active ingredient and is cheaper.

But the fillers in them are different therefore it works differently.

...I cant find onion bagels either....

Every bagel place (such as Einstein's) sells these in DC-Balto area.

the only place I can find half decent bagels is Atlanta Bread Company. They're ok. And half an hour away, which is rather annoying.

Fillers are pharmaceutically inert, or else they'd be called active ingredients. Dimenhydrinate is what helps with the nausea, dizziness, and vomiting, not whatever is used to hold it in pill form. If you don't like Dramamine, then by all means, stock up on Gravol. I find them to be the same, and I just wanted to put that out there for anyone who cares to try it, or who finds themself in need when in the US. Just trying to be helpful!
