Treats from Canada!

rustypouch · 23rd May 2012, 08:13 AM

So far, the plan is for me and a friend to drive down.

Because of this, we'll have some room to take stuff.

Are there any requests for anything Canadian that is not obtainable in the States?

MG1962 · 23rd May 2012, 08:17 AM

Beer

Rasmus · 23rd May 2012, 08:19 AM

Universal and affordable health insurance?

The Central Scrutinizer · 23rd May 2012, 08:21 AM

Back bacon and tuques, eh?

Moss · 23rd May 2012, 08:24 AM

Hokulele · 23rd May 2012, 09:31 AM

Guttersluts.

NewtonTrino · 23rd May 2012, 09:33 AM

You can't go wrong with ketchup chips.

NoahFence · 23rd May 2012, 09:34 AM

Frosted Frog - from Nova Scotia. Haven't seen a lick of it since my honeymoon 'cuz it's a micro-brew beer. Tasty!

bumlet5 · 23rd May 2012, 12:19 PM

From which part of Canada are you coming?

Yes, there's the cold part, the other cold part, and the colder, lonely part.

Caffeine-free Mountain Dew!

Canadian women.

More than one.

rustypouch · 23rd May 2012, 01:38 PM

Well, I'm coming down from Calgary.

I doubt I could find a microbrew from NS out here, but there are some tasty local ones I could bring.

There's also various flavours of chips; ketchup, bacon, all dressed...

Or I could bring some clamato.

A friend of mine has requested Ketchup Old Dutch.

ETA: And Coffee Crisp.

Are these the same as ketchup-flavored chips? If so, don't bother -- they're here.

I refuse them for the same reason I refuse vanilla ice cream. These are insults to the notion of flavor.

Jeez... what a mook.

Bring enough sealed made by hand 's, and you'd finance your trip.

Battman · 26th May 2012, 08:41 AM

Stuff your trunk full of Cheezies.

Luciana · 27th May 2012, 06:31 AM

Hey, rusty, me! Maple syrup, now and always.

We don't have those here. What is it you'd like from Rio?

I keep reading the thread title as "Threats from Canada". I demand threats!
