I have to agree that it is wrong to compare crunchie to butterfingers....they are nothing alike.

I really want to try toffee crisps now. That sounds so good.

another blonde: reese witherspoon

or victoria beckham like mentioned.....

If you have a Costco card, you can enter the Canadian Costcos...so you can buy everything in bulk! Unfortunately, they do not have everything as they are not really Canadian like Shoppers or Superstore/Loblaws/No Frills (only place to get PC stuff).

I don't see how the government is telling people what to do. As many of the annoyed people here have pointed out, they will eat what they want regardless of the calorie count. In a nanny state, you won't be allowed to do that. You have the choice to make your own decision but at least it is a more informed decision. At Starbucks, it did make me think about whether I really needed a Grande or would a Tall have been enough when I saw the calorie counts.

The Starbucks and McDonalds I've visited in the Seattle region have the calorie counts on the menus (so far no franchises have closed because of this!). I don't find it that distracting even though I'm not used to seeing it in Canada. The majority of people in the world have the capability to read a menu with a few more numbers and words. It's not like a Starbucks or McDonald's menu was so complicated to begin with (certainly no Tolstoy novel...please don't insult Tolstoy by comparing it to a ~20 items drink menu). Plus putting the calorie values isn't that many extra words. It wouldn't even add a page to one of those menu books you get at some chain restaurants. (e.g. "3000 Cal" = 8 characters include the space).

I think it is weird that Canada is beside the US but we have a lot of the UK snacks that people have listed. Flakes, Aero and Crunchie bars? That's normal stuff to me.

i love canadian kit kat but the best are the japanese ones. They have different versions of green tea kit kat because there are different kinds of green tea. And some are seasonal. That blew my mind. mmmm and the pudding one. so good.

this is one of those rare times when I actually miss Toronto.

It's not unique....there is Japadog just 3 hours north in Vancouver which has been around for years. Japadog is not original either, they have these hot dog stands in Japan too.

I am looking forward to trying it next time I am shopping in Seattle. Hopefully it is as tasty as a Japadog.

I like instant coffee from Asia. They used to be really crappy but now they are a lot better. I prefer Korean brands but Nescafe from China is really good. There's not strong coffee culture in East Asia, probably due to tea but their instant stuff is enjoyable for what it is. Most Asian supermarkets carry these.

Just beware that there are a few laggard brands that are still bad. I don't even know their brands, just the packaging.

address and improve on the issues causing the negative review? Unless the person constantly gives bad reviews for everything, there's at least some truth in what they write.

you guys realize most people who order these drinks (e.g. my coworkers, boyfriend, sister) are looking for something sweet with a bit of caffeine kick. They do not actually want coffee. My boyfriend likes extra extra caramel on his caramal macchiato. My sister actually said, I like starbucks but not coffee. LOL And she doesn't like clothes shopping so I'm convinced we're not related.

Myself, I always get every single seasonal drink once and only once. But they are all too sweet in its original form. Tips: get less pumps or pay for an extra shot of espresso. It's easier but more expensive to order an extra shot. I think the taste is better with less pumps rather than extra shot but its more complicated to say. Another alternative is to get a short which has less milk to dilute the espresso.

I stopped caring about eating primarily locally when I realised I can't have bananas, oranges, avocados, mangos and wheat. These are just some examples of how eating locally doesn't always make sense. Also doesn't make sense to eat locally at all if you live in Toronto in the winter.

Also, you can't really make the corn cookies or blueberry cream cookies as they have some sort of powder/chemical used in them that make them so addicting (or gives that texture or something). I'm sure I can order that powder stuff online and make it myself but it'll come in a big bag and there's shipping on that too. I wantedto buy the cookies but no shipping to Canada. Too bad!
