Ketchup flavored chips. Alot of different brands make them but the Lays ketchup chips are the best. I wish we had them here. Whenever I'm in Canada I always bring like 5 bags back with me.

It's a strip club right over the border. I believe it's in Niagara Falls, Canada. A lot of college students used to go there on the weekends. From what I've heard, it was naked men on one floor and naked women on another. So, I guess you could take and date and then meet up with them after the show. lol

Pathetic. Totally pathetic. So far chips w/ ketchup, a candy bar and a strip club is what's to love about Canada.

Where are the Canadian posters who continually bash on the US and or Drew Bledsoe. *Couph Mr. Chimp, Shiva couph couph**. If you showed even a quarter of the passion for your own country as you do ours your post wouldn't seem so slanted.

Those gravy fries are pretty good, as is the view of the Falls. Not to mention the fur under the arms of your women and also your rail system.

Ummmm.. fur?!?! You must be mistaken.. we're talking Canada.. not France.. women here take care of themselves.. where did that come from anyway?

I really like Roots.. they have nice things.. most of the stuff has the Canadian leaf on it.. :)

I like the outdoor skating rinks.. people playing hockey at all hours of the day.. I like going to Wonderland in the summer..

The Cottages up in Muskoka are the place to be in the summer.. they have Wakestock.. which is an awesome event..

Most of the stuff in Canada is the same as in the US.. not too much of a difference.. but I'm not totally sure of all the things the US has so I can't comment on everything.. I know that Canada has everything I could ever want or need..

I know is that Canada is a great place.. with nice people.. stores and things to do..

I'm with you on ROOTS clothing bironsgirl43. We used to have a ROOTS store in a mall in Troy Michigan but it closed down.

Whoever put ketchup chips down has either never had any or dosen't know good taste. Those are the best chips ever.

Ketchup flavored chips are the grossest thing I have ever tasted. Hopefully they keep them in Canada. Good things about Canada, um, Labatt Blue comes from Canada, so that is good. I got a question, if I order Bacon in Canada, do I get Canadian bacon or real bacon? Oh yeah, casino Niagara is 100 times better then the Seneca's casino.

February 17th, 2003, 10:17:39 PM
if you order bacon you get normal stripped bacon, What you guys call "Canaadian bacon" we call Peameal bacon.

Ketchup Chips are great! Some smaller off-brands exist here in the States that have ketchup chips. Coffee Crisp is sometimes available here too, but I prefer Aero Bars (especially the mint kind) which are unfortunately NOT available. BTW it is stupid that Canadian Mountain Dew has no caffeine. What would be the point of drinking it then?

who told you that? Canadian mountain dew tastes fine to me and i never heard of it having no caffeine.

I think he's right. I think we have some silly law that "clear" beverages be caffiene free. I don't know if it's true, i just heard that somewhere.
