    "When you eat your Smarties, do you eat the red ones last ? Do you suck them very slowly, or crunch them very fast ? Eat that candy coated chocolate , but tell me when I ask, when you eat your Smarties do you eat the red ones last" ...this jingle is embedded in every Canadian of my generation.

They have it on the special menu at some of the Subway resturants but its just not the same as how its done in America. Also Canada does NOT have the Paqui One Chip Challenge. those things apparently cost like $10 in America and $100 in Canada.

    As for Ketchup chips, you can't get them in the U.S., in conventional grocery stores. Also, the best Ketchup chip brand is Old Dutch, also, it's a Canadian owned company and brand, wheras Lays is owned by Frito Lay, and is a U.S. Brand. For those with a dairy allergy, don't eat the Lays Ketchup chips, because they contain milk. Old Dutch is the way to go.

    Smarties used to taste better and be brighter colours but now there are no artificial colours and they don’t look or taste quite as good.

    Yes, us Canadians really love that even though the French population in Canada is less than ten percent one of our Prime Ministers decided that French should be the second language---- he was French, but surely that had nothing to do with it.
