Have you seen this video? I'm a Canadian bee and thought it was funny, I didn't know you Americans didn't have all dressed chips!
Good for a Saturday morning laugh.

Haha, "I can feel the cavities forming in my teeth." I want to try maple sugar candy.
-
LOL! The nanaimo bar reactions:
"This is like square diabetes"
"When you have free healthcare you can eat whatever you want"
"This would taste fantastic after a breakup"Bahaha
-
@swedishfish: You should. I should send you a box. Sweet, cavity-forming goodness.
And in return, you can send me a bag of those magical unicorn Honey BBQ chips!
-
I love nainamo bars! There's a good recipe on allrecipes!
I love everything bagels, I have a feeling all dresses chips would be my kryptonite
-
@PermaStudent: deal! I have a feeling the chips wouldn't do well in transport though.
-
I had Garlic Bread Lays chips the last time I was in the USA and they were SO SCRUMPTIOUS. Also your Kit Kats are better.
But Canadian Oreos are a gazillion times more delicious.
-
@Charm54: What?? I love American Oreos...I can't imagine them better!
-
This is hilarious!! Also I want to try everything they did!!
-
I am an American but I had poutine when we visited Montreal a few years ago. It's heavenly! The rest of the stuff I've never had or heard of.
-
'Square diabetes' ahaha. Love it.
I'm willing to send maple sugar candy to anyone who sends me a case of Almond Joy haha. And Honey BBQ Fritos. -
I eat poutine all the time in the USA! But what the heck are dressed chips? I still don't get it haha, are they just flavored chips?
-
Haha the only one we have around here are the maple candies (in New England). They really are insanely sweet.
-
@KelLeeLeee: all dressed chips, are like all the flavours on the chips, ketchup and BBQ and cheese....they kinda taste like a variety of BBQ....they are my fave!
Maple candy is he best! Expensive though, I don't buy it very often
, @Charm54: garlic bread chips!?!? We miss out on all the good flavours here in canada! Dh is going on a work trip to Greenville next week, maybe I'll ask him to bring him some chips as a souvenir for me!
-
haha this is awesome
-
@KelLeeLeee: all-dressed chips are like everything bagels. They're like 'every flavour' chips. So delicious.
-
@Mrsk: me too on the all dressed chips! Have you tried them with "hell of a dip" ( I have no clue how it is spelled so I'm going with the phonetic way ha ha! )
Heaven I tell you, absolute heaven!
-
@Mrs. Tea: that Heluva(?) dip is seriously the best thing ever. With any chip...but plain ruffles are the best.
-
@Mrs. Oatmeal: You have to have the dip with Mrs. Vickie's Jalapeno chips...it's heavenly
-
@babycanuck: whaaaaaat? Oh man...yes! I need to try this!
-
Is it wrong that I'm Canadian and I've never had a nanaimo bar or maple candy!?
I fondly remember eating a lot of Jos Louis as a kid though!
I think they should have given them ketchup chips. Yummmmmmy!
-
@sunny: we have ketchup chips in New York....we bought them as a joke for my FIL (the ketchup king).
-
@swedishfish: did he like them? I have heard of sightings in WA state but I haven't been able to find them myself. Probably a good thing since I can demolish a big bag by myself in no time!
-
@sunny: I don't know if he ever tried them. I'll have to ask!
-
Amazing. I cannot eat maple candy, way too sweet!!
I think they should have shown these folks milk bags
-
@Beebug: all my American friends think those are the weirdest thing ever! "How do you shake your milk?" "So it's just *open* in your fridge?" Haha!
-
I want to try All Dressed chips and what is poutine?? Like what is it actually?
-
@Mrs. Chocolate: french fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy
-
@babycanuck: LOL I love that you used the word smothered. So appropriate. And so delicious.
-
If anyone wants to try Nanaimo bars, go to the cities website for the recipe. I hail from Nanaimo, BC, and it's a travesty if you try any other recipe.
-
@Mrs. Chocolate: I saw some in the frozen section at Trader Joes but I haven't had a chance to try them myself yet!
-
@Mrs. Chocolate: @babycanuck: In England we eat this all the time (shredded cheese instead of curds though) and it's called cheesy chips and gravy
We thought having a fancy name like poutine was hilarious when we first moved to Canada.
-
Heh that was almost as entertaining as the milk in a bag discussion. That blew my mind! I've never heard of the dressed chips, but I seriously have a craving for some ketchup chips now.
-
i always forget that all dressed flavoured chips are not available in the us! they're my fav flavour!
I love perusing the candy and snacks aisles when down in the states... you guys have neat things, too!
-
this is the worst thread for a pregnant person. I want naniamo bars so bad now. Only I prefer mine with adding mint extract to the custard and adding green food dye. The best way.
-
I don't know what any of these things are! But I've never been close to Canada and I don't actually know any Canadians, so it's not surprising.
-
My curiosity is piqued over milk in a bag! What are the advantages to it being in a bag instead of a jug or bottle? I've never heard of that before.
-
@Mrs. Peanut: I think it is less waste perhaps? (Eg. Less plastic used than a jug).
-
haha - what a great video! Gravy on fries?? Not sure about that one!
I think we need a Canada /USA swap so we can send each other goodies from our region
@Sophs Mama: I just looked it up - what's icing sugar?
-
@Mamaof2: powdered sugar I think it's called there
