I just finished a long weekend in Canada, Windsor to be precise. Even at a Shoppers Drug Mart (major drugstore chain), the selection was enough to keep me satisfied.
If I brought back all I wanted, I would have had to carry a hernia as well. And I should have bought Twinkies.
Canada, like the rest of the world, doesn't use high-fructose corn syrup. So food tastes like it's supposed to taste. I could order a Coke in a restaurant. I bought ketchup and breakfast bars. I even got a bottle of Coca-Cola with lime.
Things are less sweet in general in Canada, which appeals to my taste buds.
When I crossed back across the border, I explained why I bought ketchup. She was surprised, having never heard that before. Hopefully, one more person is educated.
I don't drink American pop anymore, but in Windsor, I ordered it a couple of times. At the Hardee's on the way back, I ordered a meal. I almost got ready to order a Coke, and stopped myself. "Sorry, back in the U.S. The regular rules apply."
After traveling via Megabus.com, I may take more trips to Detroit/Windsor, and bring back more food from Canada.
