(video) Americans try Canadian snack food

BTW Skittles and Starburst were created by British companies and Jelly beans were a well known Turkish delight long before comming to America. We have them here too. But i do agree that maple sugar is a native treat. :) Whaaaat? I'm just sayin...

Jelly beans were Turkish? Kool!

Poor president Reagan. :lol:

None of which has anything to do with maple sugar candy being "Canadian". It isn't unique to Canada, and never has been.

Okay get this: Old Dutch chips are headquartered in the States and American owned but they're still unmistakably Canadian. By the way your rant is ridiculous. :)

Maybe to Canadians -- people in Minnesota would laugh at you... and people in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, and probably elsewhere.

No, rant, just facts. You can't claim something is "Canadian" when it didn't come uniquely from there.

By your approach, I could claim that automobiles are US-American.
 
The British can claim Tea, and whilst they might argue in Ceylon, that isn't the point.

Are you now claiming that maple sugar candy and Old Dutch chips are integral and signal parts of Canadian culture, practically an institution in themselves, as tea became for Britain? If you can point to "maple sugar candy time" and "Old Dutch chips time" honored daily by a vast portion of the Canadian populace, I'll concede the point.
 
I think the point is that, like Nanaimo bars and poutine, maple sugar candy isn't very well known outside of Canada.
 
Good snack food makes you fat.

Americans are fatter than Canadians.

America has better snack food.

America wins. Fatality.

What!?!?! Old Dutch is/was Canadian? But shhhhh! The Hudson's Bay Company, the longest continuously running corporation on the planet is now owned by yanks, so i won't nitpick.

No worries man, i'm not that petty. I really don't give a fuck who invented what. Just another fun little thread that went south really quick.
 
^ Is it as expensive there as it is here?

We used to make our own syrup when I was a kid. My uncle (sister's brother) lived on a dairy farm and he would tap the trees on the property. We would boil it down in an oil barrel split vertically and set on its side over a frame with an open fire beneath it. It was a lot of work keeping the fire going, and it seemed to take forever to turn the sap into syrup.

The prices were about the same, back then.

I wonder: does it take as many cords of wood to make a gallon of syrup as it takes gallons of sap? :D

Woah. Your uncle is your sister's brother?
 
^ Yes. And I'm my own grandpa. (Google it.)

Actually, that is what is called an 'oopsie'.

(Good catch!)
