Our smarties are different.....they are just candy tablets, although they are still quite good.
We also don't have kinder eggs.

Kinder eggs are the bomb when you are a kid.. cuz they come with that toy inside... and the chocolate egg is sooooooo good... kinder mini eggs at halloween are great..

i'm sure you can ... but it is very expensive (cuz you have to use frozen grapes)... even up in canada it's about $50 -$80/ bottle

I still love them, although maybe that's because they have always been a special treat that you can't get just anywhere...

Yeah, not enough chocolate though. I'm always left wanting lots more. :(

Crikey. I don't think I'll have him get it if it costs that much.

Skoorb your obsession with smarties upsets me. They're not that good. In fact I like the US form of smarties better, or as we call them in Canada, 'rockets'. Not that they're really comparable items.

1. ATI is based in Canada.
2. Avril Lavigne is Canadian.
3. Alanis Morissette is Canadian.
4. Sarah McLachlan is Canadian.
5. AT's unofficial favorite hot dealer Jokersmoker is Canadian.

I changed my mind about Canada, maybe they do have some good things after all. :D

Their strip clubs are the best in North America. Maybe he can sneek in a minidv.
