Yeah, those All Dressed chips are good. They are an interesting combination of Salt And Vinegar and BBQ flavor.

Can't recall off the top of my head, but think Smarties and Kitkat are some of the ones they don't have in the states. Actually, just found a list here. (might be a bit of a click baity site but at least it's all on one page) http://cottagelife.com/canadiana/10-chocolate-bars-youll-only-find-in-canada

I've definitely seen the dill pickle chips here. Everything else ......... no. Why do your smarties look like M&M's? Also notable, Tim Horton's is bad .. but it's far ahead of the burnt coffee house known as Starbucks. I still swear Panera has the best on-the-go coffee. It's never failed me.

I tossed it yesterday, it said something about crazy Canadian flavor. It didn't give much insight to the flavor.

All Dressed is spectacular. But nothing will compare to Sour Cream and Onion with a lot of salt. Yum.

It's just a mix of BBQ, salt and vinegar* and ketchup. Those are basically the 3 main flavors, so all dressed just means it's using all 3.


* In some states you may need to show ID to purchase chips that contain this chemical.

My favourite are lower salt chips. Unsalted chips aren't bad either. Most chip types are too salty otherwise, and the low calorie chips suck.

It seems these days for a lot of packaged savoury foods, the amount of salt I like is about half what's usually in them.

And no I don't really like the all-dressed ones.

I'm not sure if it's the #1, but it is a pretty popular one. I like it myself. There's also a Poutine Flavour, it's not bad, I find most of them are more or less some different variant of BBQ though.

I can't recall where I read this, but apparently a lot of chocolate bars and chip flavours we have arn't available in the states. Kinda interesting actually, I always kinda pictured the states as being really big on junk food. :p

Quantity, yes. Variety, no. It's kind of like when I went to Walmart to get some gloves and they had a wall about 5 feet wide and 8 feet tall filled with gloves, but the only size they had was Medium. No one wants to stock anything that doesn't sell by the billions.

Tikka Masala is normally pretty good. I'll have to try them to see if they can get the flavor right.

Ketchup is easily the best flavor. They used to sell them in a lot of stores here in Maine, but they've all but disappeared.
