on the rare occasion that I get a waitress/waiter that says "you're welcome" as opposed to "no problem" I tend to double the the tip I was going to leave

PM me your address, you grumpy old bugger. I'll mail you a bag of lime and black pepper chips, and you will change your mind.

I've never encountered the Worsteshershireiere chips, but would happily accept a sample...

This is why I love this forum. And did you see the Roast Chicken flavor?? There's Smokey Bacon and Prawn, too.

Finally, I can stop wearing black in mourning for Bacon-Flavored Thins, those genius Nabisco crackers that went away years ago. Thank you!

So smarties in Canada are just differently colored M&Ms?

Different kind of chocolate with a weaker shell, and the dye has a melting point of approximately 1 degree above ambient. You end up quite colourful. Did the US ever get the "melts in your mouth, not in your hands" commercials for M&Ms?

Canadian Coke is made with cane sugar, too. Tastes more like the Mexican stuff. Great when ice cold, not so good when warm. But don't think you'll ever find fountain drinks at a gas station, so no ice for you.

Did you know that Canadian Miatas have a temperature gauge that sits just above centre? The US ones sit just under center. The cars run at the same temp. My theory is that Canadians are afraid of freezing to death while Americans are scared of overheating.

Yeah but our smarties were first, and they call them rockets there so you guys don't confuse them with your funny nestle m&ms.
