Are Canadians A Little Different?

Here are some ways that Canadians are different from all our friends from other areas.

Some things that are really cool and unique in or about Canada:

We have Canadian Food like:
- Timbits (we will not tell you what they are, if you don't know!).
- Scrunchins (ditto)
- Beaver Tails
- Yellow pea soup
- Nanaimo bars (we made 'em first)
- Butter tarts
- Date squares
- Crispy Crunch bars (YUM)
- Smarties (they are little chocolate candies that look like M&Ms)
- The candies that our American friends call Smarties, we call Rockets.
- McIntosh toffee bars
- Red Rose tea (Only in Canada ....Pity!)
- Newfie screech ..!
- and of course, Poutine

Other interesting Canadian things:

• In some of the colder Canadian provinces, cars have a cord and plug sticking out of the grill ... it's a block heater for those sub-zero (in Celsius) days.
• Halloween costumes have to be able to fit over a snowsuit.
