Hawkins Cheezis are the best (although I may be a bit biased as my ancestral Ontario home and farm were bought from relatives of the Hawkins that started the business: I feel a connection but they are also an addictive food!) Other cheese-flavoured treats just don’t compare favourably. And Cheezis also claim to be good for you!
stunning that they don’t have coffee crisp, caramilk, or crispy crunch. They’re like the three best chocolate bars going.
I knew they couldn’t get mcintosh’s filling-remover in the US. They’re good too, just gotta watch the teeth.
Yeah, hawkins cheezis are the best. I don’t like cheesies, but those ones I’ll tolerate.

I can get a 14.8 oz bag of Hawkins Cheezis for $12.38 on Amazon, with free delivery on Monday. Kinda expensive, but it seems like a big bag. (420 g)
Didn’t look up the other stuff.
We definitely can’t get the little chocolate egg things with the toys in them. I think it’s like actually illegal to import them. They have something with the same name here, but it’s like a gross gooey chocolate-like pudding-like substance that you eat with a utensil. Apparently the Canadian ones are a choking hazard. (Would like to see stats on how many Canadian children die from these “hazards” each year. 
)
One of my Canadian friends imports Smarties by the quarter-ton. Ok that might be a slight exaggeration, but only slight.
Coffee crisp is coffee flavoured very crispy wafers covered in chocolate.
Caramilk is gooey caramel inside chocolate. Messy.
Hard to describe crispy crunch.
The McIntosh is a wafer of toffee that’s so dense it will actually pull your fillings out. But it’s really good toffee.

Twig, please tell me you’re not actually going to spend that much on Cheezies! That is an awful markup on them!
Apparently I need to start importing snack foods when I resume visiting Canada regularly.
I was just planning to resume filling my/my wife’s non-generic meds, but it looks like there’s good money to be made importing Canadian junk food for resale to folks south of the border. 
Creamy lol. That stuff is like a brick.

No, but what do they go for in Canada? Just curious.
About US$2 for a 210 gm package. That’s a good sized package.
Ah, so $4 for the package I posted times some exchange rate and yeah, that’s quite the markup!
So we switch to DST in British Columbia tonight because the US is dragging its feet on going to year round daylight time.
BC has passed legislation enabling this but waiting to implement it for practical reasons until the US states in our time zone (Oregon, Washington and California) enact it. They are all on board but, unlike Canada, the US apparently requires federal approval to make the change? Nothing likely to happen as a result.
The US requires federal approval to deviate from pre-selected options.
Year-round standard time is a pre-selected option that does not require federal approval, and it is currently exercised by Arizona and Hawaii (one red state and one blue state for good measure). Until somewhat recently (after I became an adult, anyway) also most of Indiana.
Changing time zones might require federal approval, I’m not quite sure. But I would think if they really wanted to, WA & OR could simply switch to year-round MST. Which is the exact same thing as year-round PDT in everything but name.
When I went to Spring training a few years back it was DST weekend. So I switched from PST to MST when I flew into Phoenix Friday morning. Then didn’t change to MDT on Sunday because AZ doesn’t do DST. Then when I flew home Monday morning it was still MST in AZ and it was PDT at home so I didn’t have to change time on the return trip.
Kind of weird changing time in only one direction!
