1. Sure you can.

There's some mint Aero bars in my freezer.

Of course, my wife's friend in Kingston-upon-Hull, England has to ship them to us, they're not available in stores.

BTW -- I was in Rochester, NY last week, and wondered what country I was in for a second when I drove past a Tim Horton's...

7. I wish they had a Tim Horton's here.
I have a craving for Tim Horton's sometimes and want to drive right to Canada...

9. really?
I hate that horrible shit...except Bagatelles, which they don't sell in Western Canada for some reason. It's funny though, I have lived all over Canada, and Vancouver is the only place that doesn't have a Tim Horton's on every block, and people don't talk about it like it's life blood. It's just cause we are a coffee culture...coffee snobs if you will. What do you like there?

20. I don't have a Krispy Kreme where I live
I'm in the section of ny that is in between the realm of Tim Horton's and the realm of Krispy Kreme- so we have Dunkin Donuts. I hate that place. :shrug:

6. You can get Aero
though *not* everywhere.

I get them at a local Irish store, but it's only open in the summer/fall. :(

24. Wish it was easier to get CRUNCHIES in the States...
You can pay obscene prices for them at specialty stores. My wife ordered me a box from eBay. They arrived all broken, of course, but it's better than none at all. <Comic Book Guy> Best. Candy bar. Ever. </Comic Book Guy>

25. you know what's better
IS this place in Whistler that makes a similar product...I think the inside of crunchie is called "sponge toffee" or something. But they make it and cover it with real milk chocolate..soooo good!
