Are there any items that you search out and purchase in the US that you cannot get in Canada? What are they?

My neighbour drives over to buy Scott's weed and feed lawn fertilizer, and I'm sure he's not the only one who is aware of items that we can't get over here.

Pop Secret Homestyle microwave popcorn. Best microwave popcorn...ever!

I always pick up 2 - 3 boxes of 10 whenever I'm across the border.

I even inquired with the company that bought Pop Secret about bringing it to Canada.

They replied with the flavors they do have in Canada.

I replied that I knew what they had in Canada, and asked if they would consider bringing Homestyle to Canada.

She said no. :cry:

As a Star Wars collector there are lots of cool exclusives that Target, Toys R Us, Kmart and Wallmart get in the US. I have to mail order from the US or go to the US to get them. Even with Toys R Us and Wallmarts in Canada they often don't get the exclusives or they get very few of them.
