I AM CANADIAN, eh? So, what do Canadians have to be proud of?

1. Smarties

2. Crispy Crunch & Coffee Crisp

3. The size of our footballs fields and one less Down

4. Baseball is Canadian

5. Lacrosse is Canadian

6. Hockey is Canadian

7. Basketball is Canadian

8. Apple pie is Canadian

9. Mr. Dress-up kicks Mr. Rogers ass

10. Tim Horton's kicks Dunkin' Donuts ass

11. In the war of 1812, started by America, Canadians pushed the

Americans back...past their 'White House'. Then we burned it...and most of

Washington, under the command of William Lyon McKenzie who was insane and

hammered all the time. We got bored because they ran away, so we came home

and partied ... Go figure...

12. Canada has the largest French population that never surrendered to

Germany.

13. We have the largest English population that never ever surrendered

or withdrew during any war to anyone, anywhere.

14. Our civil war was a bar fight that lasted a little over an hour.

15. The only person who was arrested in our civil war was an American

mercenary, who slept in and missed the whole thing...but showed up just in

time to get caught.

16. We knew plaid was cool far before Seattle caught on.

17. The Hudsons Bay Company once owned over 10% of the earth's surface

and is still around as the worlds oldest company.

18. The average dog sled team can kill and devour a full grown human in

under 3 minutes.

19. We still know what to do with all the parts of a buffalo.

20. We don't marry our kin-folk.

21. We invented ski-doos, jet-skis, Velcro, zippers, insulin,

penicillin, zambonis, the telephone and short wave radios that save

countless lives each year.

22. We ALL have frozen our tongues to something metal and lived to tell

about it.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT!

23. ....the handles on our beer cases are big enough to fit your hands

with mitts on.

OOOOoohhhhh Canada!!

:kiss leesonlpn, thank you so much!!! I am traveling up to Alberta in a couple of months and think I will survive until then. :) :) :)

What on earth are old dutch chips?

Never heard about them in Holland.

It is just a brand. Has been around for years and years. Has a picture of a windmill on the bag. I don't know what the connection is to windmills and potato chips.Maybe the first company used the windmill internal devices to rig up a potato slicing mechanism:confused:

That's the wierd thing! I could never get ketchup chips when I lived in the US!

Hey, guys, when you say "chips" do you mean "crisps" as in thin flat slices of fried potato, or do you mean "chips" as in 1/2 inch square lengths of potato like fries, but thicker, so less surface area to absorb fat from the frying, and therfore healthier as well! Ketchup is good with them, the Dutch prefer mayonnaise!

Chips are crisps don. Chips are only used to describe french fries if it is "fish 'n chips". :) I HATE mayonaise with french fries! They do that in parts of french speaking Canada as well...YUCK

Love Tim Hortons donuts, they do kick Dunkin Donut's ass!!

chips (aka french fries) are the best with mayonaisse!

us aussies get smarties in boxes, bags and tubes. crisps are chips, chips are chips as in fish and chips, we eat them with tomatoe sauce, mayo or gravy. with salt or chicken salt, and frenchfries are like crisps (except long and skinny) unless you go to macdonalds, the golden arches they call chips french fries.

I personally prefer peanut suace with my fries, but mayo is good to.

Talking about chips, anybody seen a Paprika version in North America? They are a bit like barbecue but it isn't the same.

First time I went to Canada at 14 I ordered French Fries(chips) they brought them with gravy on them. I told the waitress I didn't ask for gravy, she looked at me a bit odd and said but you ordered French Fries. I said yes, but not with gravy. She explained that was the way they come. OK. So I ate them and liked it so much, I still do it that way occasionally years later.

Don't even need to go to a different country for things like that. Moved to New Hampshire from Michigan years ago. Went out to eat and asked what type of pop they had. They waitress asked Pop? So I said you know coke, she goes oh, tonic. No, I don't want any tonic water. She laughed and said a Soda? I asked can I get a pepsi or a coke, call it whatever.:D
