We do have Tim Hortons in the US. Don't know if it's the same or not, and I've never been to one, but they always run commercials about how fresh their coffee is.
Am I the only one who doesn't notice the difference?
Granted, I think Coke stinks, anyway, but overseas Coke tastes like US Pepsi to me, if any difference at all...
All the major Japaneese watch makers offer amazing models in Japan only.
Citizen make an "Attesa" line of Titanium watches that I would love to get my hands on. I'm just nervous about getting it serviced in the US, after importing one in.

One thing I've taken to lately is the Japanese video game magazine Famitsu (Japanese name: ファミ通). I really like the magazine's "hodge-podge" approach, being different to many western video magazines.
Just to give you an idea, there's a section for the latest movies, stuff about restaurants and food, sometimes stuff about latest gadgets, and even a small blurb about an "idol" (usually an attractive woman who is popular as a singer/actress/model). These take up just a small portion of the magazine, since it's mostly about video games (as it should be).

Yes.
The Mexican Coke also has a slight flavor difference (I think there might be a smidge more vanilla), but overall it's the real sugar that does it.
Boy do we!
I'm still expecting a shipment from a certain lovely Brit, and the excitement is building!
OMG- I just finished the last of mine this weekend. I'm going to go a little crazy without them.
I'm gonna get flamed for this, but fellas, Jaffa Cakes just aren't my thing. Maybe I just haven't had the right ones.
You have access to them?
They're nowhere to be found in the Bay Area.
Yes, the Tim Hortons in the U.S. is the same as the Tim Hortons in Canada. Tim Hortons is owned by Wendy's, actually.
I know, but I still had to mention Coffee Crisp.
Oh, and Canadian Kraft Dinner. Maybe it's OK for this list- does it really qualify as food?
And, yes, it is different than the American Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.
You have access to them?
I used to go to these parties that had them. I have no idea where they came from. I'll see if I can find the source.
For some reason, my brain can't seem to reconcile orange flavor with a treat.
You're just like my sister.
She detests any fruit and chocolate combo, but orange and chocolate is the absolute worst thing in her book.

I hate them.
Sorry demi people.

Yep.

I had no idea that wasn't available in America.
JAffa Cakes are average. It's funny watching those youtube video's with people that have just come back from the UK or have received a shipment of UK chocolate and goodies. They seem amazed at the quality of the chocolate compared to America's offerings, and the biscuits (or 'cookies' as they incorrectly call them ) they go mad for. I guess they just over do it with the sugars and crazy ingredients over there.
