While I was at work today, Wife took at trip across the border for some holiday shopping.  When ever she goes over, the only rule we have is that we have to buy some crazy American food stuffs.  I say crazy because there are so many strange “foods” on your shelves.  Things that we don’t get here in Canada (which is why I love doing Snack Swaps).  Take for instance the above picture.  It’s probably one of the tamer food items she brought back, but not the first “cupcake” flavored thing to enter the house (cupcake flavored ice cream topping anyone?).  We don’t really get the cookie Goldfish here.  We get some, but it’s mostly the cracker flavors.  Let’s see what else Wife bought in the States.

So the other day I discovered two new snacks.  Cherry Crush and Cheese Burger Doritos.  I’m not sure if these flavors are out in other parts of the globe, if not… then sorry about the tease.

Wife came home with the All Nighter Cheese Burger Doritos one day and we cracked open the bag to find that… these taste exactly like Dairy Queen cheese burgers.  Seriously, no joke.  Exactly like a DQ burger!  Right down to the pickle and mustard.  It totally blew my mind and I think they’re my favorite chip now.  You can’t have too many though as it kind of feels like you’ve been woofing down a pile of burgers.

The Cherry Crush I found when I was out visiting my Bro-in-Law.  As soon as I saw it, I totally snatched up a case.  See, I just about anything cherry.  Heck, just this week I made an almond and cherry loaf of bread.  Mmmmm…  So yeah, when I was able to crack one open, after the kids went to bed, I found I was pleasantly surprised.  I wasn’t like the Black Cherry of the old Pop Shoppe drinks.  It had more of a cherry pie filling sort of flavor to it.  Which I didn’t mind a bit, but I could see it being too much for others.

So if you’re out in stores and you see any of these products, I totally recommend picking them up and trying them.  I’m not sure if they’re limited flavors, but you don’t want to miss them. ^_^
