As a kid the differences between Canadian and American grocery stores was amazing. Especially chocolate bars.

Not so different anymore, aside from the prevalence of corn based sweeteners.

Honestly, I don't understand how the US doesn't get any of the good chocolate bars: Coffee Crisp, Crispy Crunch, Eat More, Wunderbar, Smarties (not the chalky candies, those are Rockets), and Aero.

You still can’t get Mr. Big in American grocery stores.

Or Kinder Surprise eggs [0]. No problems going to Walmart to pick up a firearm though...

My local grocery store (New York City) has lots of kinder eggs always. So do some local corner stores.
