After eating at Wayne Gretzky's downtown, we stopped in to grab some quick groceries.
Before paying the 13% sales tax, we noticed a lot of the products were identical to what we have but with different names.
We do this as well, the Arctic Ice Gillette deodorant is named Storm Force for Canada.
Junior Mints are...Juniors.
Caramello's are.. CaraMilks.
Hot Pockets are...Hot Stuffs(They taste just like a hot stuff).
Much to my co-workers dismay, this is our 6th trip to Toronto and we have yet to find any Diet Mountain Dew.

Will they be more or less dismayed when they discover that, in Canada, Mountain Dew - and all other non-cola beverages - do not contain caffeine?
Dave, sounds like you need a contest to find the Canadian name for Mountain Dew.
PS - Have you seen Bob or Doug McKenzie yet?

I just learned today that Canadian regulations are the reasons for some (many?) of the goofy name differences.
You learn something new every day!
It's hard to do labeling in Canada - that's a lot of words they require on each package - and obviously limited space.
