Foodland in Mindemoya

Because I love going to grocery stores during vacation, C thought it would be a good idea to check out Island Foodsin downtown Mindemoya.

I loved their covered shopping cart return, just like Super H-Mart in Niles!

Yes, thank you very much!

OMFG - French Crush (okay, Canadian, but it's in French!). Raisin is "grape" and "soda mousse" is creme soda.

Maynards brand candies. You can also find some of them here at North Park Produce. The name "wine gums" doesn't sound appetizing to me. Sounds like a gross dental problem. I picked up the Fuzzy Peaches and some sour gummy worms for TC.

Mini bagged versions of various candy bars.

Smarties are the UK equivalent of M 'n M's. Personally, I like the more varied color palette (they have a periwinkle color and pink too!) but the taste is a bit too chalky and not as chocolatey as M 'n M's.

Ooh, "Os de Poulet" aka "chicken bones" by Canadian brand, Robertson's Candy. Remember to pronounce all of the French words in an exaggerated Maurice Chevalier accent. R'oh r'oh r'oh! Ugh, chocolate and cinnamon hard candies.

Man, they fkg love Ketchup flavored chips over here! From Lay's to Pringles and Old Dutch. Of course, I picked up a can of these Pringles! You know, for "research". I liked the tomato powder on those chips!

Old Dutch brand chips. Check out the Dill Pickle flavor. Ugh, I just cringed. And hey yo, what do you know? They have KETCHUP! I remember seeing Old Dutch popcorn and pretzels at the Walmart in Wisconsin Dells.

Humpty Dumpty brand snacks is a Canadian company. "In 2006, the company was acquired in a takeover bid by Old Dutch Foods. Many Humpty Dumpty products were rebranded as Old Dutch Foods on the potato chips side, whereas other snacks such as Ringolos retained the Humpty Dumpty name." (info from wikipedia's entry on "Humpty Dumpty")

Speaking of Ringolos, here they are. C picked up a bag for us. These are like corn chips, but in ring form. I think C said she used to put them on her fingers when she was younger and eat them.

For Bert, I picked up some Junior Caramels, which I'd never seen before. Junior Mints yes, but not Junior Caramels. They tasted kind of waxy to me, but he liked them.

Here's something I haven't seen before either, milk in a bag. The dairy company, Lord Farquad Farquhar's is local to Manitoulin Island.

After having a field day spazzing and  checking all of the Canadian and French brands of foods, we finally headed back to pick up Bert and TC from the Kicking Mule Ranch.

I had a total blast checking out the store.  The snacks flavors were so different than what I'm used to. Same with the soda flavorsI also love how everyone knows each other here. Whenever I was introduced to a local, I was described as "my friend from California"! Time to head back to C's.
