Other Things that run Large in CanadiaLand

The folks that bring you Gigantaloid, Feed-your-horse sized Doritos...




...also proudly present the somewhat-illegal-in-America Freak Size Kinder Surprise. It's roughly the size of a small Nerf football.

Illegal in the States, you say? Well, yeah, kinda sorta. You see, it's against the law here to sell things that aren't food inside things that are. And since the Kinder Surprise is little more than a toy wrapped in a shell of chocolate...that pretty much explains it.





Admittedly, the whole 'choking hazard' argument runs a bit thin when your prize is a foot tall.





The warnings on the wrapper SHOULD read, Do not use re-use foil to wrap children's heads.
Even if both you and they really wanna. Yes, yes. We know it's shiny.





It may also explain the wide, wide variety of wide, wide, wide sweatpants in town.




Loose fit or tight fit? Butt pockets or full hiney comfort? Elastic bottom or open bottom? Am I getting sweatpants, ordering a cheesebuger or buying a CAR here? Sheesh!

Heh. The superstore here doesn't have all those sweat pants. It's a little different per province, I think.

Did she take you to a Costco? Seriously bulk items. You'd have a field day...

<sub>Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh continuity problem!
The sweatpants selection was actually shot in a Wal-Mart...

I wonder if you can see all the boom mikes hanging from the tops of my photos too? :-P</sub>
