What Canadian products would you like to be able to buy in Korea, that you can't find now? What specific products do you wish were available?

There's a thread in off-topic for non-store product related items.
I'd appreciate it if posters would stick to the theme of this poll, which is supermarket related items. Thanks. |

I'm back in the land of the morning toke, but I suspect you'd be better off sticking with things that aren't available in the US too.
Canuck smarties (different sort of candy than what Americans would think of) Swiss Chalet dipping sauce, Tim Hortons coffee and maybe stuff that's unique to the various regions of Canada.
I personally hate just about all Newfie food with a passion, but you oughta know that if you can import summer savory ( it's an herb), Purity products (they make candy, jams and various traditional Newfie foods) and maybe some bizarre flavors of potato chips, you'll have a solid client base already. |

nacho chips (available here)
chocolate bars (lots here)
soups (campbells is available here)
sauces (for wings, blue cheese, hollandaise, etc)
Clamato Juice (Yes please)
Candy (twizzlers, gum, treats) - twizzlers and/or liquorice
mixes: gravy, nacho, hollandaise, etc. (a better variety would be nice)
Kraft Dinner, stuffed jalepenos, perogies (KD can be found) but I would love some perogies and stuffed jalepenos

Thanks for the tip, seems to have worked. 
I would be interested in Old Dutch nachos, or Doritos. The korean ones don't do anything for me.
Choco bars are good selection, but I haven't seen Oh Henry, Bounty, smarties, reese's pieces, or many other popular favorites. |

I miss Old Dutch nachos and that corn dip that came with it. Kraft Dinner would be nice, but it's probably for the best that you can't get it here. I love perogies and wish I could find them as well.
Tim Hortons (and everything attached to that name). |

Agreed, Ketchup, Salt and Vinegar, and Dill Pickle chips would be very welcome.
I'd buy tomato juice if it weren't sweetened. |
