non-Canadians are welcome to vote.

Clamato is a Clam juice mixed with tomato juice. It is used in a Caesar, which is the Canadian version of a bloody mary. Much better though, IMO.

OK, that's right. However, no one was saying what was an American company here. It's a poll of what Canadian products people would want, and indeed Kraft dinner is a Canadian product, because you can only buy it in Canada. There could be the same product where you live under a different name, but it aint called Kraft Dinner. If I was to go to where you're from and ask for Kraft Dinner, I'm sure people would be saying that there's no such thing.

The product was originally marketed as Kraft Dinner, but is now known in the United States and other countries as Kraft Macaroni & Cheese (Dinner). In the United Kingdom, it is marketed as Cheesey Pasta, while in Canada, it has retained its original name of Kraft Dinner (and nickname KD).

Though Kraft is an American company. the founder of the company K.L Kraft was indeed a Canadian, something that a wise guy like you would surely know. Right?

Why don't you say something about clamato juice, as that too is made by an American company, but I'm sure most Americans don't know what it is. However, us Canadians view it as a product from back home because it is something that most Canadians like.

As for the poll, I would like to have some of that great Sun Rype Apple Juice. Made from BC apples with Swiss machines. Does that count as a Canadian product?

Vegemite, that bastion of Australiana is now produced by an American company too.
I always thought of cranberries as being Canadian but after a google search have discovered they're originally from the USA. All my perceptions are collapsing like a house of cards...

There is a massive Cranberry Festival near my home town every year. It is ridiculously busy, but I have never gone, haha.

You are right. I didnt know that Mr Kraft was a Canadian. Unlike you Canadians who go around saying " you know William Shatner is Canadian and so was Alex Graham Bell, and Shania Twain too."- Americans dont feel the need to report who is from the US.
