This was my first international exchange, and I'm so glad I did it! I received an awesome package from Canada...Newfoundland to be exact. All these snacks are new to me!

My Santa sent chocolate bars from the Newfoundland Chocolate Company. I tried the wildberry one, and it's soooo good! One of the bars says "Whadda ya at?" so I googled what that meant and got a good laugh watching a video clip of a guy trying to teach different Newfoundland sayings.

Sadly the Kinder Egg did not survive in the mail, but I still got the prize at the end. The prize is a black panther sitting on a log which is interesting since I also participated in the cat exchange. The soda made it, and it's right now getting chilled. I already know I'm going to like it, and it's going to be so refreshing!

I can't wait to try everything else! I'm so thankful for my Santa sharing a bit of her local culture with me, and I got to learn a little bit about a different part of the world.

UPDATE - I couldn't resist having a bag of chips laying around, so I tried the Fries'n Gravy Lays. Pretty tasty. It has an onion flavor to it. Does this count as my first step towards poutine?

UPDATE - Tried the Caramel Log - OMG...yummy!!! They sorta taste like Caramel Delight cookies that the Girl Scouts sell. Great choice, Santa!

UPDATE - Ok so I basically broke into everything else...yes, I pigged out! I wasn't sure about the Cheezies...they look like Cheetos here in the U.S., but they don't taste like Cheetos. I wasn't sure how I felt about them, but I ended up eating the whole bag :P The peppermints are a nice treat I'll be enjoying over the next week. The caramel "Whadda ya at" bar is AMAZING!!! Also, I went bike riding today and the pineapple soda was a nice refreshment. Almost forgot to mention the "You are beautiful" stickers! I put stickers I randomly acquire on my cat's litterbox as decoration, so a couple of them have been added to his collection :)
