Tastes of childhood

For many who grew up in Canada, chewing on gum that tasted like soap was nothing unusual, and ketchup chips and Hickory sticks were the childhood snacks of choice – that is, unless you favoured something a little sweeter, like a Caramilk or Coffee Crisp. But while these brands might spark serious nostalgia in some, most people outside of Canada haven't heard of them at all. These are the nostalgic food brands you'll only find in The Great White North.
