Canadian candy bars
Today's flavor of the day: Lychee bubble tea
Rating: 3 stars out of 5

Since I've been here, I've noticed a variety of candy bars that are special to the Canadian market. I don't normally eat candy bars, but decided to give some a try. Aero is one I see everywhere and in a variety of flavors so I assume it to be quite popular up here. The packaging is quite enticing, however I was pretty disappointed upon discovering that it's basically a chocolate bar filled with nothing but bubbles of air. I thought it would be crispy, which would make this so much better, but no. On top of that I was fooled into thinking that there's a lot of chocolate in one bar, but with all the air bubbles you don't really get a good value for your money.

The other candy bar I've tried is Coffee Crisp which is pretty much like a mocha-flavored Kit Kat bar that's one gigantic chocolate wafer. This was much better than Aero and quite good. I've also seen Big Turk at many checkout counters, but I'm still a little afraid of trying this one. It's really the name that throws me off, which can easily be misconstrued for something else by one letter.
