1. The drinking age is 18 (and 19 in some parts of Canada)
Not such a bad thing, especially if you're under 21 and live in the states.
2. Traffic lights are horizontal, not vertical.
3. It is against the law to serve meat under well-done.
Restaurants cannot serve medium, medium well or medium rare steaks, but they can bring raw steak to you to cook yourself at fondue, hibachi style places.
4. Tim Hortons is the Canadian Dunks
No, just no.
5. Their currency is plastic
Ours is paper and Canada's money is plastic, in addition to the difference in value.
6. People openly sell marijuana- use products
"Bongs and Such" was the most popular, and many people grow their own weed in their back yard.
7. Bathrooms are called washrooms
Is the word bathroom too informal?
8. Kraft peanut butter
Not Jif, Skippy or Peter Pan and yes, like the Mac n' Cheese brand.
9. The "Paralyzer" and the "Caesar"
Coke, vodka, Kahlua, cream
Vodka, Clamato juice, lime, celery stalk, celery salt, hot sauce, pepper, Worcestershire sauce (gag)
10. The Italian food sucks (no offense, eh?)
Minus the old Spaghetti Factory, anything Italian food related in Canada really isn't the same as in America (P.S., it isn't proper to say you're from America, the proper way to say you're from the USA is to say "the States"). While Italian food in the States in certainly Americanized, it tastes a whole lot better.
