A lot more sweet than those in Canada.
It's a stark contrast with Canada, where everything tastes salty instead. Take the bread, for instance. For some reason, in the US it's almost kind of a cake, whereas here it's too salty to be like an American bread. Even your chips taste different. And don't get me started on the fries.
Also, something else that is deeply disturbing me is how most of your flavors are artificial. When I buy jelly here, it's mostly natural stuff. In the US, it's flavored corn syrup. In fact, I'm usually more surprised not to see corn sugar than the other way around when I buy food in the US.
Am I the only one who feels this way? People who travels a lot (from or to the US), did you notice that too?
Anyway, it's mostly curiosity at that point, not shaming or anything.
