There is a candy store in Kensington which sells Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, and A&W Cream Soda. Plus a bunch of American and European candy imports.

Just curious for those who have tried both... But how do WhiteCastle and In N Out stack up against each other?

[DENZILDON]

White Castle hands down! I can eat that shit like a mofo!

In and out is good but I'm ok with just eating one burger.

Drinks:

I am all about cinnamon life and cookie crisp. I had no idea you couldn't get trix in Canada anymore lol...

In N Out >>>>>> Anything else IMO.

Yep Absolutely, White Castle I thought was pretty bogus, but I didn't gorge, I wasn't starving and I wasn't high. So maybe I just wasn't in the right mind frame.

I'll fuck with In N Out anytime I'm down the West Coast

I found this in a nearby town close to our farm in SE Sask.

Its JUST LIKE Payday, only bigger. Their made in St. Paul MN.



If anybody wants any brought back to Calgary (next time Im down there) let me know. Their $1.70 each. I haven't found them at all in Calgary, so I stock up every time Im down here.

I lived in the twin cities for about 22 years, so I grew up eating White Castle. I really liked it as a kid, but either the food changed or I changed and I don't find it nearly as good now as I remember it being back then. That said, I occasionally grab the frozen ones from the supermarket.

As for In n' Out, I've got several locations near my house. In n' Out is severly overrated IMO. Their burgers are OK, but definitely don't warrant the attention they get in the internet. Their fries suck, McDonald's has WAY better fries. It seems to me they have a really good reputation among people who haven't actually been there, but most people I know who have actually been don't see it as anything special.

Whatchamacalit chocolate bars are my favourite in the US. Used to be able to get them here but haven't seen them for years.

Pearson's is different from payday. Pearson's has peanuts, real caramel, and a white nougat center, whereas Payday has a fake-ass carmel-colored nougat center with peanuts. Peason's also has salt on it, whereas I don't think Payday does. Peason's is still sold by a relatively small private company, whereas Payday is made by the evil multinational Hershey Company.

these are completely different things. whitey's makes small, greasy, slimy, steamed burgers. A normal guy can literally eat like 10 in one sitting.

In n' Out is a regular fast food burger, essentially the same as you get a Wendy's. Overhyped.

White Castle gets points for originality (the only other similar burgers are at Krystal), but In n' Out is less nauseating.

Oh yes Graham you have found one of my favs. Count me in for the next time you are close. MMMMMmmmm. I use to live on the border of Int'l Falls, MN and these were my go too.

[bourge73]

When I was in Texas visiting my bro I found Whataburger and loved it.
I agree with Fixed Gear In and Out isn't THAT great, Id rather go to Whataburger or Checkers.

Okay, you want a box or how many? I wont charge mark up at all, thats cheap. So just keep in mind its 20 per box I think it is.

Sorry FixedGear, it tastes very similar. Its not dead on comparable to Payday, but damn close.

[bourge73]

^^ Thanks! Might as well do a box haha. (a few cold ones on me for your time)

[hurrdurr]

Checkers is fucking terrrrrible!!

[max_boost]

will they make us fat like them?

Somewhat off topic.

These are sold in and imported from the Philippines, there's one store in Drum that sells them.
So addicting and so good! They're pretty cheap too, $2 for a decent bag.

You can actually get them at quite a few places here. If not TNT, there are number of Filipino stores in town where you can get all kinds of flavors.
