I take exception, however, to the reviewer's remarks about Aero bars. They're lovely.

What Lore Didn't Cover

(the stuff I smuggle back on the annual trip to le Festival International de Jazz de Montreal)

-Coca-cola with real sugar instead of corn syrup. Fairly similar to the US product, but noticeably different if you drink Coke as much as I do. Not as sweet as Mexican Coke, and not the enamel-thinning battery acid bottled in Hungary.
-Kraft Dinner Spaghetti. It's like Mac and Cheese, only spaghetti. Also available in creamy tomato flavor. Notable because it serves two rather than one and a half.
-Happy Planet Oh Cranada juice, the only cranberry I like more than Ocean Spray
-Pickle Chips
-Smoky Bacon Chips that may have been downwind of bacon at the supermarket, but no closer
-"All Dressed" Chips

One of the major supermarket chains here has an Irish/British food section, in which you can snag Lion or Flake bars, but usually not Crunchies. There's a gourmet food shop in town that has a massive British Junk Food section, including my favorite British candy bars (Cadbury Fuse and Nestle Yorkie), and Smarties Smarties Smarties. They're overpriced as hell, though. And I've actually been to a gas station near White River Junction, VT, that had Australian candy for some weird reason.

Cadbury Fuse?

Chocolate bar containing peanuts, caramel, raisins, and cookie pieces. Yorkies, which are more often available in the states because Cadbury dislikes having their stuff imported, can be plain, raisin and cookie piece, or nut (which I've not tried).

And Aero bars also come in orange and dark chocolate.
