Fab Finds Friday: Crazzy Canuck

As a designer, I’m not crazy about the logo. As an editor, I’m not crazy about the extra Z. But as a Canadian, I’m crazy about the Crazzy Canuck. This Canadian import store used to be located on University Avenue where a trip required you to go out of your way. Now they’ve relocated to the Provo Towne Center, right across from Cinemark movie theater. Sure they boast a variety of hockey and lacrosse equipment, but that’s not why I go. I go there for the Canadian foods that I miss from my home and native land. And to tell you the truth, I was going to be sneaky and suggest that you might want to perhaps consider sneaking a Canadian treat into the movies next time you go, but when I showed up, I was greeted by a huge sign advertising the movie special.

Canadian Import Stores

If you check out the Crazzy Canuck sometime soon, here are my top recommendations:

  • Wonderbar candy bar. Chocolate and caramel wrapped around peanut butter crunch. So good, and statistically everyone’s favorite.
  • Crunchie candy bar. Sponge toffee covered in chocolate. My favorite.
  • Smarties. I’ll tell you why they’re better than M&M’s—because the candy shell has its own taste. Suck them before chewing!
  • Caramilk. Caramel-filled chocolate. Pure deliciousness.
  • Fuzzy peaches. Okay, I’m not totally sure that they carry this Canadian sour candy, but they should!
  • Red River hot cereal. Not something you’ll be sneaking into the movies, but take this home for a nutritious breakfast!
  • Ketchup chips. If you’ve never eaten Ketchup chips, you don’t know what you’re missing. And I don’t even like potato chips!

Whether or not you’re Canadian, this store has something great to offer you. Stop by and try out any of my recommendations!

    I used to frequent that store during my BYU days! I love Canada, and loved it to the point that I even pretended to be Canadian as an undergrad. I don’t know if they still do this, but they used to take your picture if you were Canadian and put it up on the wall. I was proudly displayed amongst all the real Canadians on that wall. I’m from California. =)
