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.

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!

My sister in law must know about this place I am forwarding it to her right now!!
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. =)
