Looking for " Combos" [General]
2007 Dec 15
Come to think of it, I used to buy them at a store in Waterloo called Real Canadian Wholesale Club. (think Costco, but owned by Loblaws)
Have you checked our local Superstores or Loblaws? Given that they are owned by the same company, one would think that those stores would stock them as well.

I used to snack on these quite a bit of when I went to the University of Ottawa. At the time, it was available at the convenience store that was located at the Unicentre.
The National Grocer Cash and Carry is located at 1435 Cyrville Rd and sells mostly to restaurants and corner stores but anyone can shop there. They carry a huge selection of candies you find at the front counters of any neighborhood corner store. I don’t remember seeing Combos there but I’m certain that they sell them. Every time I’m there, I’m tempted to pick up a big box of Pop Rocks.

N8, they’re both owned by Loblaws. I’ve never been to a Real Canadian Wholesale so I can’t compare the look of the stores. The best way to describe the Cash and Carry is it’s a no frills type of store. The prices are not any better unless you buy in bulk.
FF, I love these poorly named products. I’m an ex-smoker and whenever friends went to Taiwan, I’d get them to bring back a brand called Longlife.

I am looking to surprise my hubby with Combos in his stocking this Christmas. For those of you who don't know what they are, they are pretzel snacks filled with a "cheese like" product :) I have seen them at the airport, and we always buy them in the States , but I have never seen them anywhere else! Help me Ottawa Foodies!
