Sometimes you feel like a nut
Sometimes you don't
Almond Joy has nuts
Mounds don't
I remember back when the commercial using this jingle was on television, we didn't have those two chocolate bars (or candy bars for my U.S. friends) available in Canada, or at least in my little backwater Northern Ontario home town.
That used to frustrate me -- seeing commercials for things I couldn't get to. One of the most frustrating was this really cool Toys R Us superstore I kept seeing on American television commercials, but there wasn't one yet located anywhere near my hometown. Man that looked so cool.
Oh well, at least now I can take my son to Toys R Us while drinking my Tim Hortons coffee and snacking on a Coffee Crisp or eating my Smarties (and while there are some Tim Hortons locations popping up in the U.S. you still can't get those candy bars in the States, right? When I say I eat the reds one last it means nothing to anyone south of the 49th parallel, right?)

let me tell you, you were not deprived by not having access to almond joy and mounds. it is patently wrong to contaminate perfectly good chocolate with coconut. WRONG WRONG WRONG!
i loked up the smarties, nestle version on m&ms it seems. and yeah, ya gotta save the red ones last!
I MISS MY TIM HORTONS!!!!!! Even Chris, who only spent about two and half months total in Canada misses Tim Hortons!! Can you imagine that I spent the whole insanely hot summer here in Texas without a single Tim Horton Iced Cappucino!?! And sorry, but Starbuck just isn't the same when it comes to Iced Caps! *Sigh* ... on the flip side though, I have fallen in love with cornbread and chili and crawfish etouffe things that I would have never enjoyed as much in Canada.
Not that I know of, but we have Smarties, but like Ameratis said they must be different down here. Little flat circular round sweet tart type candies. Pretty cheap.
Smarties are the best!!!!
The Canadian ones that is!
i'm also down with lime... almond joy and mounds both suck.
