I'm sitting in my friend's attic apartment here in Vancouver and it's beautiful and sunny outside. I'd show you, but this computer running XP seems incapable of communicating with my digital camera (in contrast with my Mac, which in such predictable constrast really has its shit together--thank you, Steve Jobs). So, some purely verbal bitching about why can't I get these foods in California?
Cereals: Shreddies and Just Right. Shreddies are an absolute Canadian classic. Most people of a certain vintage will even remember Freddie and Eddie, the Shreddies mascots. I even appreciate the billboard at the end of the street advertising new "Diamond Shreddies". And Just Right is just about the best bowl of flakes that money can buy.
Cookies: Dare Digestive Biscuits. Yes, there is a market in the world for a not-so-sickly-sweet cookie, with only 7g of sugar per 36g serving. Those of us with sugar-hyper issues appreciate something we can eat for dessert after dinner without it making us sleepless. Not to mention that the taste is just downright wholesome goodness.
Juice: Five Alive. Of any kind. OK, it's a lot like Sunny Delight as a citrus blend, but it's better. Way better.
OK, I'd best get some sunshine now--who knows how long it will last!

that explains a lot
Welcome home, little trooper.
We just ran supplies to friends in Seattle. Ribena, Wheatabix (sp?) and a couple of keys of Smarties.
You can't buy Smarties in the US? What sort of free-trade zone is this, anyway?
And secondsies on what dp said.
Pilot Bread.
Can you get pilot bread?
