3. You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars.
4. You drink Pop, not Soda.
5. You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean
6. You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars and no Americans.
7. You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
8. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
9. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers.

From a fellow Commonwealth country, I got a few of those.

Some of those vary from region to region in the US.
In my area (Southwest Indiana), 'Coke' is used as a generic term for any soft drink. Calling it 'pop' or 'soda' immediately marks you as a non-native.4. You drink Pop, not Soda.
That's true around here. The only place I've ever seen 'Pike' used as part of a highway name was in Maryland when I was there back in February.7. You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway.
True around here as well.8. You drive on a highway, not a freeway.
Around here, it's basketball.17. Your local newspaper covers the national news on 2 pages,but requires 6 pages for hockey
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier

Can't say this for any country in the commonwealth.17. Your local newspaper covers the national news on 2 pages,but requires 6 pages for hockey.
Shit! Every single one of those points is true!
Except for 11 and 24. I don't say eh. And I don't give a flying fuck if American shows talk about Canada or not.
