Case in point:

The "Polska szklanka". Every home has one, transparent or dark glass. For some reason even if you don't have them, they will randomly appear.

Too on the nose... Don't canadians have something more recognizable for eachother but an outsider wouldn't know what the hell you're talking about? Like, I posted a goddamn glass lol. There must be something local to you.

I feel like the only things here that are genuinely different from the US are conspicuously Canadian.

The HBC point blanket is an iconic object the US doesn't have, but I don't have one because the history makes me really uncomfortable.
