Hey my friends! Here is a post on 7 things or products from Reunion Island that are REALLY NOT the same in Canada or in USA.

Enjoy :)

°MILK°

I know that in America the packaging of milk is a nice box or a plastic jug. In Canada we do have boxes or plastic jugs, but we also have milk bags. In Reunion Island, the milk packaging is a very small box and it comes in packs of 6. I personally love milk! I can't live without it. I don't really like the taste of milk here, I feel like it tastes like water more than milk but it's ok.

°DEODORANT°

In Canada we have spray deodorants but most popular ones are gel and solid stick. Here in Reunion Island they don't have those, they only have spray deodorants.

°MAYONNAISE°

The first time I saw mayonnaise here in Reuinon, I was SURPRIZED because I've never seen mayonnaise that way lol. I am used to the mayonnaise jars. Here they have mayonnaise in a tube packaging! I don't know if in the US they have these but if they do, let me know!

°BATHROOMS°

I don't know how to explain this one but basicaly, in Canada we have a batroom with all in it (shower, sink, toilet). In Reunion the washroom and the toilet are in separated rooms, which is kind of smart because if you want to use the toilet you don't have to wait for someone to get out of the shower.

°BREAD°

This one makes me laugh! When I first got here I asked Elijah for bread so I can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. He said that he had some, I was happy lol. He came back at me with a "Baguette" which is a french loaf of bread. If you need bread this is what you're going to get !

°SUGAR°

In America we have brown sugar but we mostly use white sugar. In Reunion they make their own sugar because they have a lot of sugar canes, they call it "Red Sugar".

°CLOSETS°

In Canada we have multiple closets. Normal closets, sliding closets, walking closets, you name it. In Reunion they dont have those. They use clothes cabinets.
