Canada was the first foreign market the U.S.-based fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's entered. They opened their first Canadian location in British Columbia in 1967. McDonald's became the largest foodservice operator in Canada by 1981. They maintained that position until 2005 when they were overtaken by Canadian coffee and doughnut fast food restaurant Tim Hortons. 

The popular McDonalds menu, the McFlurry, originated in Canada. It was first served at a McDonald's in Bathurst, New Brunswick, in 1995 and was being served at McDonald's across Canada within two years.
 

Yellow background with purple and orange text. An illustration of a character with an orange head holding a pink drink is to to the left of the text and across its chest reads "Hugh Corkscrew" and on its cape "Popov (illegible)"

Popov is a grain-based vodka, which is sold at a low price point and marketed for mixed drinks. It controls a significant market share of the vodkas sold in the United States and competes with other vodkas in the low range price niche. For some time, Popov was produced by Heublein, which was an American producer and distributor of alcoholic beverages. The company is credited for popularizing vodka in the United States after it acquired the rights to Smirnoff Vodka in 1938.

The Wrangler Wracing Team operated in the Formula 5000 league from its founding in 1967 until the league went defunct in 1976. During the bulk of their existence, the Wrangler team cars were driven by Randy Lewis. They competed in the Formula A division, which was made to compete against Formula 500’s F1 division. The two divisions were nearly identical, with the FA division featuring cars of a slightly heavier build. Eventually, a depressed economy led to a lack of sponsors for the league, which quickly transitioned its resources to another division, ending the Formula A division.

Keno is a gambling game played with cards or tickets that is similar to a lottery. Players pick numbers from a set range, the house calls numbers from the range, and a player can receive a payout based on how many numbers match. Typically, the range goes from 1-80, a player will pick up to ten numbers within the range, and the house will call twenty numbers. The game is believed to have come from China, the earliest references from 1847 when the Portuguese government at Macau licensed lottery operators. Chinese immigrants brought the game with them to America. The Chicago American advertised their Keno contest in Midwestern newspapers in February 1959. $21,000 were given away weekly as prizes with no subscription or entry fee required and no minimum age.

The Oh Henry! candy bar is made with peanuts, caramel, and chocolate and was introduced by the Williamson Candy Company in 1920. It is mistakenly believed to be named after the famous baseball player Hank Aaron. Oh Henry! is actually named for a young man named Henry who regularly visited the Williamson Candy Store.  As the story goes, Henry was friendly with the female clerks who were worked there, and Mr. Williamson frequently overheard the young ladies saying, “Oh, Henry.” Mr. Williamson thought it was a good name for a candy bar and trademarked the name.
