Trivia:

Though many references are made to Fez's country of origin, it has never been named.

Goofs:

Factual errors: The original plan to go to Canada without Kelso or Leo doesn't make any sense: As established in the episode earlier in the second season, "Halloween", Kelso is the only one of the kids who's over 18, and therefore is the only one old enough to buy beer in Canada. If they had gone without him, they wouldn't have been able to buy any beer in the first place.

Quotes:

Eric: Okay, guys. Road trip checklist. Car: Check. Okay. We're good.
Fez: Is there anything about Canada we need to know before we get there?
Steven Hyde: Well, the beer is stronger, and as a result, their women look prettier.
Fez: Then let's haul ass to Canada!
Eric: Okay. Shh. Fez. If my dad finds out that we're going to Canada uh, for beer, no less, he's gonna start killing people, okay? People like us. So keep it down.
Michael Kelso: [Runs up to the guys] All right! Canada! Whoo-hoo! Beer!
[blows his horn]
Eric: Kelso, you're not going.
Michael Kelso: What? Why not?
Steven Hyde: Because this is a risky mission and you tend to screw these things up.
