I guess some snacks have crossed over but they are still only found in the international foods section. A lot of people like the Korean cheetos and they are a little easier to come across.
I find Nanaimo Bars are pretty easy to find anywhere in BC mainly the LM and the island, gas stations, corner stores etc always have some to buy. McDonalds on the island have an exclusive Nanaimo Bar McFlurry, I guess the same way maritimes McDonalds have some lobster thing.

Over the last few years our McDonald's in Timmins and I think most locations across Ontario have offered some of the regional items found across Canada. I think it's done in June and July around Canada Day.
We've had the Nanaimo Bar sundae (I don't think it was a McFlurry), the McLobster and some other items. McDonald's advertised it as their "Great Canadian Taste Adventure."
Just found the list of items from 2015 and I think last year was almost the same:
Cottage Country Chicken (June 3 – 9)
Western BBQ Burger (June 10 – 16)
McLobster (June 17 – 30)
Maple and Bacon Poutine (June 3 – 30)
Chocolate Nanaimo Sundae (June 3 – 30)
