And, to prove my Canadianosity

[thebitterguy]

I had Ketchup chips for lunch.

Fucking perversion.

That and milk in bags I will never be able to accept.

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

What is this now?

[thebitterguy]

Milk comes in bags.

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

That's...

... weird.

And holy fuck you guys pay a lot for milk! Even allowing for rate conversion, size conversion, and cost of living conversion, you're paying almost twice what I pay for milk, the best I can figure.

[thebitterguy]

$4 for 2.4 Gallons is a lot?

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

Is that what it works out to? The website said 3 liters in a package. 3 liters is 0.7925162 gallons. That's $4 for not even a gallon, whereas I pay $2 for 1 gallon. Am I wrong?

[anidada.livejournal.com]

There are 4L in a package of 3 bags.

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

So, a little over a gallon for the whole package?

[thebitterguy]

Looks like it; the original website said a bag was .8 of a gallon, but that math may be off.

So it's 1.05 US Gallons. I blame Milk Price Supports.

Love it or leave it, Yankee!

Oh, hey, do you still have those books?

[brand-of-amber.livejournal.com]

Yep, I've got em in my coffee table.

And I do love it. I just don't love your kinky Canadian perversions. Its cool to live in a country with legal prostitution, marijuana, and baby seal killing -- but milk in bags is just wrong.

[thebitterguy]

Now that we're doing soy milk in cereal we might be able to scale down to cartons. How terribly civilized.

p.s. Check your LJ inbox, I sent you a message.

Ah, but "...the commercial hunt of nursing seal pups is banned in Canada." (http://www.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/seal-phoque/reports-rapports/facts-faits/factsheet_e.htm)

I'm just waiting for the day when I can pick up a 4L bag of pot at Shoppers.

[thebitterguy]

I just boggled at the thought of what that would go for.

You'll probably need to buy it at the LNCBO, in any case.

[adamjury.livejournal.com]

The great thing is you don't need to accept milk in bags; cartons or jugs FTW, baby.

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

Those are prolific in Iraq. They weren't as bad as I thought they would be, as the ketchup flavor wasn't that pronounced, but I still didn't like 'em.

[indefatigable42.livejournal.com]

An acquaintance of mine went to Turkey a few years back and said everyone over there was crazy about them.

[thebitterguy]

I'm fond of them. Reminds me of when my mom would make chips on Fridays to go with the broiled fish.

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

Oh see, now, if you'd had All-Dressed chips for lunch, I'd be more jealous... ;-)

Which reminds me, it's about time for us to make another grocery run for the border.

[willow-kat.livejournal.com]

It's still mind-baffling to me that you can't get ketchup chips in the States. Or Mars bars (the normal kind - I've found almond ones before, but not standard ones).

[fossilapostle.livejournal.com]

Ah! THAT explains why I'm the only person in the United States who likes them...

[thebitterguy]

I knew you had some Canadian carefully concealed inside you.

[kartusch.livejournal.com]

I love Canada, I do but that is vile. Now I wish I was back close enough to make a run for some Canadian candy though...

[jesshartley.livejournal.com]

I LURVE ketchup chips! Like, bought a case last time I was in Canada, and my family scarfed them in a few weeks.

Not much chance of getting them, as close as I am to the southern border at this point.

*smiles*

For some reason, they tasted better when I was a youngin'. I still eat them, though, if only to prove I am Canadian from time to time. [I draw the line at vinegar on fries - blech!]

[thebitterguy]

Heavens! My wife also eschews vineager on her fries, but I love it. Salt, vineager & some ketchup is good eatin'!

[deven-science.livejournal.com]

If you can, get ahold of Some Dude's Fry Sauce (http://somedudesfrysauce.com/store/). Heaven.

[zenten.livejournal.com]

I hope you had more than chips, no matter how yummy those are.

Although I still miss the old recipe Hostess ones, the new ones have far too little ketchup powder.

[thebitterguy]

I did have my lunch on my break, since my break happens at 11 and I'm hungry by then, so that was mostly a snack.
