@npub14qr…hf6f @npub1w0s…ef8u The store has lots of stuff, especially hot foods/bakery so it's fun to look around. I tried the ketchup last night and it's different than Heinz. It's darker in colour. I now have *three* open ketchup bottles in the fridge of different brands so I'll have to do a taste test and compare them. It passed the dinner test last night, but I can't rate it without trying the others at the same time 😝

We need a Canadian condiment company!

I will say classic beetles don't really have much trunk space. No room for strollers or hockey gear or whatever. But hatchbacks are great for that. Hardly anyone make station wagons anymore, which is what families actually need. The only cars are sedans and then you have to get an SUV. Sigh.

Yeah, that one rates well, but it's chemical not mineral. People really love it though. Made in Canada too! I just prefer mineral sunscreens. They're just harder to wear.

Air isn't bad enough so someone is outside cutting grass with a gas mower.

25 years and I'm still having to scroll down websites looking for store locations in Nepean, Ottawa, Kanata etc instead of all of them just being Ottawa.

I suspect it's pre-tariff branding based on what they learnt from the ketchup situation. Heinz could maybe have got away with moving manufacturing to the US if they continued to use Canadian tomatoes. But they didn't and nearly killed the tomato farms. French's saved the farms. Might as well advertise Canadian agriculture when selling to Canadians.
