I always use the self-checkouts as there is rarely ever a lineup. The WORST is when someone doesn't put their cloth bags on the bagging platform at the beginning. So they scan each item, place it on the bagging platform and then at the end of their transaction you have to stand there and wait for them to load it all off the platform into their bags one item at a time. It's so frustrating as it could have gone right from the scanner into the bag!

I once found a cigarette butt in the bottom of my poutine from a chip truck.
I am thankful that I spotted it before it made it's way into my mouth, but it was still incredibly disgusting to see.

Here in Canada we also drink 'pop'. 'Soda' means club soda. Either way, pop, soda, soda-pop, carbonated beverage, soft drink...they're all good with me. Stay outta here soda-haters...we already face enough judgment for our soda indulgence!

-Pork chops frying in a pan.
-Curry
-Garlic
-The olive stand at the grocery store
-Canned peas

Thanks for your input. How will I tell if they have started to ferment?

I have a co-worker that eats the same thing for lunch everday. A number of things drive me crazy about this:
1) She goes to the cafe next door and buys a carton of chocolate milk for $2.75 everyday. For the life of me, I can't figure out why she wouldn't just buy a large carton from the grocery store for the same price and leave it in the fridge which will cover her lunches for the week.
2) She either microwaves a horrid smelling Michaelina's chinese fried rice frozen meal or eats a peanut butter sandwich on wonder bread.
3) She buys a small bag of Doritos from the vending machine for lunch everyday. Again...if you are going to eat them everyday why not just buy a big bag?!
This woman is in her 50's and eats like a teenager. These things probably shouldn't bother me so much as they do, but in an office of only 7 people, coworkers tend to get on each other's nerves a lot!

Baked beans and creamy coleslaw come to mind.
Also:
- Crushed bbq potato chips
- Pickled asparagus
- good ol' Cheez Whiz

The only brand tested that I recognize as being available in Canada is the Skippy. Kraft peanut butter (jar with the two teddy bears on the label) is by far the most popular brand here in Canada. They also make a whipped version now which my dog seems to like because it is less sticky and easier to get out of her Kong toy, lol.

At KFC here in Canada, they also have fries, not biscuits. I eat at KFC about once every 2 years...last time I gave in to a craving I was thoroughly disappointed. The chicken pieces were tiny and barely had any meat on them It was basically just bones covered in coating. I do enjoy their odd-looking macaroni salad though..and the bright, almost-neon green coleslaw! Too bad about the chicken though...I remember it being good when I was a kid in the early 90s.

Breaded & fried zucchini sticks are my absoulte favourite restaurant appetizer. If they are on the menu, I have to order them.
A few more ideas:
-Fried mozzarella
-Stuffed jalapeno peppers
-Spring rolls
-Potato skins
-Bruschetta
-Stuffed mushrooms

Forgot to mention coffee and tea (both hot and iced tea)

I drink diet pop, and the only one I have seen in a diet version at the grocery store is A&W. While it is quite good, on the rare occasion I have a non-diet rootbeer Barq's is by far my rootbeer of choice. According to their website they make a diet variety but I have never seen it anywhere. Anywhere in Canada that is...but I suppose you could tell I was Canadian by my use of 'pop' and not 'soda', lol.

Can someone explain how you get the carbonator refills in Canada? From the sounds of it they do not ship refills to Canada because of Transport regulations or something...
