You just drop off your prescription through the drive through window and go pick it up an hour later, through the drive through window. That way, you don't have to stand in line at the pharmacy with the sick people.

Do you know how far I have to drive for poutine dammit? We need more enterprising Canadians around here. Or Americans who cater to Canadians, or poutine chefs, or something.

We just have http://dairybelleicecream.com

With all the Quebecois snow birds down there, you'd think poutine would be everywhere.

The other day I met some cool people from Ottawa. I mentioned hockey (of course) and then poutine. The son is a chef and he was surprised about the lack of poutine and was going to look into some possibilities of offering it somewhere here, so he says.

And man, was he hot!! I even let him ride my Strida bike, which is what started the conversation. Thank you http://strida.com

Now if only someone would carry Diet Stewarts Root Beer.

I haven't even tried it. I typically don't like cherry drinks but that could be interesting.

Bought a pack of this one week ago, didn't bother opening it until right now. I know, 5 Gum has overused the "various fruit" flavor (Lush, React, React 2) but this stuff tastes way better than the rest. The package says "an energizing fruit flavor" and I think I know why, because it tastes like an energy drink. It has that distinctive guarana/taurine taste alongside a sweet-citrusy flavor. Very good combination. I'm hoping they release this stuff in Canada sometime in June, which is when they typically release new flavors.

Picked up a bunch of these when I was in the US a few weeks ago, I like them with my Soda Stream. Just a light touch of flavour.

You know the month when a gum manufacturer typically releases new flavours?

Talk about a man that likes his gum.

You do not know how ticked off I was when I could not find the new flavor of Extra Dessert Delights anywhere while I was in Hawaii.

I picked up a couple of these chocolate bars when I was in Hawaii last week, these are awesome. Anyone know if they have seen these in Canada?

I thought Dr. Pepper was already supposed to be cherry-flavoured. Isn't it?

Doesn't Superstore sell it? I thought I saw a small jar in either their foreign foods aisle, or the aisle where the spreads and jams are. I think it was under the name "Marmite"?

I am looking for some "Warheads" sour candies. Is there a candy store in Calgary that stocks these?
