Holy shit, almost all of those things are true for me.

I've seen people get milk in bags and always thought WTF? I get mine in cartons and jugs.

And I think I have Canadian Tire money in every drawer in my house.

And thrills do taste like soap, but their really good.

It's spelt Toque, not tuque here.

I have so seen Jodie from Today's special on CBC!! That freaked me out a few years back! I loved todays special with Jeff the manican. They used to ahev so much fun.
