Since Jif came back to Canada the only thing I stick up on are no sugar brownie mixes. I can't be bothered to get up and find the brand but it comes in a blue box.
Funny side story..
About a year ago (I don't remember the thread) I was on a thread and it dissolved into everyone placing orders for things they wanted me to bring from Canada. I was up to about ten crates of stuff..and a moose. That was a fun thread.
Blue box is likely Pillsbury.
That is hilarious. I have seen moose the last two times I have been back...and that is not counting our visits to see Mac the Moose (the world's largest moose)! I never considered bringing one back though!
Separate side story...So you know how in Canada you can buy Costco-sized jars of Cheez Whiz and it is a product that few households are without? Well, it never really struck me, given that we don't ever buy the stuff, but in the U.S., Cheez Whiz just comes in these little jars that would hardly do a family a meal. I burst out laughing when I saw the huge jar at Costco when we were there. I wouldn't have thought anything of it when I was living in Canada, but the stark contrast to the sizes available in the U.S. was comical in my mind.
Second separate side story...my son received some hand-me-downs from my sister's kid when we were back. One of the items was a pair of Winnipeg Jets pj's. I will think of you every time he wears them.
