Random fact for my fellow Canadians....
On your next U.S. roadtrip, stop at any variety store or gas bar and ask the clerk for ketchup flavoured chips. You'll get a blank stare in return as the confused clerk wonders, "Who in the right mind would want KETCHUP flavoured chips?" Apparently, only Canadians!
It's what I learned about a year ago while watching a Jays game on TV when Pat Tabler, the colour commentator who happened to be American, said he had never heard of ketchup flavoured chips until his Canadian play-by-play partner, Jamie Campbell, had mentioned it. Jamie was jokingly saying that those chips were one reason why Corey Koskie was glad to be back in Canada. Of course, Mr. Koskie would now need his Ketchup chips shipped to Milwaukee.
