Pringles - Cheese and Onion Potato Chips. My grandmother, Ruby,
Used to give my sister and I Pringles chips when we were kids. Ruby
lived through the Halifax
Explosion. Which was the largest man made explosion until Hiroshima
was almost vaporized by an Atomic
Bomb during World
War II.
Pop Tarts - Cherry and Cream Cheese Danish. I wonder if it's really
from Denmark?
Like Hamlet
(I love Shakespeare).
Carol has been there. I'll ask her.
Starbucks Coffee - Vanilla Frappuccino. I used to work with John
Murchie (of Murchie's
Teas). He told me about knowing the guys who started Starbucks
and where the logo and name came from. Apparently, Star was a secretary
in their offices who did something that rhymes
with buck. Is the mermaid in the logo holding her tail in the air
or could it be...legs? hmmmmm.
A woman from Timmins,
Ontario wins the Ice Sculpture competition at the Winter Carnival
every year (Thanks for the picture Pilar). This year's entry pays homage to the FDNY
firefighters who died trying to save others
on September
11, 2001 at the WTC.
There's even a web
camera constantly watching Ground Zero now.
