Quebec also eat snow with maple syrup

That’s actually normal though. The snow freezes it like a maple-y winter taffy kinda thing.

We got to do that on a field trip in like Grade 1 IIRC. And that was way up in “-30C normally during winter weather Northern Ontario”…not Quebec.

Eating horsemeat however…is just f***ed.

Maple syrup snow candy is candy in its simplest form. It's made by pouring boiling maple syrup on a clean bed of snow. The cold snow instantly stops the syrup from cooking, and cools it to the consistency of taffy in seconds.

We don't use snow that's been taken right from the side of the highway to do this.

You're definitely not a parent because if you were you'd know to pick your battles on that one lol

To do this, you literally get fresh snow outside from your yard. Ideally right after a snowfall.

Scoop some up in a lil’ pan or whatnot.

that's still disgusting

It’s pure, fresh, untouched snow dude.

Years ago people would melt that shit and drink and/or bathe in it.

might be a canada thing

in america there's too much pollution to eat fresh f***ing snow

Pretty sure this is still common in northern states that see a good accumulation of snow during the winter.

Why was the post about PNC Park removed? My opinion, its a matter of personal preference. You could also add Oracle Park in SF to the list.

Self-checkout at the grocery store was giving me and shit the checkout attendant could not possibly be any ruder to me.

I start typing broccoli, select the picture of broccoli, but the checkout says to set it aside and continue scanning.

I finish scanning, so I'm down to the broccoli. Try to ask the attendant for help and before I can even say what's wrong, she acts like I'm an idiot and condescendingly tells me to click on vegetables and then the picture of the broccoli.

So I try again and it tells me to set it aside again, but she didn't see it because she never even walked over to my checkout stand.

I go to ask for help again, she walks over in a huff, selects a different picture of broccoli, and it works.

Then I go to pay, and, of course, it tells me to wait for assistance, so the attendant had to come over again to let me proceed.

You could have just helped me, but no. So f*** you bitch, now you can deal with my f***ing complaint.

your problem is 1) not using frozen broccolli which is bagged and thusforth has a scan code already attached

so you like a rube pick "fresh" fruits and vegetables which those scanning machines suck with. that's why I almost never scan them. Some of them have stickers with the UPC code that you can scan, but for the most part you have to manually enter in codes for vegetables which is dumb.

"GO TALK TO SOMEONE BY USING THE NORMAL REGISTER"

No

I've never had problems ringing up unmarked produce before, as I'm not a dumbass and I know how to operate one of those space-age touch screens.

I'm not even annoyed at the self-checkout being shitty, I'm annoyed with the attendant not listening to my problem or helping me and then being an absolute bitch when I still needed her to help me.

Then why are you having trouble today, smart one

those machines suck for fresh produce I told you. That's why I always buy bagged apples or produce which have the upc code printed on them.

"MOVE YOUR BANANA TO THE STAND"

"PUT YOUR TOMOTO ON HERE"

"HOW MANY TOMATOES DO YOU HAVE"

"WHATS THE BAR CODE FOR THIS"

i don't f***ing know and i don't have time to check the catalog

meanwhile if you do this process at a cashier they will just scan the item and enter some code shit and it registers in a few seconds
