What's living the Canadian dream?

Follow instructions of company HQ in America with a lunch break at Starbucks, Subway or MacDonald's. Leave work, stop off and pick up a few things at Wal Mart, Home Depot or Bed Bath and Beyond. Head back to your suburb which could be mistaken for any American suburb, picking up pizza at Pizza Hut or Dominos or maybe chicken from Popeye's or Church's (Patriots will stop at Boston Pizza because they're Canadian). Eat dinner and settle down for a few hours of American TV or order up the latest Hollywood blockbuster on Netflix while enjoying a bottle of Bud, Coors Light or PBR. Before bed, go online to listen to American music streaming site while scanning for news of our new, American style justice system or the latest cost overruns on our order of American F 35 fighters. Buy theatre tickets to see Chicago or Jersey Boys on the weekend. Email friends regarding this year's Superbowl party. Go to bed and dream of upcoming vacation in California or Florida while making a note to put Canadian flags on every single piece of luggage. After all, as a smug Canadian, you wouldn't want to be mistaken for an American would you?

End of thread! Well done!

The "blend" they use--if you can call it that--seems like it is specifically designed to complement the double cream and sugar that will be requested by 99.9999875% of their customers. Without that, it tastes like hot fresh dog's p1ss.

As far as inexpensive cuppa, McDonald's coffee is surprisingly better tasting, even when ordered black (which btw is always a good test when looking for a decent coffee).

That must be it - no cream or sugar to mask the doggy ammonia LOL. I drink mine with 2% milk and no sugar. Totally agree that McDonald's coffee is way better tasting.
