Yuck....Fresca....

Tomato...

RE: Pounds and kilograms... Canada is pretty much entirely metric... although just about everyone asks for 2x4's at the lumber store... or a pound of salami at the grocery store... A lot of us...ahem...older people don't really care for the metric system that much... For example... if you want to brag about how hot it is out... it always sounds sort of pathetic and meaningless when you tell someone that it is 40 Celsius... but if you tell them it is over 100 F.... well, then you get some proper respect!
