They're not the most common snack anymore, the only place I see them here is vending machines.

Yea...it's weird. I had them about 3 or 5 years ago...

They've always had Hickory sticks in AB. I didn't mind them though they were generally not a first choice. You usually found them in the same places you'd find Maynard's Wine Gums (which tasted like ass).

Blasphemy! I feel like I grew up on wine gums.

Also can confirm that hickory sticks were everywhere growing up in Alberta. I didn't really care for them except as a topping on hot dogs.

I just bought a bag of Hickory Sticks for the first time in a decade or two. They were as good as I remembered them.

I crave Smartfood. Does that disgust anyone?

Smartfood. Lol. I love how they marketed themselves as a healthier alternative to chips. I don't dislike smartfood but the only time I eat popcorn is if I'm watching a movie.

I remember those masterpieces from the 60s /70s; unfortunately things haven't really improved.

I've had to deal with that architectural conglomerate and it wasn't pleasant. It doesn't surprise me that they are in such an ugly building.

I don't really know anything about Andrew Scheer and apparently no one else does either. Here's a pretty funny article from the Beaverton.

Although one might have views about the smiley face, I'm not sure why you posted that in this thread.

I can't tell if this is tacky or not, because I love it so much.

A tiny little house with all the trimmings of a (locally) upper class house, the white one at far right:

Does it read to outsiders like something with fake statues?

Because half the people I've confessed I love this house to laugh at me. But it's the dream to me - even the location is perfect.
