Canadian in an American grocery store: the cereal aisle alone deserves its own postal code

Crossed over for a paddling trip and did the traditional pilgrimage to a giant US grocery store. An entire aisle of cereal. A cheese section with its own weather system. Seventeen kinds of ranch dressing, and I checked, because at some point it became a census. Came home with the classics: the cheaper gas station snacks, the weird sodas we can't get, and the humbling knowledge that our milk comes in bags and theirs comes in jugs the size of a canoe barrel. Neither system is wrong. Mine is just funnier.
