So my beloved little homeland/province made the weird but true section of the New York Post :D:D

http://www.nypost.com/seven/05052008/news/weirdbuttrue/weirdbuttrue.htm


For years when people went to the mainland they would bring back cans. I talked to my mum tonight and she said people were having can parties... couldn't even keep the stuff on the shelf. :o

I swear it isn't as backwards as it sounds :p

    Residents of Prince Edward Island, Canada, popped their tops after a 35-year ban on aluminum cans was lifted and they were finally able to enjoy fizzy drinks from the containers Saturday.

    The cans had been banned from the province to preserve jobs at a local bottling plant.

    I don't pop my cork for every guy I see! ;):p:D
    NOPE!!!

    Hold on to the thread

    Crazy hey, girls??? :D Some people loved that we didn't have cans... oh wait that didn't sound right :p

    I can't believe it was thirty five years... I could have sworn I remembered them???? I guess not.

    But eventually the Seaman family sold the bottling plant when he retired. Oh well I guess even progress comes to PEI... just wait until they get the internet :p
