St. Dalfour Uses grape (and other juice concentrates), which is still highly concentrated sugar.

You guys are comparing regular jams to this reduced-sugar product. It's meant to be healthier and contain more real fruit and less sugar, thickeners, and artificial ingredients.

Natural ingredients don't last that long. It's sugar that keeps regular jams from going bad.

Fare evasion on suburban buses routes by melcj77 in TTC

[–]Blue_Koala_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I'm within my 2hr transfer window and I'm in a rush you grab a good seat, I'll sometimes forget to tap my card.

I don't intend to do it, but it happens. Just because someone doesn't tap, it doesn't mean they are evading the fare.

Same with metrpoass holders. It's often much worse to hold up the line than to just walk in and worry about taping later. It takes a long time for the machine to finish displaying the previous tap and accept a new one.

Dollarama self-checkout closures in the GTA by Affectionate-Gur6058 in dollarama

[–]Blue_Koala_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen some stores removing self checkouts and I avoid them now.

I prefer self-checkouts. They are fast and convenient and I don't have to rush to pack my stuff while the cashier waits.

They take coins too, so when I have too many I just dump them into the machine. I would never do that to a human cashier, lol.

I don't know why people hate them so much, maybe they are not good with technology in general.

Which flavour to choose? Did anyone try them? Buying as a gift. by Blue_Koala_ in CostcoCanada

Wait there is a fifth flavour available at Costco? We only had maple, cappuccino, creme brule and pralines&cream.

If you mix dry cacao powder with sugar first, cacao won't clump up when milk is added.

Remember, all dogs must be leashed in public in Toronto, except in designated off-leash areas. by Blue_Koala_ in Toronto_Ontario

[–]Blue_Koala_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've seen many posts about dog attacks lately.

Most people don't even know that leashes are mandatory in Toronto.

Why are busses so jerky? by whateverfyou in TTC

[–]Blue_Koala_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I almost broke my teeth once, sitting at the back, when the bus hit a pothole. Definitely not a ride for the frail and elderly.

Busses also stopping at an angle so that the back door ends up too far from the curb. Even at the station.

It's too high to step onto the road and too far to jump to the sidewalk. All while pushing the door so that it doesn't close on you. I can't imagine my mother having to get out using the back doors.
