Yes, Canadian Thanksgiving is actually older than the USA's and has nothing to do with Pilgrims.
I'm really don't get Americans Thanksgiving to be honest, I understand why but our Thanksgiving is meant for the harvest festival
Thanksgiving was a thing in Canada before it was a thing in the US. It makes more sense to have it in October because that's when the harvest is finished. By November, it'll have snowed in most of Canada.
That's the most untrue statement on the internet.
Ketchup chips are actually the 2nd most popular in Canada. The number 1 most popular flavour is All Dressed
I am Canadian and it's called the great White North because it's always covered in snow
Except it isn't always covered in snow like people think.
Non-Canadians look at a bag of milk, and wonder Why would you want to keep a liquid in a container with no firm structure? The answer is: Before opening them (snipping off a corner with scissors), we put the bags in these standard (& re-useable) molded plastic jugs that hold them snuggly & securely upright. The advantage to bags is: _much_ less waste packaging than disposable jugs or waxed/plasticky cartons. And by the way, the bags are pretty tough, so they don't leak unless they've _really_ gotten banged around.
Bagged milk also stays fresher longer. If you open a 4L carton, you have 5 - 7 days before it goes bad. with bagged milk, you only open 1.33L at a time.
@@mrbaddog4749 I guarantee if you have boys in the house, it won't last more than two days....🥛😋
they are tough, droppped a few by accident from the countertop to the floor and it never burst, the same happened with cardboard or plastic 2L and they burst everytime..
Never seen a plastic bag milk. Think it's an Ontario or Eastern Canada thing I think. Definitely not in the west.
@@Peabodyout I've never heard this, I assumed it was a pan-Canadian thing! Can someone else from Western Canada confirm this??
I used to drink a lot of milk as a kid and it was in bags. Now I don't drink so much and buy the smaller cartons but I much prefer the bags. For the larger amounts of milk, the bags are way better than the big jugs we used to use in the 70s before metric and the bags came in.
Every year at the Santa Clause parades the kids give trot letters to Santa. North Pole Canada, HOHOHO
The Canadian post offices receive millions of letters Canada wide. There’s nothing greater at Christmastime as when your child receives a letter back from Santa with the help of his elves. Their smiles say it all. To , Santa Claus, North Pole, Hohoho. This is one address that a child never forgets. The American Christmas shows always have children sending letters to Santa.
Technically, it's H0H 0H0, as in letter-number-letter, number-letter-number.
And I can't believe an American has _never_ written a letter to Santa Claus. You must have lead a sheltered life...
The milk bag is actually placed in a holder and the corner snipped off.
Canadians also tend to enjoy All Dressed chips which is also pretty exclusive to Canada I do believe. It's basically every flavour in one. Not one of my favourite though.
There are very few places that have bagged milk anymore. It's basically just some parts of Ontario and Quebec. In BC they stopped using bagged milk in the 80s
Except that it's also in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland and Labrador. However it is by far the third choice behind Milk in Cartons and Milk in Plastic Jugs
Nope BC had bagged milk in the 90's
I'll never understand why non-Canadians think ketchup chips are so strange. Chips are deep fried potato parts just like French fries and what is the most popular condiment for French fries? Ketchup should have been the first and most obvious flavour for chips.
@dougs6433 I understand your sentiment. The problem is that ketchup flavored chips don't taste like ketchup at all. Its just a mixed spice/chemical concoction put on chips.
@@RobRochonI agree that it doesn't really taste like ketchup but most of the reactions thinking that it's weird are before people try them. So, it's the concept that throws them off... which is odd to me.
"Great White North" was a phrase used by the characters Bob and Doug Mackenzie [Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas] in the SCTV comedy show that ran in the early 1980s. Moranis and Thomas were making fun of the most embarrassing Canadian cultural cliches, and since the show was aired in the U.S., the phrase caught on, even more with Americans than Canadians.
I think it pre-dates Bob and Doug actually. It's white (in winter), it's north (duh!) and it's great. As all Canadians know. 😉🇨🇦
@@sadee1287nope it came from SCTV
@@sadee1287I prefer your way.
Happy birthday!
Lol…Lays Ketchup can be found in most stores here in Belgium, but is not so popular.
Milk in bags is only in a couple of provinces, . Bagged milk is considered more environmentally friendly.
Every summer Lytton BC is often the hottest place in North America. Usually 2 or 3 days a year
Actually milk in bags is an Eastern Canada thing? We don’t have bags in Alberta , BC or Saskatchewan not Manitoba! I think it’s common in Ontario maybe Quebec again not sure about the Maritimes?
Another thing we have not had Pennie’s for 10 to 15 years as it costs almost two cents to make one and people just toss then as they are a nuisance! L
I like our money too. Americans are always making fun of it calling it Monopoly money but the colours make it easier to use, need $5 bucks it’s the blue one. It’s also waterproof, tear resistant and hard to counterfeit.
Coupla benefits of bagged milk - takes up less room in the fridge, easier for little hands (they can pour their own) and you can freeze them. The original reason though was changing from Imperial to Metric.
I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. I've never seen bagged milk in my entire life, I've only seen cartons and maybe a jug of milk
You must be young or live around the bay. They tried bagged milk I think in the 80’s? Like the double daylight savings time it did not last long.
watchmojo is a channel I watched a few times in the past. It is one of the channels that taught me to ignore the top 10 bs.
Good to know now 😂
I sing my National Anthen in both languages. I am Canadian
If you didn't know, you don't have to live in canada to mail letters to Santa 🎅 I believe he will reply 😅
I live in BC and there is a little bit of a tradition for the last ski of the season where everyone skis while dressing for the spring
ketchup used to be available in UK along with Marmite.
And Worcestershire sauce.
Did you know that Marmite also make their own cracker breads? How cool are Marmite!!
@@daftphil9706 there are times that Worcestershire sauce crisps(chips) just hit the spot.
@@yammybobo And Hedgehog flavour. But I think that was a scam. 🙄
But what's sad is the demise of Phineas Fog snacks. OMG ..
Question: does Marmite and Vegemite taste the same? Not sure I'm brave enough to try either. Would try Horlicks if they made a sugar free version.
15:30 "Why do you put [milk] in a bag?" It's just another type of container. There's a plastic pitcher to drop the bag in for pouring. We have cartons too (glass bottles... not as much. They kind of went away with glass coke bottles). The thing is, the bag milk is usually bought 4L at a time, so it's an economical choice for, say, a family of 4-5 people who go through a lot of milk and aren't so concerned with it spoiling before it can be used up. Also restaurants, who likewise go through a high volume quickly. Bachelors like myself stick to the cartons that can be tightly resealed to stay fresh longer.
12:30 "Canadian Thanksgiving". It's really very simple. Gratitude theme aside, it's a harvest festival, and being farther north, we have a shorter summer and a longer winter. The main harvest season is therefor earlier. That's pretty much it.
In Germany, Thanksgiving is always on a Sunday in October and celebrated in the church-communities.
5:00 "Don't think I'd get as cold waist down as waist up." She's right, though it's more like thighs-down. Keeping your core and extremities warm and dry does most of the work keeping you from freezing. The halfway points between? Not as crucial. You notice that mailman isn't running around without his heavy boots and thick coat.
Same way you can wear a hat but leave your face exposed (up to a certain point, of course. Trust me, when it actually gets to -30 or lower, that mail carrier will be done up like mummy.)
A Caesar is the quintessential Canadian cocktail
I didn't know for a long time that Americans didn't really go into Cuba, obviously I knew about thier past history, we were taught "WORLD" history growing up not just Canadian history, but yes Cuba is one of our favorite destinations to go on holidays
50% of tourists to Cuba are Canadians. There was a bit of a lull during the COVID shutdown, but things are back to normal.
Canada is the definition of the north,that is why we are called the great white north.
Exactly. Not because we are all white. Considering Canada is one of the most diverse countries
Bagged milk is almost exclusively in Ontario but as a jud we'd get bagged milk from Mac's Convenience stores here in BC
6:30 "Canadian currency an old term for it is the Loony" Uh... not any older than 1987, as you just heard, that's when we introduced the coin with the loon on it to replace the paper dollar bill. It's still term for the $1 coin itself, but the currency is still and likely always will be "dollars". "Give a bum a looney". "Your car costs $40,000 dollars" and so on...
I have never heard a Canadian call chips crisps ever
Interesting to hear that you are interested in visiting British Columbia. There is only one rule that us BCers enforce, that is you must never talk about your visit here and how beautiful it is. The reason is that people intend to visit and never go home. Its truly a cross that we have to bare living in this part of the world.
In UK we used write letters to Santa then put them up our open fireplace chimneys,not many open fireplaces now though ❤
Yes, one year my brother did that but refused to tell our parents what he was asking for in the letter. They had no idea what he wanted. :)
Full of Dickensian children & théir brooms.,...............
@@CRINOTH Smart child! That's one way to trick mum and dad. :)
I love your cracker tradition! And roasted chestnuts. And walnuts steeped in port. Wow, now I wish I could spend Christmas in the UK... ☺
@@sadee1287 I didn't know about the walnuts in port one. Can't say I'm much of a nut fan. The Christmas cracker thing is great. In my family we believe in getting the cheapest ones possible, containing terrible jokes and tacky 'gifts' along with the obligatory crown. One year my grandad bought some really cheap ones and every cracker contained the same terrible joke. (What's the difference between a train and a tree? One leaves it's shed and the other sheds it's leaves.) My grandad was getting increasingly annoyed each time the joke appeared, the rest of us thought it was hilarious (not the joke, the situation I mean). :D
lol "no one's going skiing like that" people DO go skiing like that here. In the spring it gets warm enough to ski without a jacket or winter gear and there's still snow on the ground. It is a form a physical activity so you do work up a sweat! I've seen guys skiing in their underwear on the slopes.
Buddy, you seem to be a happy guy; you young lady seem to be about as happy as a prune. Sorry but you made the whole video look like you were just tolerating it.
Hm, we have ketchup-flavored chips in Germany.🤷♂ (And barbecue is not a flavor but a cooking method😅).
the most northern part of canada is within the arctic circle ..... the top of California is further north than the most southern part of Canada. temperatures can hit -40C in winter + 40C in the summers. summers are pretty much the same but winter is not the same weather from coast to coast. only 4 or 5 provinces get milk in a bag. and the video was correct for a change
Thanks for your reaction. Why great white north ?--bcs many people think that Canada is frozen all year round, so we got that nickname. ketchup chips=not really ketchup, but more red no. 12 and artificial flavor that taste more like a spice mix than ketchup. For milk in bags, it's more seen in Ontario & Québec provinces, but personally, I use regular cartons. To experience all of this, just cross the border and come visit us. Have a nice day, both of you.
I love bagged milk, it lasts longer and stays fresher longer.
Perhaps, but I'd rather not have the plastic chemical nonylphenol leaching into my milk, which even food grade plastics can have. Better safe than sorry.
You can take solace in the fact that ketchup isn't American in origin. Ketchup originates in Malaysia.
16:00 (Two official languages). Consider this for a moment. As we were unifying our collection of European-founded colonies into a single country, making French an official language alongside English was a concession we had to make to get the French colonies of Quebec to agree to join us.
In the USA, the comparable concession was... well... keeping slavery.
...I feel better about having to learn French in school now.
Santa is from Finland
Just the elves. 😂
Ei, joulupukkisi asuu metsässä. Pohjoisnavalla ei ole puita.
14:31, wow, she actually almost went full smile.
lol...yeah. This is my first time watching these kids too. I did too wonder if she always carries that negative vibe around.
I agree, ketchup is disgusting. I'm a Canadian who never eats it and I have never tried a ketchup chip. Also I have a client who wears shorts year round. It's very common to see people at the hockey games in Edmonton wearing shorts in the winter.
10 empty bags can fit in a pocket but Cartons are huge recycling bulk. Nice video ! Cheers from Beautiful BC.
LOL....our recycle has us wash/rinse and then deflate the cartons. Not too bulky that way.
Not sure who created the video you watched, but bagged milk is NOT all over Canada. Back in the 80s it was more common, but these days it's mostly just in Ontario. The rest of the country uses jugs (2L or 4L) or cartons.
And that demonstration was hilarious. You NEVER pour the milk INTO the jug -- you put the bag IN the jug, snipped the end with scissors and poured it out that way.
Milk in bags extends the shelf life of the milk.
7:35 The main difference between "V8 juice" and "clamato" is one of them has clams in it.
Yeeeaaah... that's not for everyone, in or out of Bloody Marys.
3:30 You seem very resistant to the idea of ketchup chips. It's not like tossing back a bottle of Heinz straight. Think more... "salty dried tomato". It actually complements the salty potato flavour pretty well, like pasta sauce on spaghetti.
I hate that milk in bags is always on these lists. Most of Canada does not use it.
I'm from Canada. British Columbia. I'm 50 yrs old and never really seen milk in a bag. Mostly eastern Canada Mostly had that I think
Milk in bags keeps the milk fresh longer as you get like 3 or 4 smaller portion bags in a bigger bag so only a small portion of the milk is exposed to external contaminants. Some people even freeze the extra bags... but those people are weird XD. All in all I prefer the bag method. Bagged milk is not done across the country though I live in Edmonton and bagged milk is not a thing here. Regarding the "Great white north" moniker my assumption is that we just get longer and more severe winters than most a you southern neighbours of ours ^_^. save Alaskans so it just stuck I can assure you we're not "all white" XD
The national anthem was NOT translated to English. The lyrics are two entirely distinct compositions having very little in common.
Canadians also invented Thanksgiving, not America.
We were called British America when Thanksgiving started
So we are so small, which is why you gave us the ice cube display. and the Qube above the left top is what you think of us?.
Yeah Caesar has clamato but also Tabasco and Worcestershire and rimmed with celery salt.
They failed in the video. The milk bag goes into the plastic containter and just cut the corner. Don't actually pour the bag of milk into the container.
To be fair, milk is also sold in cartons and plastic jugs and the younger generations mostly buy those as opposed to the plastic bags, but it is cheaper in bags. It's good for people and families that drink alot of milk because you can't really close the bags, so you need to get through it quick once it's opened. 1 bag is 1 litre or about 1/4 of a gallon.
More like it's not good. Who wants to drink from an open container? Whatever floats your boat. Personally I prefer cartons.
@@sadee1287 Like I said, mostly good for families who drink alot of milk. When I was a kid, we'd go through a bag each meal... so it wouldn't stay open in the fridge for hours.
1) 1 bag of milk = 1.33333 litres of milk, as there are 3 bags per bag, not 4. 2) I regularly drink 4 litres of milk per week myself, so the bagged milk isn’t just for large families. 3) Bagged milk is available all over Quebec, most of Ontario (that I’m aware of), and at least part of the Maritimes. 4) Fun fact: My mom still gets her milk delivered by the milkman in the suburbs of Montreal.
You should come to BC. The parks are a famous tourist attraction (Banff and Jasper). Northern BC is where I live and Iv'e only been to the Parks a few times
Loners...but *not* alone! I *love* it!
We’re only nice to outsiders, we secretly treat each other like assholes 😐
The stupid bagged milk makes another appearance 🤦♀️ we don’t have this out west. It’s only some parts of the country that has it.
Bagged milk is only in Ontario and Quebec.
In BC we don’t have milk in bags.
Happy Birthday Linda
You are such a cute and funny couple.
New subscriber 🇬🇧
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻
Ketchup wasn't invented in the US. It was invented in Asia before your country was created
Happy birthday!🎉🎉
HAPPY BIRTHMONTH Linda!!!🥰😃
Happy Birthday. Only some provinces have bagged milk. Alberta stopped using bagged milk in the 80's. Our Thanksgiving has nothing to do with pilgrims, and is just a harvest celebration that started in the 1500's. Fun fact the Canadian Monarchy is the only Constitutional Monarchy in the Commonwealth that was first installed as a French Crown and not a British.
SNOW = Great White North
Wow.... The guy seems very interested and sympathetic. The woman seems disgusted and pathetic. I love the true response but she can %^## her self. No I did not enjoy this one bit. Her Idea of Canada disgusts me. No likes here. Surprised you can even be a couple. I really feel for you dude.
Just watched it again.... she disgusts me to no end!
She is so evil!
Agree but I’m not sure his interest is genuine, he’s constantly laughing at the video but in a “that’s so stupid” way. The chick has the typical American attitude of “we are the best at everything” the eye rolls and just the look on her face is totally mean girls. It’s like when a rich person looks down at the help. I don’t know why they do these videos, I’ve watched a couple and it’s basically the same thing, he laughs at something and then looks at her stone face. She looks like she’s just annoyed 24/7. I’m with you, no likes on this video. Not interested in wasting my time with anymore. Maybe they can consider this comment as a reaction to their reaction. 👎
She’s obnoxious. At least Canada has water proof money. He’s just as stupid. They should do their own research instead of copying someone else’s. They are both rude. 💯🇨🇦
Yeah. I was not a fan of the Canada is the Great White North because we are all white here. Go for a walk in Toronto and say that.
Ketchup is disgusting" but they said it didn't taste like ketchup :)
Why........?.........
You have to try Ketchup chips, they are the greatest
Ketchup is tomatoes!
Bags are more environmentally friendly
Ketupe is Ontario!
Milk in bags is an accident waiting to happen, in UK milk can be bought in cardboard cartons,it's so easy to pour it anywhere but in cup ,bowl etc ,but they are recyclable , that's good ,😮😮❤
Sending letters to Santa is hardly unique to Canada (who also send their letters to wrong country, as everyone in the world knows Santa lives in Finland) People all over the world send letters to Santa in Finland. We have Santa's post office in Rovaniemi.
Whatttt? Haha
While your "Joulupukki" may live in the woods -- as we all know the North Pole has no trees, so it can't be in Finland. Ehkä hän on vain lomalla Suomessa....ha ha!
Yet the Postal Code used in North America for letters to Santa is Canadian, H0H 0H0. Canadian volunteers send letters back from Santa as well
We might just have to go to war over this! haha!! Or at least have some kind of rap battle! ;-)
@@loners4life look up muscimol and you'll understand the flying reindeer.
You put ketchup on fries
11:35 Maybe go to Cuba before you assume to much about it? (Especially if all you know about it comes through the political filter of USA-based news programs?) Yes, the country on the whole is poor, and there is a fair amount of poverty there (certainly compared to the most of the tourists who can afford to visit the Caribbean on holiday) but their government actually provides a lot of important things free for them that the USA doesn't for their people. Like healthcare, and college.
Yeah, you heard me; The two things most likely to drive an American into lifelong, crippling debt are free to all residents in Cuba. You wanna be a doctor? Start studying, because your tuition is on El Presidente!
How bagged milk works - m.ruclips.net/user/shortsnuJa3leKZS0
I've seen milk bags in Ukraine
I"m sure you see a lot of our assets and money over there.
.
Brian, don't embarrass Lynda. Ladies hate it when you ask how young they are, and now you almost force those watching to ask her.
Milk in a bag is NOT just Canada. I know for fact, that this is common in Romania.
OLD!
Do you really have a birthday month 🤨? Happy birthday Linday but don’t know when? I’m born in September too, should I to party 🎉 🥳 🍷🥃 🍺🥂 all month long in the USA 🇺🇸 tradition ??!

Herr's ketchup potato chips Notingham PA
Happy Birthday Linda. This is the best month for a birthday, mine is this month too.
What happened to all in with Ari 😮 { video of what you guys think }
Wow it never surprises me to see an American reaction to something that isn't American :) The shock, (they are so different from us !) Maybe for future generations your education system might include other countries/cultures but we all know that will never happen :) This has been a very rare version of a Canadian and I apologize but Damn it your country has gone to shit over the the last few years and here you are laughing and joking about us? Peace and Love from Canada eh :) sorry :)
P.S. "Gone to shit" TRUMP!!! The entire world is shaking their heads as to WTF has happened to a country (literally formed by immigrants) to be on the urge of civil war over defending a wannabe spoiled man-child dictator?
ok------------------------------lets play hockey
Milk Ontario and Quebec
Happy birthday Linda
you in trouble now...
Wtf is a birthday month?
The video clip was interesting but would have been more so has the female half of the US hosting duo been less negative, less derogatory, and presented herself as just a little interested in the info offered. Too bad.
