This McDonald’s branch in QC is now showing calorie counts
November 28, 2025
Earlier this year, the QC government announced that they’ve signed the rules and regulations for an ordinance requiring restaurants to display their food’s calorie counts on their menus.

This rice seller came up with some interesting names for his products
May 8, 2019
While in Fairview, I drove past a rice store and absolutely had to pull over to take a picture of the names the vendor gave to each variety of rice he’s selling. Vendors are no longer supposed to specify the variety of rice, but this one got creative by coming up with different names to […]
