As Skippy Yanked from Shelves, Canada Goes Nuts - newser.com
Excerpt from this article:
"Skippy peanut butter has been yanked out of the Canadian marketplace by
parent company Hormel, whose spokesman laments the 'incredibly difficult
decision' to discontinue the brand there, leaving just a few, if any,
jars on store shelves, per the CBC.
Even though Skippy is still available in more than 60 other countries,
including next-door in the States, Hormel says it wasn't doing well in
Canada on the competition and pricing fronts....It's expensive to spread Skippy across Canada's wide
expanse to reach its relatively small population of 36 million."

That's OK. That will just give our friends to the North one more reason to come and do their shopping in the States! (Where Skippy is still available!)

My favorite Canada song is:
Classified - Oh...Canada!
The other O Canada is OK too! (Or if you prefer Barbershop, check out This version of O Canada!)
