Nobody in Corpus Christi has heard of poutine because we're all slim, health-conscious people who only eat foods that are good for you. For that reason, the HEB's down here don't carry curds.
Only from people who watch too many Hollywood movies. (See "It's showtime!", "Walk with me", "I can explain", etc.) The same screenwriters' guildmembers cranking out the same unoriginal lines over and over.
In college, I used to go dumpster-diving at the end of each semester. Students have to leave the dorms and they throw out all kinds of stuff, including unopened non-perishables. Lots of unopened packs of Ramen, cans of soup, chili, etc. Girls throw out lots more than boys do. Rich college girls are really wasteful.
GMAC certainly weren't eager to answer phones or letters when I was getting foreclosed. Why should they? They were getting billions of bailout dollars! Plus they got my house. I got squat.
