What's up with Canadians and ketchup flavored foods?

you mean we will go back to the 4L plastic jugs we used to buy? The ones you pay a deposit on so you can bring it back for the quarter? Those jugs were recycled.

That would not be a bad idea. They should do that with everything imo. Even pop. You pay extra for it but can bring back the bottle/jug etc for deposit.

we used to do that for pop back in the 1970's.

We do that in a lot of places in the states but it can be a huge PITA. Return machines broken or full all the time. And the store doesn't have to take it if they don't sell it. Not a big deal for soda but it's another PITA for beer. You have to remember which store you bought it from AND hope the barcode was entered correctly by the store. We just throw most of our beers in municipal recycling because the deposit isn't worth the effort

Yeah I can recall when there used to be bottle-redemption centers all over the place but as costs have gone up over the years almost all have shut down.

Connecticut is trying to up the bottle-deposit to make it more worth doing.
