pineapple crush? as in orange crush, etc? i've seen that one time here, in wal-mart of all places. they're the only place i've seen here that sells any flavour of the crush sodas.
We need photographic evidence!
Yeah, can you fedex it to me in time for my Christmas party on Tuesday?
I googled it and came across a facebook page for Newfoundlanders and their beloved pineapple crush!!
I just learned there's a store near my house called "The Newfie store" so surely they must stock it...
That’s great news! Hopefully that place carries it. Meeting that Tuesday deadline would be a stretch for me.
I actually had no idea that Pineapple Crush was as beloved here as it appears to be! There must be pockets of Newfoundlanders who crave the stuff--maybe it becomes a community thing, and spreads. Historically, there’s been a slight cultural divide here between people living in the outports and urban dwellers, like me.
I did a random survey last night, because I was so interested in finding out if I was the only one oblivious to the provincial craving for this drink. The storekeeper next to my place had never heard of the story—even though she sells it. I was buying a newspaper, when I started in with, “Hey, did you know…?” I think she thought I was on drugs, or slightly crazy. Next up was the taxi driver, on the way to a Christmas party. After we’d discussed his resume, and various jobs he’s had around the world, I popped the same question (I felt much more comfortable asking this time). “I didn’t know that,” he responded. "It’s great stuff, hey? Just comes in tins though, right? Not bottles.”
Those were my profound discussions of the evening...
* As a token of my appreciation for the new U2 album announcement--and a way to strengthen the bond between our two countries--I will happily send a tin of Pineapple Crush to every Interferencer residing in Canada and the continental US.
