The salt and caramel is 36g per 175ml serving. So yeah, high. I've been finding that with Canadian energy drinks as well. I have just switched to a zero refined sugar diet the past couple of months. I'll probably continue to buy Chapman's and just take it to my workplace.

I checked my bank for that recently. If you tap or use your PIN in Canada, it's Interac. Everything else is VISA.

I have a cash back VISA card. The week after Jan 20, I pulled my card info off every online service I use, stopped using the card entirely, and a few days ago canceled it completely. It was a tough choice. I generally earned about $600 a year cash back, but it's time to free ourselves of America and forge our own path. I don't really see the Can/American relationship ever being repaired at this point. Time to move on.

I agree. Salt and caramel are such a good combo. There were a couple of chocolate flavors, but the only other one that caught my attention was a cold brew coffee, I believe.

I feel the same, but after reading about how they have been being a stand-up Canadian company, I will continue to buy this through our troubling times.

BTW these premium flavors are actually quite good.

Considering their recent statements, I am happy to support them as much as I possibly can.

Not only that, but cooler/freezer space is premium in grocery stores. If the American product isn't selling through, then there will be lots of pressure to replace it with something that sells.

That's super cool!

I see a lot of people parroting this sentiment on reddit. Walmart bad, Costco good. Keep in mind that Costco in the US is removing Canadian products from their stores. I see Americans saying on a daily bases that they would like to support Canadians. Removing Canadian products from their stores is an active strike back at Canadians because there is a demand for those products.

Not nearly as bad as PP. Every time I hear the guy speak, it's like he'd rather be doing something else.
