Though only a few dozen miles away, Vancouver, Washington is more Canadian than Portland. In fact, Portland isn't Canadian at all. Washingtonians say some words like Canadians like bayg and flayg.
I've lived in Washington most of my life and I don't think I've ever heard those pronunciations, at least not in any widespread way.

I was more thinking a mouth-to-udder scenario, since the others were discussing their milk's packaging. Like a public milk fountain :laugh:

What's the going rate? 10 gulps to the dollar?

Milk in bags is the bomb. We should also buy watermelons in milk jugs.

The Japenesse could fit watermelons in boxes, but they have to be grown in them first.
