Shoppers' Drug Mart's system reliability has gone to absolute pot since becoming part of the Loblaw empire.

Their online pharmacy system has been completely broken for me today in both Firefox and Vivaldi (with reasonable privacy settings, considering it's personal medical information). Submit a refill request, server responds with a 400 error. Lots of CORS errors in the console - what else is new.

I'm going to have to turn off uBlock Origin and try again, aren't I? FFS...

This is way outside my usual wheelhouse. It's a food review.

So, #Loblaw and its umpteen variants and brandings have a new series of President's Choice potato chip flavours. It's called the "Canadian Series" in their "World of Flavours". Trying to cash in on the newfound Canadian patriotism, I guess.

I don't remember all the flavours. There's poutine, of course, though I haven't bought that one.

There's "Halifax Donair", which I did try. Was not impressed. Kind of a mystery meat-ish base flavour with some not-too-specific seasonings on top. I really like donairs, but this didn't remind me of it very much.

The other one I bought was "Spicy Caesar". I like the cocktail, but I was worried that this one would end up tasting like ketchup chips (which I dislike) with a bit of something else added. I was pleasantly surprised; it doesn't taste of ketchup chips. The tomato tastes like actual tomato juice. Presumably there's a note of clam in there, though it's too subtle for me to pick up. There's definitely some celery salt (or at least celery root) flavour. And there's a little spice kick to it, like tabasco (and maybe worchestershire). Surprisingly good!

So, cocktail-flavoured potato chips: works, at least for this cocktail.

Days since I had to report a major Canadian retailer to their marketing mail host for not honouring marketing communications preferences, sending non-working links for "manage your preferences" or "unsubscribe", having a non-working link in the List-Help: header of an unsolicited marketing email, and having a website that errors out when trying to use the "contact us" function:
