Today is the first day on PEI that carbonated beverages have been sold since 1984.  While at the grocery store this morning it was a little odd to see canned beverages everywhere.  I’m not much of a pop drinker myself, but every now and then I do get a craving for a cola (pepsi of course!).  But honestly, I really don’t understand what all the hype is about?  They are after all just cans people!  Personally, I prefer glass bottles to cans because if I wanted to have the taste of tin in my mouth, I would go lick a metal pole!

Then of course there is the Sunday shopping issue.  I work in retail, so I’m not sure if that’s the reason I’m opposed to Sunday shopping or not.  I just think there should be one day a week that people can spend with their family.  If you need to pick something up that badly, you do have 6 days a week to go shopping.  What about locally owned convenience stores?  How much will Sunday shopping affect their business?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for progress when it comes to PEI.  But bottled pop/beer and Sunday shopping is something I can definitely do without!
