12. The exchange rate as of today is $1 Cdn = 77 cents US.
It flashes on the TV above my desk every five minutes, so by this point, it's drummed into my head.

14. Maybe your money would be worth more
If you didn't use such pretty-colored ink on it. I got some stares at a bank in TO when I exclaimed "Hey everybody! Look at the pretty money!"

17. I love the look of their money.
It's just nice looking currency. So much more pleasing than our ugly, monochromatic paper currency.

19. Where I used to work...
It was 1.00 for the 20 oz., 1.25 if you wanted juice instead of soda. Indiana... Moving to Connecticut soon, where the prices seem to be more like 1.20-1.30 for the same thing :(

and you get four choices... Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, Diet Coke and (get this)...the label says Seven-Up but it gives you Sprite. It's a really boring vending machine.

21. 65 cents for a can of pop at my work place
I do a lot of traveling so I stop in a lot of rest areas. Those that have vending machines are generaly higher in price than what you'd find elsewhere. They usually run 75 cents for a can of pop, $1.25 for a 20 oz. bottle, and 75 cents for a candy bar.
