Unlimited cold milk – a lifetime highlight
The story that Kraft Foods was planning a rebrand left me confused, after listening to the suppertime news. Thankfully, I was able to Google my confusion away. KD will remain KD, which means that No-Name hasn’t won the battle for the MacNCheez meal just yet. Imagine the chaos, if a generation of university students were no longer able to find food.
I never went down that road. My wisdom in placing my penates within smelling distance of a full service cafeteria for five years meant that malnutrition was never a risk. Neither was flavour, but that’s a non-issue, going on four decades later. I still look back on the concept of unlimited cold milk as a highlight in my life.
While we’re “on the issue” of what it costs to be a student, remember to avoid downtown Montreal tomorrow afternoon. More protests are planned (there was a sticker on my bus window this morning, in an anarchistic ad moment. Methinks this whole thing can only turn sour. The weather forecast is positive, the bus fleet has been chartered, and there’s even a local secondary school that has given the green light to participation in the great campaign to convince the paying public to recant on tuition hikes. Again, methinks this whole thing…
Actually, the protests will be available elsewhere (like here in Quebec City). Tomorrow, I believe I’ll avoid the area around the Legislative Assembly, on basic principle. I have nothing to add to the argument, and sitting in a stuck bus for a couple of hours won’t be enough to entice me to join the cause.
