"new" Fujifilm Fujicolor 200?

Interesting point!
At Fuji,s german site I still get the old data sheet. At their japanese site no ISO 200 CN film is listed.
 
Has anyone been able to process a roll of Kodak Gold and a roll of this Fuji 200 and post a side by side comparison of the neg strips (with and with out images)?
Even better if a densitometer reading could be made.

Born & raised in Ohio, USA, I'd always heard of Piggly Wiggly growing up but thought it was a joke... until I saw one out West on vacation when I was 15. I did spend most of the trip in the back of a pickup with a bed-cap, so I'm not ruling out the possibility it was an hallucination due to exhaust fumes.
 
Piggly Wiggly is a joke to most of the country. The rest would not understand it.
 
...but apparently, no donuts?

It's almost as if our friendly neighbors to the north have adopted a whole different meaning to the concept of tire store. Maybe, it has something to do with the french?
 
Canadian Tire used to be an automotive parts store (including a repair shop that would also let you use the space to work on your car - I don't think they've done that in decades, though) that had a few other kinds of tools and sparse pluming/electrical supplies and they also sold bicycles and hockey equipment. Now they sell a mountain of mostly useless tools and are otherwise like a Walmart with more car stuff and no clothing (unless you count hunting clothing).

Although I grew up in Minnesota and I was fifteen before it dawned on me that Winnipeg was, like this whole other country, and have lived at various times in my life in Wisconsin and Michigan...
alas, I confess, I've never been to Québec....
but I do like cheese curd and fries.
 

Do they sell film ?

they used to many years ago, Under the Pulsar Name.

Canadian Tire did start as an Automotive store owned by a Toronto area family. they expanded into hardware items and started a form of Franchising, called "associate Stores" the lines include Housewares, Hardware, tools, sesonal goods, gardening supplies, electronics and sporting goods, they also own a clothing chain called Marks, a couple of sporting goods chains, and auto parts chain, and some famous Brands including Helly-Hansen. And yes, the stores also do auto repairs, and you can get mechanical Auto Parts like alternators.
https://corp.canadiantire.ca/English/about-us/default.aspx shows links to the history and the brands that they control.
Martha Billes and Owen Billes from the founding family are still on the board.
now how we got so far off track is beyond me.
 
Canadian Tire sounds like the old Otasco's Chain in the US; HiFi, Refrigerators and Tires. Weird when you think about it...

This has to take the award for "most off-track thread on Photrio ever"...

(and, yes, I did contribute to the deflection...)

Basically CTC has almost everyting you need to do most Home improvement or repair projects except for Lumber. All the sporting goods you need to play almost any game, and all the housewears you need including small appliances to feed your self and keep the house clean.

If you need the wilder stuff, You have to go to Princess Auto. (who does not sell auto parts BTW.)

I have never understood why Canadians are so compelled to drive to Canadian Tire on Saturday mornings every Saturday. Can you explain that to me please?

Is this thread about tyres or film? I lost track

I’ll volunteer to get it back on track. I had some time yesterday so I checked a few of my usual local (Boston, MA) haunts. I intended to pick-up a pack, but no Fuji 200 anywhere to be found. I did come across a few $27.99 3-packs of Superia 400 at one drugstore chain with a 1-2024 expiration date.
