Mac’s Milk

One of the advantages of being an aficionado of the nogged milk products (egg, rum, cucumber, etc.) is you usually have it all to yourself. Not many people dig on the nog. I don’t know why. Maybe people don’t like yellow milk.
I get it in my mind today, Christmas, to get some egg nog as no one in my family will provide it. I might write it off as an over sight, what when you’re baking ham and making all the little finger foods and cutting crust off the sandwiches, something like egg nog can slip past you. But I suspect my family doesn’t buy egg nog out of open contempt for the holiday diary product. But I’ll pretend it’s an oversight. So we all need to do our part and «help out». I thought «okay after my alone time at the only open Starbucks in Windsor [at Casino Windsor where apparently there was a convention of people in wheelchairs with oxygen tanks strapped to their chair or maybe this is just an evrey day crowd], I’ll get a couple liters of egg nog.»
I drove the length of the city, stopping in at 7−11s, Mac’s Milks, Shopper’s Drug Marts, and no-​name joints and I could not find anyone that still had egg nog on the shelf. Did they not stock up? Was there an episode of Mad Men that featured egg nog and suddenly its in vogue? Is there an urban legend egg nog and a handful of aspirin will get you high? Are Windsor people just all «bent» like me and actually like egg nog? I don’t know. But I had to leave the city itself and enter the town of Tecumseh (a property tax haven) to find egg nog at this Mac’s Milk. The greatest Mac’s Milk ever. Not only did it have loads of egg nog but it’s the first Mac’s Milk I’ve ever seen that actually has 99 cent hot dogs for sale. Oh, plenty of Mac’s Milks in Toronto claim to offer this, if you believe their window signage to be an approximation of the truth, but the real truth is no one ever seems to fill up the dog warmer. But this place does. Oh sweet.
Let’s review:
1) has egg nog on Christmas
2) has hot dogs in the warmer on Christmas
Yes. I’ll take two! For 99 cents you get not only a hot dog but chili, that super fake nacho cheese that Skydome will charge you $ 40 for, and various other fixings. Certainly not as many as a Toronto street meat cart but pert near close.
Best Christmas ever.
