nothing grape flavored is flavored like grapes it’s just flavored like other grape flavored things and this is why I have trust issues
FUN FACT: Grape artificial flavor was the first artificial flavor created, by accident. That means that some guy decided, “Whoa, this smells a lot like grapes,” and now everyone pretends it’s grape-y, too…
It tastes like an accident
Yes but some Accidents turn into the most wonderful of things.
this is not one of those cases

John Redpath’s success in building the Lachine Canal led to further major projects including his partnering with Thomas McKay, to construct the locks at Jones Falls, Ontario on the giant Rideau Canal project between 1827 and 1828. In addition, Redpath built the Notre-Dame Basilica and some of the first buildings atMcGill University.

One of the main reasons why I love being downtown Ottawa is that I get to go for lovely walks during the day so for once I can actually enjoy how truly beautiful my city is <3
