I recently asked Canadian-owned snack food companies to NOT send me any of their delicious product [video], especially if they were a small or family-run business. If they did, I said, that would force me to put them in a video about buying Canadian.

Well, apparently some people are bad with boundaries!

The brands below ignored my very reasonable request and sent me product anyway.

I trust you will use the information below to teach them a lesson by purchasing their product and diminishing their stock.
