Clearly Canadian was founded in 1987 and perhaps heralded the waves of "fancy" water to come years later. It disappeared from shelves due to financial mismanagement, but recently returned and you can even order it online!

I couldn't let this event go by without a little national pride! Red Rose is a well known brand of tea in Canada. A different blend is sold in the US. In Canada, the tea is owned by Unilever. Red Rose was famous for it's premiums - little trading cards in the 60s and 70s that were brought back in the late 90s IIRC. Every Canadian of a certain vintage has at least one or two Wade figurines in their house somewhere. The figures fetch $6-8 a piece.
