As a Salvador-born, quarter Italian lady with ties to little Portugal and Rexdale, you fit right in! :) I'm glad to see the image search is paying off! Yeah, Mr. Brown is something special. At T&T (A Taiwanese supermarket on Cherry Street), they sell the other varieties of Mr. Brown as well as some of the other canned coffees I used to "enjoy". My fave was American Coffee, a standard-sized, blue-jeans-labeled can. Another "coffee" with an unusual aftertaste but I found it more pleasant as a first drink of the day, milder. Then I'd usually follow with a Mr. Brown chaser. And welcome welcome and welcome again to TCL -- I can't tell you how nice it is to hear from someone else that's had the experience! Please keep on sharing :D To start off with, Fab, welcome to Chinatown!

I can across it so randomly that I just have to force the story upon you. I was googling "Mr. Du + Bickford" (a really lazy and bad search for someone whose name I can't really spell) and I accidentally went into the image search. When I saw Mr. Brown, I just had to look at the original post. You see, I recently moved to China town and I'm borderline addicted to Mr. Brown and its slightly mysterious aftertaste. Anyway... I like imagining Toronto as a city of communities, but as a Salvadoran-born, quarter Italian woman who grew up in little Portugal and later moved to multicultural Rexdale...I'm not quite sure where I fit! While I figure it out, I think I'll finally brave the international red bull. This post is hilarious!
