Bowser & Blue have a great song called "The Night They Invented Poutine." Despite having grown up in Montreal, and getting back there monthly for almost 30 years, I have yet to bring myself to put poutine in my mouth. I don;t think I ever will.

Bankley, Pepsi and May West was a popular combo all over Montreal in the 1960's when I was a kid, not just east of the Main. I grew up in Ville St. Laurent and a Pepsi and May West was standard fare from the corner store at the 118 bus stop. BTW, it was Pepsi, not Coke, because they were the same price but the Pepsi bottle was bigger in the 1960's.
