As I mentioned above, I wonder if it is an American thing?
ChattyCathy's point about Sheldon's shopping in Canadian supermarkets
makes sense. Grocery stores in different places carry different
things.

I wonder how many US stores carry cretons ? I'd expect to see it in
any Québec grocery store but not even in most Ontario stores. And if
I understand earlier discussions one cannot get peameal bacon in the
USA yet I'd expect to find in any Canadian grocery store.
