My favourite thing about this facebook group is watching so many people across Canada “discover” Purity products. So funny to read as a Newfoundlander who was raised on Purity syrups, crackers, cookies, and peanut butter kisses.

I brought home purity treats straight from Corner Brook following a work trip. My 11 y/o says she didn’t like the jam jams and that the kisses were “gross”. She’s grounded.
Apparently? I don’t know. I just always found these had a weird bite to them that I didn’t like. I guess I don’t mind when I jam 5-6 of them in milk and mix them up though. ☺️
I love the cream crackers, and the lemon cream biscuits, but neither one of them is remotely creamy. I guess they got their name from having cream of tartar in the ingredients?
My complaint is only with the ginger snaps although I can’t eat the peanut butter ones for another 3006 days due to my goal of going 10,000 days without peanut butter.
Rex Murphy tells a story when he was touring the Queen around the St John’s Purity plant and she (in white coat and hair net) asked a worker “what are you making?”
My son bought the hard bread one time because I assume he wanted to bond with his Newfoundland ancestors! Hahaha I can still remember his reaction when he tried to eat one! Not exactly what they are meant for! 😄
That’s hilarious. Hard bread is the one Purity product I never buy. I know this will probably get me disowned, but I cannot stand fish n brewis, or salt cod in general.
Salt fish with brewis is an abomination. Needs to be fresh, with scruncheons. Dad liked steak and brewis too. Essentially stew beef and its juices with softened hard bread.
To be fair, in 1924 when Purity Factory first opened we were international to Canada. They can probably move them over now though. We’ve been a Canadian province for 75 years.

On second thought, belay that order.
