Meanwhile, In Canada: "We Don't Bow to Big Raisin"

From Toronto Life:

“We don’t have to bow to Big Raisin”: This Toronto bakery took the top prize at Ontario’s Best Butter Tart Festival
Since its big win, Etobicoke’s The Pie Commission has been selling about 400 butter tarts a day

...And is that with or without raisins? I know this can get controversial. Oh, definitely. People would come up to our booth, no pleasantries, no hellos, just, “Do you have raisins?” And we’d say, “No, sorry, we don’t,” and they would storm off. I don’t think I realized quite how seriously people take this....

We on the other hand:

One man wanted to change the raisin industry for the better. He got more than he bargained for.
