    I think the poster is amused by the inclusion of French text.

    In the United States. Heinz is known for its ketchup, and French's is known for its mustard.

    Yes but the version shown might be from Quebec or nearby?

    Yes, but without my original title, folks won't understand the context now will they. Anyway, I edited the post.

    Actually the plant that makes Heinz in Canada closed in 2013/14. French's stepped up and decided to start making ketchup because of that. But yes, you can still get Heinz here, just not manufactured here anymore.

    I work in grocery. I've seen both in America as well (although not without the French language or "made proudly in Canada" signage). Condiment companies tend to branch out these days, even in my neck of the woods where condiments in general don't sell very well.

    Wouldn't really matter. With limited exceptions, all prepackaged food must be labelled in both official languages anywhere in the country.

    Why do they have sonic showers in the 24th century, when they can just replicate water?

    Faster and more efficient, no need to dry yourself or clean the shower

    Since nobody knows how sonic showers would work, except perhaps for certain researchers, nobody knows if they would be more efficient that water showers or if they would feel better than water showers.

    Possibly sonic showers feel really good and luxurious.

    The transporter should be the only hygiene station you'd need. It can remove urine, poo, dirt and grime from skin and clothes, plaque from teeth...

    It can already remove weapons and clothes, so it is not much of a stretch of computing power to enable it for freshness.

    Yeah, but that'd mean on a Galaxy-Class ship you'd have to perform 1000 transports each day just to clean the crew. Four main transporter rooms, six people at a time.

    O'Brien would get carpal tunnel working the sliders that often!

    Hmm. A handheld unit like the Vidiians use would suffice. Those creeps have cornered the market on fine tuning.
