Yesterday I bought a 1.66L container of breyers ice cream from superstore, and there was no HST on it. I didn't know ice cream was a necessity - lol
on the other hand, there are various other surprises such as - no hst on frozen tv dinners among other things.

There's no GST/HST either on orange juice that is a bigger size than a single serving.
But you gotta hand it to BC for throwing away millions or billions to go back to worse tax system based mostly on emotions.
