White Spot makes Pirate Paks for adults on August 18
One of the most unjust things about growing up just might be getting cut off from ordering a Pirate Pak at White Spot. Over 10 years old? No paper boat for you—just an ordinary plate under that burger.
But on Wednesday (August 18), you can eat your meal and play with it too, no matter what your age. For one day, White Spot is selling Pirate Paks for adults.
They cost more than the kids’ $5.99 version, but you get the same cardboard vessel (including a shiny gold chocolate coin!) filled with fries, coleslaw, and a soft drink. The Legendary burger combo is $9.99, veggie burger $10.49, or chicken burger $11.99.
Like the kids’ version, a scoop of ice cream is included. But interesting nutritional note: unlike the kids’ version, there’s no Pirate Pak option for salad instead of fries. Nor is there an option to choose milk instead of Coke.
Two bucks from every Pak goes to Zajac Ranch , a B.C. summer camp for kids with medical concerns.
Add a pint of Nat Bailey lager or a martini or two, and debate whether life really was better when you went to bed before 10 p.m.

White Spot is one of the biggest HST sponsors.

Pirate packs are nothing but unnecessary waste for the sake of novelty. Putting your meal on a plate makes it just as efficient, just as tastey, and at least a little bit more sustainable.

Actually White Spot doesn't support the HST. The restaurant industry was one of the hardest hit by the HST as people choose to go out less when restaurant meals are taxed and groceries aren't.

When I think about going out to eat -no matter what it is, from 100% fruit juice, to a meal of any type; the next thought is: will they add HST.
Even the eco fee on a bottle of pure fruit juice has jumped to 10 cents that I can't get back, (on top of the 5 cent deposit).
I used to envy kids the pirate pack, now I envy kids not needing to be concerned about all the political corruption going on.
Where oh where did the REAL Canada go... (the one that values and insists on honesty).

50% of the provincial budget goes to health care.
1 in 4 children in Canada is slated for diabetes.
i in 4 people in Canada is going to get cancer.
This is not food.
I should have a health tax and stupid tax added to the price.
And an eco levy for the packaging.
