You mean antiseptic cream?

Polysporin is good.

Polysporin or store brand. It's not white but it does the same thing. More effective in my view.

Isn't that an anitbiotic cream? The nurse at the doctors looked at me as if I was an alien when I said I have never bought the stuff.

Oh yes, I am an alien.

Beats me, Goes on cuts and scrapes is all I know.

"Neosporin (from Neo, (Greek) new + Sporos, (Greek) seed) is the product name of an antibiotic ointment produced by Pfizer (later sold to Johnson & Johnson) used in the prevention of infection and speeding the healing of wounds. The original ointment contains three different antibiotics: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B. Other brand names for this mixture include Mycitracin and Topisporin.
The generic drug name for this mixture is "Triple antibiotic ointment". In China, this product is called "Complex Polymyxin B Ointment" which is manufactured by Zhejiang Reachall Pharmaceutical. GlaxoSmithKline manufactures Neosporin in many other countries, including Canada.[citation needed] In Mexico, GSK's trade name "Neosporin Dermico" is used for the topical ointment.
Some people have allergic reactions to neomycin, so a "Double antibiotic ointment" is sold that only contains bacitracin and polymyxin B (for example, product name Polysporin)."

Antibiotic.

I avoid them until I really need to use them.

Not Canadian equivalent but imported from England:

Loblaws/Superstore/Maxi No Name brand Rich Tea, Digestive and Chocolate Digestive biscuits. I think they're under $2 a packet

I've found a tin of sweets in our local No Frills (superstore/loblaws).
They're the Presidents Choice brand and they're called High Street! The packaging, the picture on the back and the fact they're imported from the UK suggests they're Quality street.
Will have to wait until Crimbo to find out.

Neosporin, I did not know what that was till I watched Don't mess with the Zohan yesterday when the 3 guys asking for nitroglycerin but because of there accents the guy gave Neosporin was quite funny as they threw it at the window and it looked like vaseline to me

You could always buy some Quality Street in Loblaws. They do sell them. I saw some in there yesterday. Horribly expensive, mind you.

I found Quality Street in Walmart but it was $16 for a small tin! :O

Shoppers DrugMart has QS on offer at various times and prices.

I've paid $14 for a 1kg tin that shot up to $26 the next week and now they have 725/750g tins for $16-$18.

Like many things, buy them when you see a good price.

Try adding "Whip It" by DrOetkur to your cream it is a staberlizer weird but it works you find it by the herbs in our local canadian sperstore in pouches
