Key American Inventions- what's missing from the list?

The first recorded baseball game in history was on June 4,1838 in Beachville (near London) Ontario. This was a full year before Abner Doubleday. The Beachville game was the first to adapt similar rules to what we use today with three bases and home plate and was the first to be significantly different than the English rounders game. Who knows how many years they were playing under these rules before a newspaper actually reported on the competition. I totally agree that an American refined the rules that we have today. You can claim ownership for poutine though! Lol

The most underrated and underappreciated thing from Canada is "The Liquidators", featuring Jeff Schwartz. Trailer Park Boys come in second. And for food, Canada's greatest contribution is the beaver tail.

I really don't appreciate the trailer park boys. "Let's glorify self destructive behavior and everything else that ruins people's lives."

Concur wholeheartedly not to promote as positive destructive behaviors.

TBP is a comedy.

Ketchup. Invented in 1812 and then perfected and made world famous by the Heinz Co in 1876.

It's purpose was to help to cover up the taste of rancid meat in the days before widespread refrigeration.

Ketchup as a condiment predates that. Probably wasn't tomato based though. The origin is either British or Chinese depending on who you ask.
