3.6 million  Views on Twitter

The commercial features animated characters grocery shopping which would be kind of normal if it weren't for their superpowers.

The resurgence of the video came as Twitter user Zari_Wari reposted the viral video, which has since been viewed 3.6 million times and retweeted nearly 70,000 times.*

The initial tweet featured a couple of expletives and was quickly followed up with "Canada stays winning...?"

This is certainly not the first time No Frills has been over the top. Back in May 2020, the grocery chain dropped a track in a bid to get their shoppers to keep following social distancing rules.

The jingle, "A Cart Apart," received over a million views on YouTube receiving both praise and the occasional chuckle.
