I've never been to the Mint stores, I've ordered stuff from their website though, and even picked up the odd set and singles at Canada Post. I'm a sucker for anything flag related, like some of the 50th anniversary of the flag stuff they've had out. Got to be selective though, like buying parts, its not a poor mans hobby. lol

Don't drink anymore, but that whole marketing campaign for Canadian was brilliant , I'll bet theres one of those flags on Ebay somewhere. Reminds me of the old Royal Reserve Whiskey "Proud Canadian" label, similar deal. Cool stuff, nice score for the garage AN.

I knew you didn't drink, but you never know one of your friends may have one. I got that picture off eBay because I was too lazy to go out to the garage and take a picture of the one I have. If I come up with an extra one I will let you know.

This is what you need to pick up and throw down with your spare if the factory filler tube is missing (my car has a factory filler tube down with the spare tire).
$1.99 from Canadian Tire.
Works perfect on my 2014 and grabbed it to have a spare in my garage.
Newer nozzles at gas stations can lose the tip (it is press fit on the end of many nozzles and if that tip comes off then the remainder of the nozzle tube won't open the flap allowing fuel to the tank).
I work in the industry and it is rare but I have seen this occur.
If you ever find yourself in a jam at a station like you did you can put the funnel in your filler tube and at least put some gas in.
