Fold A to B is the second full-length album by Canadian punk rock band The Salads. It was released in 2003, on Maui Wowie Records, and distributed by EMI Music Canada. It is an enhanced CD, and features the videos for both "Get Loose", and "Who's that Kat?". The title of the album is a reference to the Mad Fold-in by Mad magazine and the font of the album cover title is a reference to the magazine as well.

It spawned three hit singles, "Get Loose", "The Roth Kung Fu", and "Unhappy", which were all radio hits in Canada. the first single, "Get Loose", was featured in a few Labatt Blue commercials, and was the most successful single from this album, and got steady play on MuchMusic upon its release. It was also on the soundtrack and film score to EuroTrip. The band was also featured playing the song in the second episode of Instant Star. This song along with "The Roth Kung Fu" were featured in the sixth season of Degrassi: The Next Generation.
