Month: November 2012

Dolores Sandoval, whoever and wherever you are, I keep getting phone calls for you. I’ve had three today…

It seems these days that when you buy a bag of potato chips, you open the bag to find that it’s about 60% air. Thanks, Lays, for giving me an enormous bag that could hold two gallons of something but actually holds about fifty medium-sized chips! And everything from peanut butter to Carmex lip balm seems to have clever packaging where the bottom is indented, giving the impression of a good-sized jar which turns out to be missing 10% of the volume of the cylinder.

So it was refreshing to open a can of peanuts today and notice that they were actually filled to the top.

Thank you, generic Kroger brand peanut manufacturer, for not cheating me out of my goodies.

Laralee made something called “black lemonade”. I have no idea what that is, but I moved a milk jug in the fridge and saw it hiding in the back.

Yikes. I’m not sure if that’s the black lemonade or a science experiment gone bad.
