Even go to one of them supermarkets, look at the aisles and say... "I can't believe people buy this shit?" I saw a guy in the store with a cart-full of "just add chicken" type of meals. He has every kind of cuisine in the too... nasty Asian, nasty American, even some nasty "add your own shrimp" paea. Honestly... if you were already to go through the bother of cooking chicken, wouldn't it just be easier and tastier to cook the rest of the meal too? I also saw "Diet Tasteless Nutrition Bars". Do people actually buy tasteless food? There is also a section in the store that kinda shows you how to make your own nasty meal, and has the products associated with the meal next to it... it usually involved Velveta cheese or some other disgusting ingredients and the recipe is usually extremely simplified, yet strict. I like how it insists that you should only buy the advertised products in order to make it. I truly do wonder if people actually buy that. Or that candy, you know... the plastic container, by the pound candy that has obviously been sitting there for years, and was touched by every anthrax carrying 5 year old. I wonder if some deprived kid would decide to buy those damn chocolate covered pretzels. Any others?
On a similar note, Saturday I was at the grocery store with my dad and they had cheap store-brand Hamburger Helper on display with bottles of ketchup. :ack2:
Oh wow. Hamburger helper and bottles of ketchup... that's pretty much priceless. My supermarket carries lamb now, which is awesome... because lamb is the best meat ever. I bought an entire leg, gonna grill that fucker. Next to the lamb there were two kinds of chicken that didn't look any different... skinless chicken breasts. One cost 2$ more per pound than the other. I looked at the two, and couldn't tell a single difference, not on the table, the info on the back... nothing. I guess you can just buy the cool brand of chicken.
How about the store made coffee? My store has a coffee rack thingy, where you grab a paper bag and just put the beans in it. There is one flavor that's "decaf light vanilla mint roast"... I can't possibly imagine anyone buying that shit.
target has 2 food brands, market pantry and archer farms. some of that shit looks nasty as hell. like strawberry flavored peanut butter. i've also seen turkey and stuffing flavored jones soda
People who buy jello mix, rice-a-roni...basically anything with tons of artifical crap baffles me. If I was too poor to afford food, I would buy one quality meal a day, rather than 3 crap meals, or I would grow my own.
ohhhhh, jello wrestling! i gotta get me some jello mix. wait... what about pudding? it's way yummier, and i think it would still work. but it wouldn't be quite as slimy. hmmm...
My little cousin loves that jello shit. I bitch my mom out for buying it for her. Would a 3 year old anthrax carried be more appropriate?
Its actually CHEAPER to buy plain bulk rice than that sodium shit. like buying that jug of bugjuice kool-aid knock off cause its cheap...well for most of us water is FREE..and way better for ya.
