!
Hi there! Yes it's me once again. Ok so now that you know that, it's time for me to launch off on some cocamaymee tangent once again. Today I invite you along on one of my grocery shopping forays. We'll also make this interesting as we attempt to marry english class and shopping. How odd??!!!!
Oh wonderful oxymorons!
No I didn't call you a moron. I wouldn't do that. Follow me now: An oxymoron is when you put two seemingly opposite or contradictory words together and when you do they surprisingly express a truth or dramatic effect. Oxymorons are similar to paradoxes. To that end I present to you:
Tastes Like Homade??!!??
Since that is the title of this entry let's start with that shall we?
Nice box of mashed potatoes. But not homade by any stretch of the imagination(not even if I opened the box and my grandmother climbed out stirring a bowl of this powdered stuff. I don't care what it tastes like. It ain't homade.(and at the risk of sounding like George Carlin...) I don't care if the night manager is living in the basement (does the supermarket have a basement???) cooking on a hot plate
IT AIN'T HOMADE!!!!
Turkey Flavored
Not unless there's a whole turkey stuffed in here and last time I checked there wasn't ! (But it's flavored with turkey pan drippings) Sorry not enough turkey for me!!!
I love this one....
All Natural
I know that I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but, unless I miss my guess.....Raspberries and lemons just don't grow on the same trees or on the same plants or bushes for that matter! Speaking of all natural... This cabbage is all natural (no not the one located between my ears and on top of my shoulders)
By the way have you spied that back of this can???
ONLY 13% FRUIT JUICE?????? All Natural .....Puhleeeees!
Fat Free Sour Cream
If this sour cream is truly made from cream, consider this:
Cream by it's very nature is the fat in the milk from the cow. When you have products like cream, heavy cream, sour cream,butter....etc. These products are made in the process where milk is divided into two parts (homogenization- fancy word for cutting in half...basically). One part we drink as milk and the other is the fat skimmed off the top to make the above named creamy items.
SO I ASK YOU, IS THIS TRULY NATURAL CREAM? And if it is how on Earth can something fat be non fat at the same time?!!!
Hi synthia oh could you and Danger Girl have fun at the store! I love pointing out things like that. Made me want to grab the digi cam and run to the store myself. I have to get film developed that has all the pizza pimpers on it and post some pics. Did you say What is a pizza pimper?? You know those strange people that stand along the curb near intersections with signs advertising pizza,here we have Domino's Lil Ceasars,Hungry Howies, a few other strange ones. One day we actually saw a pimper dressed like little ceasar but we didn't have the camera. Oh well I love your journal and will add you to my friends list if you don't mind. Have a great weekend!
