When visiting convenience stores, why do they have to price the 1 liter Mt Dew bottles more cheaply than the 12oz bottles? I mean, I really don't want to drink an entire liter of Mt Dew, but it's cheaper. So I buy the larger, cheaper bottle and inevitably drink the entire friggin thing. With my King Size Reese's Peanut Butter cups (that are of course cheaper than the regular sized pack). So is attempting to spend less on snacks leading to my weight gain I wonder? I like peanut butter M&M's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was no internet, message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft. You're right. It must be natural instinct or something. I used to love it when my tv screen would turn pink and I could just barely make out the game. Every Nintendo console was different to. There was an art to inserting games into them. I'm a 2 percent man. If I wanted my milk to taste like water, I would drink water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not my department, but I think there are some positions open for others. Keep an eye out. If Echo continues to spend so much time brain storming ozone thread ideas, I wouldn't doubt that his very position becomes available soon. I'm al all-star. I have so much power and free reign in my department, I would have to do something absolutely horrible to get fired. Worse than telling someone to F-off in the middle of a department meeting, which I did a couple months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Live or Die Magic 383 Report post Posted August 21, 2009 I tell you what really chafes my Charlie Browns is these dessert companies that have decided to cut the traditional ice cream container by a full 25% and still have the nerve to charge even more for it. So, you're only getting a pint and a half but your still paying more than a 2 pints were just a few years ago. And if that isn't bad enough, they still keep the container in the same shape/form. It's as if they don't want you know that it is smaller than before. It's like they think they can fool you. I don't want to be fooled. Do you? And now even Publix has decided to advertise their ice cream as a "true half-gallon." And even the really great ice cream companies like Blue Bell (in the glorious gold-rimmed round container. You have my heart Blue Bell, with your rich creamy mint chocolate chip deliciousness) make sure to advertise themselves as still offering the REAL amount of ice cream.
