Hippie Shopping

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I just got a little chuckle standing in line at the grocery. I’d just finished unloading our cart when a couple of young dudes pulled into the line behind me. Clearly they were poor college age kids, one with dreadlocks and both looked a little on the scruffy side. In their basket, they had:
[ul]
[li]2 12-packs of toilet paper; and[/li][li]6 bottles of Juicy Juice, assorted flavors[/li][/ul]

Now, I was under the impression that apple juice is constipating, but high fiber juices (cranberry?) may actually help unplug you. It looked like those fellas were in for quite a ride. :eek:

I couldn’t help but lean into my husband and whisper to him to check out the cart behind us. We both got a good chuckle.

IANA food scientist, but does cranberry juice have any fiber at all?

3

They were probably planning to mix a teaspoon of LSD with all the juice, and then put little droplets of it on the toilet paper and cut them up.

4

Not in my experience :eek:

Pasturized apple juice is only slightly…encouraging to my system. Whereas apple cider, especially the unpasturized kind from the local orchard… :eek: is right.

I do have a chronic intestinal disease, though, so YMMV and all.

Seriously?

I’m pretty naive when it comes to the subject of recreational drug production, but I would have expected you’d need a hardier paper than TP.

I might also be easily whooshed. :stuck_out_tongue:

4.6 grams of dietary fiber for every 100g. I believe prune juice is the best choice for adding fiber to your diet, but it’s got a helluva reputation for making the consumer seem older than they are. :slight_smile:

Whoosh… with multi-colored trails… with “Dark Star” playing in the background!
But sweat it not, the pink elephant beside you got whooshed, too.

8

For the not just old but old and grim, there’s canned saurekraut juice.

Drink a can of that and try & leave home. Imagine a parakeet claw holding a water balloon closed.

9

That gets a 10 on the “impressive image” meter.

I’m just curious if the “hippie” connotations of the purchases in question might be better interpreted as preparation for some other activities… (nudge, nudge, wink wink)

Eh, there are times when I make trips to the store where someone might go :dubious: at the random combo of items. In the “hippies” case, it might be nothing more than “need some TP, hey, look, Juicy Juice is on sale!”
