When I was a young teenager, I was walking by the bags of cereal and had to stop and do a double take. It was King Vitamin that I saw, not King Vietnam. It would make an interesting cereal though.
Yep, I’ve found that any generic raisin bran will be far less sugary-sweet than name brands. In my book, that’s a good thing.
They usually have more raisins, too. Go figure.
I don’t shave in front of a mirror, I shave in the shower to save myself time and trouble. My Gillette Tech (circa 1960’s) rarely draws blood, which is more than I can say for the disposable Bics I used to buy. Mind you, 1) I’m a more experienced shaver these days and 2) My wife had a newer double-edge that was not all-metal and which had ‘silo’ doors break on her mid-stroke. This has made me nervous even of older, more solidly-built silo-style razors. But The 3-piece style is quite secure.
I prefer AMD CPU’s over Intel’s. The performance difference can only be measured with special diagnostic software anyway. I have never owned name brand RAM chips in my life. Western Digital harddrives have always worked well for me. I still have a pair of 10 year old, 20 GB western digital drives that still work. We always buy the cheapest printer too, and throw it away when it breaks. Works well when the printer is on sale for $50 or less but the inks are $10-20 each.
It made them blind?? That may be rubbing alcohol you have there. :o|
Ditto- we buy a lot of their brand.
Cheap nonstick pans. I have very high end cookware, but I only get cheap nonstick pans. Use them, abuse them, replace them. Expensive ones need replacing just as often.
I’m a cruel hostess like that.
The Tramontina pans, which are in a shrink-wrapped package of an 8", a 10" and a 12" and cost something like $23, are thicker and much better quality than the T-Fal pan I have and cook more evenly. And the set of three cost less than a single T-Fal pan. Also, they have really stout, riveted handles which are coated in silicone so they can go in the oven al opposed to the plastic handle on the T-Fal pan. And, to top it off, the Tramontina pans are made in the USA.
“I wanted a bowl, and for my sins, they gave me one. Brought it up to me like room service. It was a real choice bowl, and when I was done, I never wanted another.”
Also: Wasn’t “King Vietnam” the badly-translated Hong Kong knockoff?
Finally found it: Chocolypse Now, the premier “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”/“Apocalypse Now” crossover parody, and likely the best food-related “Apocalypse Now” parody, period.
As is AIDS. Practice safe sex, and wash your hands and vegetables.
