“I was determined not to spend my day candy-sampling as I had done before with unfortunate results.”

Hmm, maybe I need to give seminars and preparation tips for attendees.

I liked that brittle, very tasty and definitely not too sweet.

I picked up some dog treats and I have to wonder why there weren’t cat treats.

Wineguy– I appreciated the moral chasm into which vegetarians might fall should they choose to use Baconnaise. It’s a bizarre product but, I tell you, the Lip Balm is not to be underestimated.

Paula– Why, thank you very much. Your keen eye picked up on something that was bothering me, yet could not articulate– that the Iron Chef wines do look as though they were packaged for distribution at GNC. You hit the nail on the head with that one.

Hilarious post Michael!!!

I love your humorous choice of products, too. It’s perfect!

Iron Chef wine?? Marketed to look like steroid enhancement supplements direct from the shelves of GNC, no less?? What the…??? Umm, no thanks!! Way to ruin your street cred, IC!

Now, the Yakult sounds wonderful, but I could never get past the awful name, or hideous packaging. What is up with that?

Great post, Michael. Thanks for the laughs!!

Cheers,

Baconaisse? All I can say is “what took so long”? Oh, and vegetarians, if this is what you need to get your fake pork-fix, then really, just give up and get thee to the bacon counter at your market. You’ll have so much more dignity!
