Bad idea Sunday

[yendi]

Am I the only one who read this, and thought, hey, "now we can have the Iraqi version of Prison Break?"

And, in a completely unrelated area, I give you individually wrapped slices of peanut butter. For parents who just can't figure out how to spread the stuff in the jar.

PB Slices?

tha'ts a bit...odd to say the least

You know, that's a whole level of lazy I can't accept.

yeah, as soon as they figure out how to make individually wrapped slices of jelly, then i'll be impressed . . . wait, that's called a fruit roll-up, isn't it? *doh*

off topic, but i really MUST leave my house today or risk self-immolation, since I'm at the point of crying over spilt cranberry juice (no, literally, i forgot i left a cup of it on top of the freezer this morning and i opened the freezer and the cup crashed and the noise and the cold liquid on my skin scared me and i cried for like ten solid minutes before cleaning it up). Where should I go, given that I have the combination of MARTA and a bicycle, and I can take my work anywhere with me (so my options ITP are actually fairly unlimited)? I don't feel like Decatur or Emory--I go there too much. I *could* take the Emory bus to Toco Hills. Or I could take the train to Lenox (I have a Macy's gift card, so there is the potential for therapeutic clothing buying without money spending, but Lenox is always a bit scary). What do you think? It might be a little cold for Piedmont Park, but I could go to Outwrite or Highlander. Other ideas for different activities? Is there someplace I've never been that I should go?

Of course, I'm not sure that running away from my house with my work is the solution to anything, but it seems as good as the other options.

We just got back from the movies, so I'm not sure if this is any good anymore, but the Macy's option sounds like the way. Lenox is a bit much on weekends, though -- better on a Monday or Tuesday.

Sadly, once you ruled out Emory and Decatur, you eliminated most of the choices I'd have made. :-(

[museumfreak.livejournal.com]

what were the choices you would have made???

i just wanted to go to somewhere i hadn't ever been, or at least been recently. i'm about to post about where i *did* go.

I thought they would have stopped at those PB squeeze tubes that dispense PB in thin strips. :-/
Next they'll have those individually wrapped slices with a layer of jam already on them.

[yendi]

Once they get to individually wrapped sheets of mayo, I'm crying foul.

[museumfreak.livejournal.com]

that would, indeed, be pretty foul.

You know, I've actually only seen those marketed towards kids feeding themselves with 'em. Not for lazy parents. ^_~ I would've thought they were a lot of fun when I was a kid. I would've rolled 'em up in a ball and ate 'em. I ate bread that way a lot.

[yendi]

Ah, but you can roll up "real" peanut butter, too. And it's so much more fun. :-)

[blergeatkitty.livejournal.com]

Why is there a picture of a hot dog on this "PB Slices" page? Are they suggesting you use a peanut butter slice on a hot dog?

Eeeeew.

[yendi]

You know, disgusting as it sounds, I've seen stranger things placed on hot dogs.

Not to mention, whatever might go in the hot dog.

I bought those on a whim once (as my son loves both sliced cheese and peanut butter snadwiuches (not together! He's not that wierd. But then, again, he is my son...). Anyway, they weren't too bad, kinda messy some times, but if you kept them refrigerated, they worked okay and tasted about the same as you average cheap peanut butter.

Of course, being a peanut butter snob myself (Peter Pann, please!), I only tried them once... ;)

[dougals.livejournal.com]

Sheesh! Damn typos! I mean, really! What the hell is a "snadwiuch"? *sigh!*

[yendi]

Heh. I'm also a snob. That's part of my problem with this -- you know it can't really be good PB.

[dougals.livejournal.com]

True enough. And it's not. :)

The peanut butter thing is sad but not surprising. On the subject of pre-sliced stuff, I have plenty of buddies who have been in abject puzzlement as to what a cheese slicer is.

[yendi]

Oh, that's sad. One day, everyone will assume that cheese comes from a can.

[museumfreak.livejournal.com]

the thing about pre-sliced cheese is that now you can get very good pre-sliced cheese for about the same price as the other kind . . .

Easy to eat?

[lbitw.livejournal.com]

"P.B. Slices makes peanut butter easy to eat."? Okay, so as an experiment, I went to the kitchen, grabbed the jar o' PB and a random utensile. EVEN with a fork, it is still easy to eat straight from the jar, or to spread on things. And not messy. I think this is misdirection on a scale greater then the WMDs!
ALSO! I am scared by these "slices".

[dandelion-diva.livejournal.com]

Oh, you can't spread it in a jar. You have to take it out to spread it.;)

The main problem with those silly slices? They certainly can't be an ingredient...so one would have to buy the stuff in the jar in the first place. Then again, I guess the people who'd buy the slices in a non-ironic way wouldn't really be making many cookies, huh?
