Shopping with Blobby

Yet another installment in the drudgery that is everyday shopping. The camera-phone makes it a bit more fun - though I get looks whenever I take pics of products. Like I care what people think!

Yes, normally I will blog a food item - if not always. This is kind of a food item, but kind of not.



While shopping the other day, I couldn't help but chuckle a little at the pseudo-irony of the Quick Ones sample station which wasn't very quick at all.

There are certain days in grocery stores that have these stations in almost every aisle. The food companies ply their wares for the hungry and buying consumers. I've never figured out when, how or why. You think I would have, since back in the day, when I was really broke, I could would have to go from station to station to eat.

I did wonder what poor (literally) guy had to wait around until 2:30 to get his freebie of the not so Quick One.....and whether it was worth it.

You know, sometimes I like a Quick One and am willing to wait around a bit for one, but othertimes I don't mind a Slow One.

Hey! I work in a grocery store. I wonder if I can get a Quick One there? (And on the clock, which would make it so much more exciting.)
