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, I know I just did a Shopping with Blobby segment, but that was for August. We are now into another month. 

In theory, it would have been a piece I held while we were in Europe later this month so I didn't have to actively post during travels, but those plans have been dashed. No Berlin marathon. Won't be strong enough to get around 2-3 countries easily. 

So this gets moved up - or you get a 'nothing' post. Truth be told, I'm tried of writing about my "accident", surgery and recovery. 

Anyways - someone has come up with two of the worst things ever and made them into one:



First off, I don't know how to tell nuts.com that malted milk balls are not nuts. They're not even legumes. 

...and lord knows they're not candy. 

Malted Milk Balls are something I assumed that were concocted in a Union Carbide lab in Bopaul, India. These and popcorn balls were the first things to get tossed from any Halloween loot. Even raisins and pennies were after that. Necco wafers were somewhere in between. 

But wait - now they're coated with pumpkin spice??   

It's like the garbage isn't even enough. It sounds like these need to go in the disposal and then have a gallon of cider vinegar poured on top of them while they get ground up. 

Yes, now you have to call the Roto Rooter man to come clean everything out, but trust me, it's worth the price. 


On what R&D committee did people go around the room and give the ok for this? 

Reese's might have been last last successful you got the {ingredient} in my {other ingredient}. 

Leave well enough alone.

Pumpkin Spice is anathema.

It’s like you’re not even from America

And it does not taste like pumpkin, only the spices. What is the fun in that.
