Meatloaf and personal hygiene. It's what's for dinner!

Odd coupling of total items purchased on a trip to the drug store:

A box of panty liners and a large bottle of ketchup.

I wondered if anyone thought I was off to play a prank or something.

*laughs* Last week I had a cashier at the grocery store ask me if I was pregnant. I blinked and wondered for an instant if that was some kind of comment on my weight. Then I realised I was checking out with nothing but a carton of strawberry ice cream and a tin of anchovies.

Sometimes you find yourself buying at least one other thing so the combination isn't quite so odd-looking, yanno?

[puella-nerdii.livejournal.com]

-- and I just choked on my pudding.

Well done, ma'am.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Sorry! Enjoy more pudding! :D

[gmth.livejournal.com]

I prefer them with dijon mustard, myself.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

...Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd that'd be a no.

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

Well, weren't you?

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

There was a need for a recipe involving ketchup and there was a need for that spring-fresh feeling and they had NOTHING TO DO WITH ONE ANOTHER!

:insert iPad joke here:

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. My theory about the iPad is that Jobs said, "Look, the most logical name is iPad; it goes with iPod, it's short and catchy, and EVERY SINGLE PERSON WILL MAKE MENSTRUAL JOKES ON THE FIRST DAY so they will be old dumb jokes by the second day," and his think tank said, "Steve's right. Let's just go with it."

I felt the same way recently when I bought chocolate spread and toilet paper together.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

SPORFLE! You're right, I would have had to buy one more item to make it less weird.

[orchidchaos.livejournal.com]

There's a grouping of words you never expect to see together. A box of panty liners and a large bottle of ketchup. Thanks for making my random odd moment of the day!

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I live for random odd moments of the day! Thank you!

[orchidchaos.livejournal.com]

Hallo.

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Ahaha! Best combination of purchases ever. ;)

And I owe you an email about LBC.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh! Whether you liked it or have criticisms, I'd love to hear whatever you have to say! If you have time, of course. ^_^

[son-of-darkness.livejournal.com]

Well... could have been worse. Could have been a tub of Vaseline and a cucumber. ;P

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

There have been times when I've had a craving for a cucumber sandwich, so I go into the grocery store to buy a cucumber and maybe one or two other things. I have to ask myself if it's a laugh-worthy assortment or if it looks like the right balance of groceries to demonstrate that, yes, I'm eating the damn thing!

[i-id.livejournal.com]

When I was a cashier, I used to have a regular customer who bought 24 16oz bottles of rubbing alcohol, and a 24-pack of condoms. Every single month.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I wonder if they know you can't sterilize the things? That they're single-use only? ^_~

[i-id.livejournal.com]

Well, he never came in for a pregnancy test or diapers.

(No idea what he got from the pharmacy, though.)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

I hope I'd use something classier than ketchup! Like...arrabiata sauce. ^_^

[venturous1.livejournal.com]

something involving the iPad, perhaps.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Naw, those jokes are so yesterday.

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

Sounds like my mother's idea of a great christmas gift.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Oh, dear.

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

She gave me panty liners this year. Sadly, no ketchup :(

[kissed-by-fate.livejournal.com]

That's. Just. Wrong. Funny, but Wrong.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

The little, harmless Wrong moments in a life are what give me so much pleasure.

[sciencegeek.livejournal.com]

lol, aww...I always wonder what cashiers think when people go through with odd combinations of items. I often run out of cucumber between my normal grocery visits, and have to pick one up after work (or sometime in the evening), and usually spend a while wandering the store thinking of other things I need (or don't need but could use, eventually).

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Cucumber's the perfect example! I can't just run in for a cucumber and run back out again. Have to get tomatoes and green onions and such if I have nothing else to get. At least there's salad that way!

[goseaward.livejournal.com]

jsyk, when I saw your post title, I thought of Meatloaf the singer.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Of course you did! "DON'T EAT THE MEATLOAF!"

*has only seen RHPS about twice, but, has it memorized anyway*

[oishii-tokoro.livejournal.com]

For some reason, reading this thread (which generated much giggling and several guffaws) reminded me that there is a FLAVOR of hot cocoa called "Women's Wellness"

Coupon Proof. (https://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/sbsk/wellness.jpg)

Of course I bought one, because I had to taste it and ... personally, I preferred the Mint.

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

What on earth could be in it that isn't chocolate that makes it "Women's Wellness"??

[oishii-tokoro.livejournal.com]

As it turned out, it had quite high amounts of calcium (like 40% of the RDA), and various other things like folic acid. This gave it a noticeable "chocolate chalk" taste. ~ I would up mixing a packet of it with a packet of the Mint cocoa in a huge cup. Less vitamins, more noms.
