My husband, on the other hand, likes to get Coca-Cola with real sugar. Lots of empty calories there.
I hope he mixes with rum and not goats milk!
(I've never actually had goats milk, so I shouldn't judge. it sure makes good cheese!)

Yup, but we're not retired (YET, can't come soon enough). He gets his real, mexican cola from the Roach Coach outside his manufacturing company. I like your line of thought there, though!!!!Right! What a waste of a glass, a beverage, ice, calories and an opportunity to drink something meaningful.![]()
Hahahehehe! I did laugh out loud at the jovialness!! You peeps are the right kind of fun!Right! What a waste of a glass, a beverage, ice, calories and an opportunity to drink something meaningful.![]()
For a couple of other reasons and this, Blue Bell has become one of my favorite companies. Gig 'em!
Is it just me, or have toilet paper rolls gotten narrower?
I love their motto, "Eat all you can, sell the rest.". Sounds like a great place to work.

Ah, yes! But are they longer to compensate? True TFPr's Like Jeff and PA need to do some research and report back...."Enjoy the Go!"Yes, narrower. Also, don't try to separate the 'plies'
It is NOT just you, sir. It is less. It is narrower. Scotts has declined on their paper towels and toilet tissue. So sad.I love their motto, "Eat all you can, sell the rest.". Sounds like a great place to work.

I hadn't noticed before, but yes it would be a very easy way to cut corners.toilet paper! notice how much extra roller you have now? the cadboard tube is a larger diameter and the width of the rolls is at least a half inch less than it used to be. I can almost stack 4 rolls in my cupboard when a few years ago a stack three high only left a little clearance.
Vienna sausages. Used to get eight in a can and they were jammed together and now the label says "about 8" and you ALWAYS get 7. And they are loose.
Trash bags. This is a racket. I like the Blackout bags because they go better with our stainless steel garbage can in the kitchen (plus it makes me feel better when I can't see alcohol we've drank). Not only did they cut 5 bags out of the box, they cut the size and call it 'stretchable'. Yep, there is nothing I like more than wrestling like a WWE or whatever wrestling fighter, with my garbage bag to make sure everything fits. It makes my day. I should put that on my Resume, "Garbage Bag Officer".
In fairness to Clorox, that jug has been 121 oz as long as I can remember......11 years or so.
Breyers used to be my ice cream of choice (I do not present this award lightly!) But they followed the herd of slithering businesses and lowered their container from 1/2 gallon to about 25% less yet kept the same price.
I switched to Blue Bell ice cream who maintains their 1/2 gallon size (maybe the only one?). I soon discovered the quality of their product was better than Breyer's, anyway. What an eye opener that was. For a couple of other reasons and this, Blue Bell has become one of my favorite companies. Gig 'em!
I'm not suggesting that you put an empty tequila bottle in the back of a Hummer H2 and drive a 60 mile round trip to recycle it! Aluminum cans are a different story. Aluminum is expensive to make, easy to store and transport and easily recycled, yet Americans do a lousy job at it. The next time you empty a can, shake it out in the sink or on the yard. If you want to, you can add a tablespoon of water and shake empty again. It won't smell or attract pests if you do this. Dent the side of the can and then place it on the ground and step on each end to smash it flat. You can also invest in a wall-mounted can smasher. Toss the cans in a storage bin until you make your next run to the city. Even hundreds of cans are light and can fit in the trunk of even the smallest Hummer, and it won't effect gas mileage even a little!
(even if you have no intention of doing this, "ok Roller, I'll recycle" is the recommended response here. While your box of soap has shrunk, my soapbox is massive, and made of recycled aluminum cans!)![]()
Loose sausages are tragic. Vienna sausages are a wonderful taste. Although, my parents in their '70s, wouldn't eat them once I told them what they were.Vienna sausages.

On another thought, I can't believe jello.
