Lost List Number 6

As far as odd list go this one takes the cake. What kind of cake you ask? Chocolate of course! With the pudding in the middle…nomnom.

Okay back to this troubling list. So may say that these items here that’s need for an afternoon my seem odd and suspicious. Though it is getting close to winter here on the northeast. We could presume that this person is prepping for a power outage or perhaps a zombie attack. With the exception of the hand saw and gasoline the drug store (where this was found) does carry all these items.

Who doesn’t have all these items anyways? Let’s read this list and use it as a reminder of what to always have on hand.

Lost List Number 5

Well this one is very legible. We usually don’t post one like this but the lost lists have become hard to find lately.

It would seem here that someone is having a cookout. Up at the top there it sounds like a slow cooked side dish.

Then we got some refreshments. Boring, no booze.

Down at the bottom we are thinking it’s going to be some kind of hamburger helper.

The only odd thing about this list is that it was found at the pharmacy. They items that can only he found there are the refreshments, pasta, sauce and diced tomatoes. Besides the drinks those would be expensive purchases.

Our Own Lost List

So We decide to plant our very own lost list this time. Looking at the items we put on it we realized that it’s not very odd but the stationary is awesome. It’s called the Dead Write notepad, we picked it up at a local Newbury Comics a while back. It looks even cooler when you have the Blood splatted pen in the pad.

We left this in the carriage a while back. Perhaps next time we’ll spam the back with toiletblogs on it.

Lost List Number 4

Yeah thats right. Another list has been found. This list was found behind the Depends all crumpled up. We noticed that this list is very vague.  We like vague. It makes our minds wonder.

So lets break it down then.

Pills. Uppers? Downers? There’s a lot of options here. Do they want over the counter pills or is it a prescription? After looking at the rest of this odd list we’re going to pick up some sleeping pills.

Razors. Have you been down the razor aisle lately? Oh there’s far to many choices these days. You can get one with just one blade on it and all the way up to Six blades. Lets not even get into the different handles and brands. We seen people just starring at all the razors with a blank face. If you don’t know what you want it’s best just to grab a pack of disposable Bic razors.

Ky Gel. Everyone likes to make pretend that they don’t know anything about lube but lets face it, you have seen it in the store. You’ve look through them. You may not know though that there is a large variety of Ky Gel these days. you could spend about $2 all the way up to $30. Not all of their products are lube. They also have a few massage oils as well. Some of the Gel is for fun and some is for a condition. We also noticed that you can pick up Ky Gel that warms up as you use it. It’s best if you’re not sure to just grab the regular original 2oz kind.

Pills, razors and Ky Gel. I don’t know about you what ever this person has planned for the night they can count us out. I wonder what the cashier was thinking as this person placed all these items on the counter.

Cap Thieves

Over at the store down the street in the downtown area we noticed something strange. Someone stole just the cap of this here beverage. After further investigation we found out that this theft was a common occurrence. Just about every week the employees find a drink with a missing cap. Usually it’s sitting in the coolers with all the other drinks but sometimes they find them around the store.

It always seems to be the either a Lipton tea or one of those Nantucket Nectars. We have enjoyed both of those drinks lately. There is nothing special under those caps. We could understand if the stolen caps where coming from a Snapple. We all know that under those caps lies an interesting message. So stealing those caps would make a little more sense.

Perhaps it’s a prank but usually when one pranks they like to be around and see the outcome. We’ve been told that every now and then an unsuspecting customer will grab an uncapped tea and spill it on themselves but no one is around to see it happen.

So what’s up with this?

Colon Flavor? Ew

So we got Kool Aid, Flavor Aid, lemonade, cherryade and so on. Now we have Colonaide.  Now usually the first part of the name denotes the flavor or at least a clue of what it will taste like.

After a closer look at this package we noticed that nothing states the flavor. So it must be colon flavored, right? Perhaps. Maybe they chose the name because it help out your colon. I mean Gatorade doesn’t really taste like an alligator does it? I guess it’s better than jumping on the 3D bandwagon.

Its just an odd choice for the product name. Also this is now on clearance at the drug store so we were not the only one to look at and said “ew”.

So tell us, does the name of odd drinks help you understand the flavor?

Lost List Number 3

Well, here we go again. One of our bloggers was shopping at the store, grabbed a shopping basket and stumbled upon a lost list. First things first lets break it down.

• Non clorine bleach
• laundry detergent
• poligrip
• fruit cups
• pily cheese
• pies
• chocolate MY
• 4 baking soda
• 2 baked beans
• Kleenex
• eggs
• cereal
• assorted pies?

Now spelling aside, this is interesting. It would seem there’s going to be some cleaning and cooking happening. Again this is a bit vague, so let pretend that this list was given to us and we are off shopping. In the meantime we’ll think of what all these items will be used for.

Non chlorine bleach and laundry detergent, well thats simple, they’re getting a jug of clorox 2 and some name brand detergent.

Poligrip. Thats for dentures. This must be an elderly person or an unfortunate younger person. However there is about 6 different varieties of this product. So we’ll grab the most expensive. You don’t want to skimp out on your teeth.

Fruit cups. We’ll assume (and yes we want to make an ass out of you) they want mixed fruit. A six pack will do.

Pily cheese or Philly cheese. Again this a bit vague. Do they want a brick, a tub, whipped, chives, strawberry? There’s just to many options. In fact there’s about 4 feet of this crap. This list looks like they will be doing some baking so we’ll grab they regular brick of regular philly cheese.

Pies. We love pie. Up at the top of the list we saw “assorted pies” then Pies again at the bottom. Since it is plural we are going to grab one of each pie that we see.

Chololate MY.  This doesn’t make sense. We’re grabbing a regular Hershey bar at the check out.

4 Baking soda. I do hope they are on sale and they are stocking up. Unless this person has multiple refrigerators. Unless they are using it in some large recipe.

2 baked beans. We asked around the market. Unfortunately these beans come in cans and no one knew how many beans are in the cans. We do know that each can does have at least 2 beans in them. One can it is.

Kleenex. Simple enough.

Cereal. They clear state that they do not want cheerios. We did notice the Oh after that. So lets grab some Oh’s, those are good.

Eggs. One dozen it is.

Ok what could all these Items have in common?

Perhaps they are making some kind of cheesy chocolate bean dip to go on pies. They know it will be a messy task so they are planning ahead with the detergents.

Would you have shopped differently?

Let us know!

 

 

Lost List #2

Oh we found another lonely shopping list this week in a basket

Each time we find these list we like to imagine that the list was given to us and we are to go out and shop with no other information except for the list. This is where we let our imaginations wonder.

First things first lets break it down

• Figs
• Milk
• Cake
• #7-5-9
• yogurt + ice – cream

Figs.  We enjoy figs, in fact we do have a delicious recipe for figs on the grill. Now there’s no specific number of poundage of figs so we’ll pick a pound of figs.

Milk. Then there’s some milk but how much milk? A gallon? A pint? Perhaps just a single serving. Have you seen the selection these days at the market? It’s a whole damn aisle. We don’t know the person very well, in fact we don’t know them at all so we now have to pick out some milk..If it were a flavored milk it probably would have been specified. With that in mind we going with the whole milk. As far as size, They’re getting a gallon and we are not going cheap. Grab that light blocking carton because that damn fridge light is always on…

Cake. Well, there’s just to many option now. In fact just thinking of what to grab hurt our heads. It could be crab cake, angel food cake, red velvet cake or even this little cake that mom use to pack into our lunches. The list could go on. I guess they getting a very small coffee cake from the checkout.

#7-5-9 Well this has to be lottery number to get. That’s the only thing that comes to mind. Hopefully the market sells lottery tickets that only have 3 numbers…

Yogurt + ice – cream. Or is it yogurt + ice = cream? If so they should have check their math. Maybe it means yogurt, ice and cream. They already had milk on the list. I would think if they wanted cream it would have been up at the top near milk. With that in mind we’re picking up a tub of plain yogurt and a some coffee ice cream.

Well, how do you think we did?

Would you have done anything differently here?

What could those number represented?

Well we saw an opportunity and took it. Nothing more to say but that.

R.I.P. Restroom Vending Machines

Remember the days when you would go into a public restroom and come out refreshed armed with temporary tattoos, pocket sized glow stick and a couple tylenols? It seems that those days are over but some places help us remember.

So there I was in my local KFC. I just downed a double down and suddenly felt the urge to purge. After I washed up I noticed this vintage vending machine in the mirror. My eyes went immediately to the three option at the bottom. As I decided between the glowsticks, temporary tattoos and the extra strength Tylenol I grabbed four quarters out of my pocket. To my surprise the coin slot had tape over it, tape that was holding up the ad for fresh KFC cookies.

Why tape over it and get people hopes up? It would have been more effective to rip the machine off the wall and just tape a bigger ad over the holes in the wall.
