- I misplaced my phone today. When I had a home phone (land line) I never misplaced it.
- I made yum-yums today. They require 12 whole graham crackers. I had only 11 3/4. The yum-yums are just fine. Maybe I'll change the recipe. Just kidding.
Back story:The first time I tasted yum-yums was decades ago. My mother-in-law made them. They're good. We all like them. So I began making them
In those days, graham crackers came twelve to a package. Three packages inside the box. So you could just crumbled up a package. You see that, of course.
One day I bought graham crackers and found Nabisco had decided to put only 11 crackers in each package. Oh yes, they still charged the same--or more. Made me mad. And you can see what it meant to making yum-yums--not that I make them all the time. I don't.
Then one day it was ten to a package. Brother!
So how do you think I feel about nine crackers in the package? That is what we have now. Nine.
- Okay. I'll mention mayonnaise. Quart-size jar. Well, guess what. The jar is no longer a quart jar, which means I no longer get a quart when I pay for what kind of looks like a quart of mayonnaise. If you look at the bottom of the jar, you will see that they make a large indentation in it so that it will hold only the 30 ounces they're now selling for a lot of money. This is Best Foods I'm talking about. And Kraft, too. The jar of Kraft mayonnaise says this on the label: New jar, same amount of mayonnaise. Same meaning 30 ounces. Oh this kind of stuff is not new. Just crummy.
