Have you ever counted the kinds of CHEESE there are on the shelf? TWO HUNDRED!!!! almost the whole back of the store. CHunk, sliced, grated, or potted, of darn near all of them. Some only comei n tubes...goat cheese with spices or cranberrys or who knows what, making pretty speckles in them. If the empty-shelf phenominon actually happens, we'll have cheese to see us through.

So true. BUT if you like Camembert and you like Gorgonzola, try the Cambozola. It is the best soft cheese ever. Trader Joe has good deals on it

Let's make this simple. Somebody bring me a Bud Lite and we'll move on.

So true. Too many choices and most of them just taste weird.

I sipped my boy's beer last night and it WAS drinkable ( barely). I asked him if he'd added grapefruit juice to it. He just rolled his eyes, sighed, and looked at me as if to say, "Get with the program, ma. It's the hops." ( Hops or not, Jim, it TASTED like grapefruit, I am not kidding.)

Yeah, I like a lime in a Corona once in a while but I don't dig most of the fruit infused brews.

And, it isn't only true about beer, but toothpaste, bread, and most everything. What happened to plain old WonderBread or tomato soup? So many ways for me to make the wrong choice

Such wealth, when you consider the thousands of people in Eastern European towns standing in line for an hour hoping to buy a cabbage for their dinner...

So true.

We're rather spoiled for choice, aren't we? 🍻

Right across from the football-field-length aisle of beer is the equally monumental bank of boxed cereals -- sugary ones on the bottom shelf so the little ones will find them quickly.

"Kilt Lifter ..." - that one sounds fun! "and Bob’s your uncle!"- The sayings you come up that with I haven't heard before is starting to add up. : )
