I've recently discovered Uncle Sam, described by the reviewer as "Frighteningly healthy; bad spaceman food." Well, throw in some yogurt and fresh fruit, and I'm happy with it. But it takes a little getting used to, as it has no added sugar or other sweeteners.
If you buy organic ketchup (even Heinz Organic), you'll be able to get it with sugar instead of HFCS. That's what I've started doing.
I once saw a Dilbert comic strip in which an Elbonian tries to sell some incredibly tacky tchotchke to an American woman. When she agrees to buy it, the Elbonian tells her, "Your country has too much money."
I look at this, and I think ... my country has too much money.
You have to admire the brilliance of the people who realized people would buy something like this.
Am I the only person who has good memories of sitting with my mom in the car and both of us reaching into the bag of fries as we drove home after a long day?
I don't eat McDonald's anymore, haven't for 7 years, but jeez, I do sometimes eat a protien bar or some grapes when I don't have time to have lunch.
But isn't the fun of eating fries in the car the sharing and the mixing up of the stuff in the bag as you ride home? A professional fry holder seems to fly in the face of such pleasure.
ccweb & bobcatsteph -- bring it to the haters!
seriously, people are assholes (i think that is supposed to be in a david cross voice but i'm not quite sure). i personally love there there are so many people willing to make decisions for me..it makes my life easier. i just wish i could figure out how to make them do my job for me while i sit back and sign the checks.
I so love it when people throw stones from their glass houses.
What's so bad about eating in a car? Have you never been on a ROAD TRIP? Sorry for your sheltered lives.
I have chronic HYPOtension, that is extreme low blood pressure upon standing (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and I can't say how many times some salty french fries have saved me from passing out. Also, I'm not fat, very much the opposite, I'm tall and extremely thin and I make excellent food but partake in fast food when I need it. What a horrible person I must be! Step off your high horses please.
Right on ccbweb!
Yeah, umm, I'm out on that one - someone obviously has a "I eat french fries and I shouldn't have to be ashamed of it" complex. It's OK! Norman Bates, I think your mother's calling you..?
Yes. Indeed. The french fry holder is what is wrong with America. This is the root of the downfall of civilization. Also eating in the car, totally demolishing the pillars of our society.
We also know that all people who eat fries or who eat in their car are fat. They are also beneath us and to be looked down upon.
What is really sad is that the article says the company is currently sold out of this - people actually bought this - how sad. No wonder we are the fattest (and most reviled) country in the world......
While I wouldn't want to exchange my life with that of a starving child in some third world country, I can't help but look at this product and think of some fatso in a minivan full of fatso kids eating fries... I like fries, but I can drive from place to place without having to eat. And please, don't mistake my seriousness to enjoy good and plentiful food and drink. Guess I just had a "serious=frowny" moment , jeeeese...
