Adventures in Signage, Pt. 13

I’m trying to imagine what brick juice would taste like, and all I can think of are certain types of liquor that aren’t available in grocery stores.

I went to the grocery store last night to pick up one of the three things I ever buy there and stumbled upon a new type of Doritos called Tacos at Midnight.

Does anyone think this flavor name is unfortunate?

Is there a follow-up flavor called Diarrhea at 4 AM or Dutch Ovens So Bad Your Girl Will Break Up With You at 10 AM?

There once were some pants in Nantucket…

I’m a huge fan of the Nantucket Nectars Half & Half beverage, a blend of tea and lemonade. I drink it so regularly that I keep seeing the same facts about Nantucket on the inside of the cap.

A letter to Boar’s Head

I took this great Rhetoric and Composition class one semester of college. Our first assignment was to write an “idiot letter” that was absurd, yet convincing enough that a corporation would reply without a form letter. I wrote Hostess and got not only an A for my effort, but also Twinkie coupons.

I still get great ideas for “idiot letters.” Over a year ago - maybe even longer - I was telling someone how much I hated the Boar’s Head deli meat logo. If you aren’t familiar, here’s a picture:

Feel free to bribe me, too, Cash4gold

On Friday, The Consumerist published a follow-up to a story about a blogger who tried Cash4gold of TV infomercial fame, found out that (surprise, surprise) the company rips people off, and blogged the experience. The blogger has since been offered $3,000 (not in gold, I imagine) by said sleazy enterprise to delete the post.

These have to be the gayest cleansing wipes on the market (and I do mean that in a fabulously loving way):
