NEW AND IMPROVED
It's NEW and IMPROVED!
Yea right,my ass
Excuse me for
being so crass
But I know
that they're lyin'
When they go
and start tryin'
to one of my legs
try to pull
Or over my eyes
pull the wool
If it really were so
it would be fine
But it's only the way they
increase the bottom line
By giving you less
and producing it fast
making damn sure
that it doesn't last
So the next time
you go to the store
You open your wallet
and pay them for more
I can't stand it anymore, the subversive assholes are even trying to convince my kids
that the little shitty undersized Halloween candy that they sell today is the"fun size."Bullshit it is.
The weight on everything is going down and the prices are going up.
Not at the same time though mind you,they usually alternate so you don't notice it.
What is it going to be like I wonder in another ten years?It won't be long before you won't get anything at all.

Hey Rob,
Yeah, my history teacher told me Mars bars used to twice as big fifty years ago.
MiKe
P.S: Maybe the food companies are being secretly forced by governments around the world to reduce amounts of food that contain high contents of sugar and fat in order to reduce obesity, which could possibly cause the governments to pay less on healthcare from people's taxes.
Yeah that's my (crappy) theory.
Sorry.
Hey c'mon I'm only 16.
Not even fifty years ago MiKe more like 20.
You know the government doesn't have that much sense.
Besides people would just eat twice as many because they are so much "fun"
It's always good to see an old face, even if under or over sized at that! Hey Rob, you're a card! :-) AND I'll bet it's the highest one in the deck! ;-)
I'm always complaining to Rogue Wit that they just raise the prices about a month before the next holiday so that they can "put it on sale" for the original amount you saw it worth last month. And it makes me laugh to see people who didn't get it a couple months ago because of the price, who get it then...even though it never really changed except for that preceeding month when they jacked up the price.
I'm so glad to see poems again. Sweet!
Hi Peg,
In a deck of cards I've been told I'm
the Joker but I will say in my defense
that are Jokers are wild.
Really wild.
Great to see you!!
Hi Boabhan,
I didn't forget that you
encouraged me also when you said
you "hoped I didn't give up on the
idea back when I quit blogging but
I see I forgot to mention it"
Thanks
i think that the serving size with the reflection of nutrients and the rda have something to do with it. even now, if you take a peek at the special k cereal, they have a version out now that is supposed to be the "diet" equivalent. but, if you look at the regular and the new one, the serving size on one is one cup, and the diet one is 3/4 cup. just enough taken away to reduce things to a low fat and carb level. asses. anything to appear better for you...
It's worse than I thought PB.
That's really low.
Thing is people will eat twice as much
and still choose too think they're
doing something good.
I remember when I was a kid spooning a half inch
layer of sugar over any cereal I ate anyway.
Oh man.How did I live through it?
lol...yeah, sugar was really good on frosted flakes
and I wasn't a fat child, we just ran off all the calories and fat about mid morning and refuled with lunch. It's hard to do that with our kids now-a-days. I have to be outside when mine are out there and I remember when I was 4 and 5 and was outside on my own. To many crazies to let our kids be kids.
So instead people call them fat and make them eat "fun sized" candy...because they don't want to go outside with the kids.
boy you said a mouthful there...when I was little we could take a sack lunch and walk all the way up town and go swimming the entire day by ourselves (we just needed to be home by 4:30 to eat) and we never worried about anything, cept the bully boy who splashed water at us little girls...and when we were in early teens we would hitchhike up and down the main street. The mill would let out and the flood of cars was like a parade and the guys would get a big kick out of us girls going up and down the street with their mill buds...Don't even think about that now!! My girls will never know some of the joys of living in a town free wheelin--or from the problems that arise in a society that has gone completey deranged!
PS all that from a bag of chocolate! ;-)...I really miss(ed) you guys! :-)
Chocolate...yum. Love the poem!
