There must be enough people who eat the non-food to keep the stores going. They're no doubt the same people who drive into the ocean when their GPS lady tells them to go straight ahead.

Your column is a thing of beauty. You have found a tone that is difficult to pull off, and yet, pull it off you do, with great aplomb. I love this week's examination of processed horror.

Wow--thank you! I love when people give me credit for things I didn't know I did.

I will never look at the dollar store the same after your very funny, yet ironic take; or for that matter Campbell’s soups.

Somehow you manage to say things in a way to make us see ourselves without judgement as you put on yourself. Brilliant! Love even your cranky posts.

Thanks for the Dollar Store reviews. Very helpful. And the great line—“disappeared after few glorious years, and I was the only one at its funeral”.

Hershey’s yuck! Flavored with butryic acid, high on sugar, low on cocoa, what’s to like?

Thank you for the compliment. But hey, spoilsport, when it comes to chocolate any port in a storm for kids who wouldn't know butyric acid if it slapped him across the face!
