Pet Peeves

The Nankins, if you please. Perched upon a napkin if it pleases you.

Nannies - as requested! No napkins, but I'll work on that ...

Captain Cuddles, one of our originals. We thought "Cuddles" was a she, but he already knew his name by the time discovered our mistake. He was a bit big, but had gorgeous coloring . That tail was deep, iridescent green and his legs were slate blue with a pink stripe down the outside - a pretty sharp lookin' fellow!

Suddenly it seems there are NO perforations in the red-bag version and you have to rip at it like a gorilla tearing banana leaves.

I'm dying.

Captain Cuddles, one of our originals.

What a fabulous name for a fabulous guy!

Today's Word of the Day: Solar Plexus. We should all know what it means now. There may be a pop quiz later.

Celiac plexus. Thing you punch.

I will be so disappointed if I finish the book and she never punches someone in the solar plexus! There's certainly enough fight scenes.

Also saw a video where somebody was like "this package says this is equal to 4 regular sized rolls. But I cannot find their original/ regular sized rolls anywhere?"
So somebody actually sent them a pack (...i think it was the company, actually) and it was indeed much smaller (less tp "squares")

Except people pointed out in comments that the original roll used to have more squares, and the company reduced it so they could advertise others as "4x as many squares!"

(Hopefully that made sense.)

Oh, and the squares are so much smaller now! They used to be 4" square and are now about 3". Remember when the roll filled up the holder? Not so any more. This is a perfect example of gaslighting. "Oh you shouldn't mind paying more for our product, look how much MORE we are giving you!" You get this look too. We see you.

Shrinkflation I am trying not to buy candy anymore but even candy bars used to fill up the wrapper and be so cheap. Not anymore. Now it’s like $3 for one… and granola bars… if you want to go “healthier” it’s the same thing. Nature Valley for example. Those things FILLED that package before AND they were thick! Now they’re neither. They’re small and thin and way too crumbly. But at least they’re tasty? Clif Bars used to be massive too. LOL everything did

We bought some Nature-something-or-another knockoff organic Pop Tarts a couple years ago. They were pretty solid. Bought them last year for a trip, and they had spotty frosting, less jam, and overall sad taste. I call them Poop Farts now.
