I've been eating Smuckers grape jelly for YEARS, until tonight. I go to the fridge to take out the jelly for my late night pb&j snack and what do I find where the Smuckers is supposed to be? Fricking Welch's grape jelly. I mean come on, is it that darn difficult to pay attention to what brand you put in the shopping basket?

Oh, get this. The other week she brings home "Reduced Sugar" Froot Loops. What the heck is reduced sugar Froot Loops?  

Don't sweat the small stuff....at least she remembered the right flavor  

reduced sugar fruit loops is like making a high fat apple. I don't get it.

Yeah, my 20 year old daughter is the Food Nazi and has taken

charge of my treats...Real Smuckers jelly and jams are great,

Reduced Sugar SUCKS! To add insult to injury, she makes

me eat it on dirt bread with fake butter.

Anyone up for a little tofu & bean sprouts?

I've posted it before but it bears repeating to inspire others.  

My wife came home with the reduced fat stuff, full bowls of fruit, etc and informed me and my two daughters we were going to be eating healthier. I told her she can buy that stuff but I'm buying normal stuff for the pantry too so SHE will be eating healthier and the girls and I will be eating tastier. She came back from the dark side not long after.

Then kill her...

Dude,  It could be worse.  

You could be the one doing the shopping, standing in line,  waiting for blue hair to write check,  waiting for next person to fiddle around with their keys, wait for next person to go find what they forgot.  Then you check out and go home 45 minutes later.  

If their doing the shopping for you I wouldnt complain.  Just give simple reminders.  Smuckers might be better then Welches but for shopping and standing in line I'd eat it in a second.

Oh how I hate grocery shopping.  Probably the thing I hate to do out of everything.  

yeh i know generic brands are cheaper, and my wife says there the same thing. I disagree. When i want Apple Jacks i want Apple Jacks. I dont want Apple Dapples or Apple rings.Apple Dapple? i cant even say it with a straight face.sounds like a disease. " sorry sir, but it looks to me like you got a bad case of the Apple Dapples."

LOL. Are we not a lucky bunch of men that apple dapples are the worst marital issues we have right now?

I hear you on the generic food. Some I don't care about, jelly for me is fine generic. PEANUT BUTTER though, absolutely not. I HAVE to have my name brand.

lol yeh is Mstar. its funny how something like that can escalate into a week long battle and me on the couch for a while.

welcome to Reduced Sugar club...  8-)

I go home from school for some good cookin' but my parents are on weight watchers. How disappointing is that? But then again I guess its better than the rice and beans and Velveeta Shells that I eat all week...

Im with you on the smuckers!! I would be livid about that also!! That would almost annoy me as much as when I find tuna in the mayo jar or a gob of jelly or fluff in the peatut butter jar. I HATE that!! ;D

I hear you dude! Im a JIF or even Peter Pan kinda guy. None of the Skippy bullcrap!

Women!!! Can't live w/ them, can't live w/o them.  I say go fishing to get away from all this crazyness.

Some things the knockoff isn't that big of a deal, but I have got to have my JIF peanut butter.  Everything else is inferior.  Crunchy for everything but the PB I use to make my milkshakes.

Jelly wise, I don't eat enough for it to bother me.  I like Welch's and Smuckers.  No body beats homemade (apple butter, pear jelly, peach preserves, zuchini preserves, kudzu jelly, strawberry preserves, etc)  anyway.

reduced sugar fruit loops is like making a high fat apple. I don't get it.

LOL

I feel like an ARSHOLE...I called the wife at work today as soon as I woke up and this is what was said.

Me: Babe, what kind of jelly do I eat?

Wife: Grape.

Me: What brand do I eat?

Wife: Smuckers.

Me: Then why in the is there Welch's in my fridge?

Wife: Well babe, the store was all out of Smuckers. I even asked the clerk if they had any in the backroom but they said no. So, I figured I would buy you Welch's to hold you over because I know you have to have your PB&J at night when you're on BR.

Yep, I'll feel like the fat guy in my avatar.

Did you respond to her with "Baby, You're the greatest!"

Do you think as fishermen we ever become to brand loyal ?

I mean variety is the spice of life try new things and expand your horizons.

(WARNING: do not try this theory at Mexican restaurants, it may cause serious stomach disorder and at a few days examining the inside of the toilet )  ;D yes I speak with experience

the only thing I care about is butter, I don't care what brand but it has to be real, none of that fake stuff >

yea, you probably need to buy her something nice after that...that is unless she reads this at work and was onto your post???

Go the extra mile to keep this one. They are few and far between.

You are a lucky man.

You get real Velveeta Shells? Lucky dog!

The store brand mac and cheese is nasty.

I gotta brag on the misses tonight.  She went to Sams after a docs appt today and brought home a two pack of JiF Extra Crunchy.
