Trader Joe's has the most amazing assortment of Foods That Are Like Heroin Or Crack or Some Other Debilitating Drug To Me. Here is a short list:

  • Chili Lemon Pistachio Nuts
  • Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels
  • Spanish Manchego Cheese
  • Super Sweet Corn
  • Butternut Squash Ravioli
  • Mochi Green Tea Ice Cream
  • Crystalline Ginger Cookies
  • Comte Gruyere Cheese
  • Chocolate Oranges
I stagger out realizing that I just blew $50 and I still need groceries. I need help or at least more of these chili lemon pistachios HLAGHAGLAHGLAGHAGLHAGLAHGAGLHAG

Heh. I don't see the two-buck chuck on that list.

Personally, I've never had the stuff, but then again I've never had a desire to go fend off yuppies in suburbans, either.

The two-buck chuck is crap. It's cooking wine. Somehow a marketing phenom resulted where people believe it's good, so they drink it.

I've seen the shrinkwrap and the damage done

You can send me the manchego cheese if you feel the need to kick the habit. Or anything else on that list.

I am *so* hungry now.

If I can't find those pistachios here, I'm making some. BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!

An interesting side note is that the first place I saw peanut butter pretzels was at the dog food shop... I got a bag of them for Una as a treat, and we were all very tempted to eat them ourselves. I wonder which chicken came first?

Have you had chocolate covered orange peel? Blaaaghalaguhalugahualughuaglllluhhhhhh. Oh my.
