Are We THAT Stupid?

Filed under: The Old Blog

So, I’m heating up my frozen California Pizza Kitchen luncheon…Garlic chicken, mmmm….and I notice a short sentence above the cooking directions. I’m peeling the plastic off my frozen pizza, which is rock hard, by the way and crusted over with ice crystals when I read “do not eat pizza without cooking.” Imagine my surprise! So that’s why the pizza didn’t taste the same as it does in the restaurant!

Um, my opinion is that if you’re prone to buying $5 mini pizzas and eating them frozen, you are probably better off staying away from the oven, ya know what I mean?

Which brings me to another issue. Do the advertising moguls of the world think we, the buying public, go around saying things like, “kitchen fresh chicken” and counseling random strangers about their regularity? Are we really so stupid that we can’t peel a hard-boiled egg or drain pasta without some sort of manufactured contraption? That, after nicking ourselves 17 times with the razor on one leg, that we would use the same blade on the other leg? Or that after using dental floss for some twenty years we would get tangled up in it day after day after day? Sheesh! It’s a wonder we can make to the store to buy these products without guidance.

I gotta run. Have to get back to the DMV with my proof of insurance. I sure hope it’s in my file box!

Alzheimer moment of today: the house stinks and I couldn’t figure out why. All the trash has been dumped and there’s nothing I forgot to put away from the grocery store, so I couldn’t figure out what happened. Well, I put one piece of trash in the recycle bin that is only half full. D’oh! Hmm, maybe I am that stupid….
