Giant SmartiesOh blessed Dextrose. Giant sugar spike for only 39 cents. Spotted at Central Market.

Ate one of those Giant Smarties I posted this afternoon. Primary ingredient is Dextrose – Geek tagline would be “Smarties–Odd Name for Such a Simple Sugar”

To attract the Twilight Sage sparkle vampire crowd – I’d rename Smarties to a more appropriate biological term – “Blood Sugar”

To attract Biology geeks, I’d rename Smarties to H-(C=O)-(CHOH)5-H

In Junior High, my Dad would sometimes make the sack lunches.

He made the sandwiches he liked – which would be a bologna sandwich with Grey Poupon mustard and tomatoes. I couldn’t see the tomatoes because there was a layer of black pepper covering them.

Before you ask, no. No one would trade lunches with me.
