Bon Bons, Laundry Sheets and the PRC

Coconut Bon Bons

Have you ever heard of the company Windy Acres? I ate some of their coconut
bon bons and they were the best I've ever had. The package contained brown,
white, pink, and yellow bon bons, and each color had a different flavor. If you
like coconuts you'll love these. According to the Windy Acres website, they also
sell hard candy, candy bars, beef jerky, gum, and even honey.

Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets

If you haven't tried the Purex 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets yet...go out and buy them now!
They are detergent, softener, and anti-static all in one. Not only do they go right 
from your washing machine to the dryer after the load is done, but they make your
wash load smell good for weeks.

What Is PRC?                                   

I can't help it...I love reading packages. One of the elements of the package that
interests me the most is where the product is made. I bought a product that said it
was made in PRC. What is PRC?... the People's Republic of China. PRC sounds
more important than MADE IN CHINA, but to me China is China.

Products Shrunk

Lately I've noticed several products I've been buying for awhile have shrunk. I
don't know why some companies have become so greedy that they want to give
customers less of their a product.

This toilet paper roll has gotten smaller. It's missing about 1/2 an inch. Yes...I
noticed 1/2 an inch.

My smoked cashews were 9.25 oz., now they're 8 oz. Not only did the can get
smaller, but the lid is a different color. I guess the lid color change was supposed
to throw my eyes off the size.

For me, what gave this sausage away was its length. I was cutting it into four even
pieces for a recipe, when I noticed that about 1/2 an inch was missing per piece.
This smoked sausage was 16 oz., and now it's down to only 14 oz.

Products Shrunk Poem

Some products I've been buying have shrunk.
In fact, it stinks just like a skunk. 
My toilet paper roll was tall,
but now the roll is kinda small.
The smoked cashews I buy every week,
they're missing 1.25 that stinks.
When I cut sausage the other day
some length was missing to my dismay.
I smelled something oh how it stunk;
It's just my products, my how they've shrunk.

Empty Margarine Container

My husband left a 99% empty margarine container in the refrigerator, and when
I asked him why he said, "I left it for you."
I came from a family that when we used something like toothpaste or ketchup for
example, we always tried to use every single drop. This time my husband took it
too far, because what he left me wasn't enough to butter 1/4 slice of bread. Plus,
he opened a brand new container of margarine for himself, because he knew what
he left me wasn't worth saving. Well...I could've buttered about five kernels of corn.

Empty Margarine Container Poem

My husband left an empty margarine container.
He thought I'd be using it later.
I came from a family where we used every drop.
But there comes a point when you really should stop.
The margarine he left couldn't butter my bread.
He should have just thrown it away instead.
