Ain’t that America?
By briantologist | December 20, 2004
In continuation of our discussion of everyday fucked-up shit, particularly in the Albertson’s on 15th and Lewis, here, for your consideration, is a picture of a colossal fake bowl of snack mix.
Seriously, it’s roughly twelve feet in diameter.

Brianbyrne! You have to post a picture of that weird two-faced one-headed chef guy hanging over the Deli or Snack Central or Beverage Alley or whatever that I think looks like you!

I think it’s nice how you got the Health Chips placard into the shot. Somehow it makes me think that three foot long cheetos are a healthy alternative to fattening foods like. . . uh, something less healthy.

Man, that’s weird. I gotta say though, if they gave awards for best giant fake food, this would have to take it.

The junk-food aliens are invading your grocery store! Look out, carb-counters! They will inflict their triple-bypasses on us all!

It’s gonna fall on someone one of these days and there will be a photo of crumpled legs poking out from under a giant Chee-to. Kind of like the Wicked Witch of the Midwest.

I so want that for my living room…

I know! Wouldn’t that rule? “Would you care for (whips out giant cheeto) A CHEETO?!?”

God, Albertson’s really IS my store.

Get a picture of the guy that wears a Star Trek outfit under his uniform. The one that gives shouts out over the loudspeaker to his buddies in the deli.

Or the drag queen that works in the deli.

The guy that says ROMANTICAL! I love that guy!

If that thing ever crashes, save me a Chex piece. Preferably wheat.

It’d be awesome. You could live off it for a week.

OMG! We totally have a hairnet having, sculpted-eyebrows working, full bore drag queen in our deli here in Hollywood! I guess that’s not so surprising, though, is it…

I’ve worked in groceries for like 11 years, so I can pretend to be disgusted, but inwardly I’m giddy trying to formulate a schematic for my district.

they say bigger is better. maybe it’s a failed attempt at a guiness record.
December 23rd, 2004 at 7:51 am
Yeah, I’d even be cool with just a handful of mammoth Cheetos…
