Giggle fits and grocery stores.

[kiamarrie]

It seems that last night, Piper had a case of the giggles that spread to BJ. Raditz and I weren't sure what was going on, but we knew the two of them were laughing. They finally came out into the kitchen where we were talking, we gave them those, "Okay, what's so funny" looks, that parents give?

That set them off again. And you know how it goes

Speaking of cereal....

[thevegeto]

I think that its quite unfair to that poor rabbit to not get any of that cereal. I wonder if he will ever reach his goal?

Re: Speaking of cereal....

[kiamarrie]

Not as long as they feel they can get milage out of that hacked premise he won't!

Re: Speaking of cereal....

[thevegeto]

....so true....

What?

[gotens]

You didn't bring me a box of animal crackers?

Re: What?

[kiamarrie]

Aww, I'm sorry, Goten! I'll bring you one the next time.

Re: What?

[gotens]

Thanks! I love animal crackers!

Re: What?

[kiamarrie]

No problem. *g* I need to find cookie cutters in the right shapes so I can make them.

[futurebardock]

Wow, that was really nice of you to pick up that book for Piper. But gee, you couldn't get something for ME?

[kiamarrie]

I bought food, didn't I?

Re:

[futurebardock]

Yes, but you bought food for everyone. *Sniff* I know how it goes, Mom. Piper, BB, and Daikon are your FAVORITES!

Re:

[kiamarrie]

Awww, you're all my favorites!

[supreme_kai]

lepercans dont exist?

[kiamarrie]

They do in the imaginations, folktales, and hearts of all that believe in such things.

Thanks for bringing me along yesterday. I have to say, I've never seen anything quite like that before! I'm so used to food replicators, restaurants, and street markets, but it's kind of neat to have all kinds of food and more avaliable under one roof from one source. It was awfully fun, actually!

And thank you so much for the book! I've been looking over it and it's really interesting. And no, I'm not heartbroken about the leprechaun, though I *am* curious as to why the bee was on the box with the Cheerios and the, um, what exactly was that supposed to be? was on the box with the Honey Comb...

[kiamarrie]

Supermarkets are really an interesting study into society as a whole when you think about it. We have so many brands of the same things, it's fascinating to see what tricks these people use to get you to buy and what people look for.

I thought you'd like that book. I've always been fascinated by mythical creatures. And I find it interesting that pretty much every culture, every race, has their mythical beings. Some to blame for mishaps and problems, others to bring good fortune and luck.

The bee is on the Cheerios because those Cheerios are called "Honey nut Cheerios" and bees make honey. As for the creature on the Honey Comb cereal, you know, I'm not quite sure what that is either to be honest! I think it's a mythical creature invented entirely by Madison Avenue executives, just to make folks buy cereal!

[piper_g]

It's interesting to see who all these things are marketed to as well. Why is it that kids seem to prefer pretty packages to tasty food?

And that's just silly! Mythical creatures don't make honeycombs. Shouldn't they have a mascot that has more to do with the actual product?

Re:

[kiamarrie]

Well, they say people eat with their eyes. I think the colorful packages appeal to the eye and then the stomach follows suit. But, I'm still glad to see that if offered Oreos or one of my cookies, BB and Daikon will always take mine.

I don't understand that creature on the Honeycomb box either. I mean, at least the bee on the Honey Nut Cheerios makes some sense!
