Scenario: you’re grocery shopping. Casually shopping. Noticing how much things cost.
For any given item you think to yourself, what idiot would pay that for that?
Example: what idiot would pay $10 for a 12-pack of cola/soda/pop (other words for Coke)?
Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to get the price of cola to about half that. Promotions vary, but there almost always is one. Usually something like buy 2 for $9 each, get a third one free, or buy spend $20 for 2 and get two more free.
Basically, just buy a 6-month supply and - voila! - the price goes to $5 or so.
In the last few years, I’ve noticed olive juice - or olive brine - for sale in grocery stores. For non-drinkers, olive juice is used primarily in a dirty martini. It is in fact what makes the martini ‘dirty.’
Olive juice costs as much or more than a jar of olives, so you have to wonder what idiot would pay for just the juice when you can get the olives, too.
Well, I just pulled this out of our fridge.
OLIVES, NO JUICE
I would love to have a dirty martini right now, but my wife has dirtied her martinis in complete disregard for my dirty desires.
So maybe we need to be the idiots buying olive juice.
But y’all, look what I just found!
THANK YOU, GOD!
I love pickle juice! If I had to give up beer or pickle juice, I’d…. squirrel! I forgot where I was going with that.
After working outside, whether cutting grass or golfing, there’s is nothing better than pulling out a jar of cold dill pickles and chuggin’ the juice.
In fact, if you look at our jar of dill pickles, you’ll see that there is just enough juice to cover the pickles.
That’s because I drink the pickle juice down. (Unlike my wife, I am considerate and have left the poor pickles a little water in their swimming pool.)
But back to the pickle juice. Did you catch the price?
Now, before you ask what idiot would pay $4 for a quart of pickle juice, you should remember… I have feelings.
Be kind.
YES, I DID
