Saturday, during which lunch out turned Seinfeldian…
Laura (to Becky): Could you hand me two of the yellows, please?
Becky (handing them to her): You like the yellow best? I’ve always liked the pink best.
Laura: Pink is bitter. I have to have the yellow.
Lynne: Blue is gross.
Becky: I can’t believe you’d say that. You love Diet Coke, and it has the blue.
Lynne: Diet Coke is good. Blue is gross.
Becky: (muttering) That makes no sense.
Laura: Blue is suing yellow.
Jess: Why?
Laura: Blue says yellow pretends to be the real thing and isn’t, so it’s false advertising.
Jess: If it’s the real thing, why not just use the real thing?
Everybody else: Oh, no!
Becky: You have to use too much of the real thing to get the same effect.
Lynne: Yeah, you only have to use a couple of the pinks.
Laura: Or the yellow. Because the pink is gross.
Becky: (ignoring the insult to the pink) I don’t know why I’ve never liked the blue.
Laura: The real thing is suing yellow, too, because if it IS the real thing, then yellow has no right to diss the real thing.
Becky: So yellow is screwed no matter who wins. Either it’s an imposter, like blue says, or it’s libelous, like the real thing says.
Laura: Right.
Becky: Sucks to be yellow.
Laura: But yellow is the best. It’s the sweetest of the sweet.
Becky: Didn’t Craig like yellow, too?
Lynne: Oh, no. Craig liked the twin.
Becky: Oh, yeah. The twin is gross. It foams up.
Jess: (nods)
Laura: Yeah, that is gross.
Ha ha! I searched on the web, but I couldn’t find it, but I could swear that I heard the title of this entry during some episode of Seinfeld!
You know, one thoughts that’s occurred to me at different times when watching Seinfeld is that they really hit on something with their “a show about nothing” premise. It dawned on me that so much of our lives consists of this silly minutae. How many of us have conversations like you and Laura, Lynne, and Jess did? All the time! That’s often what “real life” is about, no matter how much we don’t like to admit it. 🙂
Just so you know, I definitely prefer pink. The yellow causes me lower intestinal distress if I use much of it at all. Even though the “research” shows “no side effects” it is interesting that empirical data shows that it causes gas and diarrhea. “Sugar alcohols (xylitol, malitol), and Splenda (sucralose) are the most popular artificial sweeteners in the US. They can all cause digestive side effects ranging from gas and bloating to severe abdominal cramps and urgent diarrhea. “
NOW that is gross!
That just makes me think of WOW chips. Do you remember those? My friends and I used to call them “loose stool chips.”
I use the yellow and blue. Neither messes up my stomach… or maybe they do, and I never thought to blame the fake sugar… huh…
UGH…don’t remind me of those “WOW! I messed my pants” chips….suffice it to say I ate too many one day and had to rush home.
…If you were Jewish, that conversation would have ended when you all stuffed the packets in your purses. Because you never know when you’re going to need them to save your life!
I’m a yellow girl. Except for when I drink my coffee from Einstein’s, in which case I’m a blue girl. Never, NEVER a pink girl. Gross.
I thought it was more important to save that room in your purse for ziplock bags to “save stuff” from the buffet with…especially if there is shrimp on the buffet. LOL.
I must have been Hebrew in another life.
ziplocks, huh?
…Maybe for the Las Vegas Jews. 😉 Down here we’re all about sugar packets, and hard-sucking candies, and coin purses, and something for your indigestion.
Re: ziplocks, huh?
Was that you that came thru my booth and got all the peppermints?
Didn’t you and I have this conversation on the Night of the Pudding? I think you should be a person for pink. Someone needs to speak up for the bitter powder in the pretty package.
I will always stand up for the pink. Though I do keep yellow and blue here for…you…you…non-believers….
SHUNununununuuuhhhh…. (You could tell, couldn’t you, that the slowdown in my speech was because the unicorns were taking over my brain?)
You guys are looney…making such a big deal out of flavored condoms.
Haaaa haaaa ha. OMG, never saw that coming. You nut.
Hahaha! My first thought upon reading that: “taste the rainbow, indeed.” Which is kind-of messed up since my lifestyle has nothing to do with condoms or the anatomy intended for condom usage.
Hey some of those flavors are okay and some are GROSS. I wish they were like jelly beans and Starburst would market some with Starburst flavors! hehehehe
And didn’t ya know that you can split a condom and use it as a dental dam? I work in the same building as the AIDS educator…I know more than the average bear about condoms.
