Hmmmm….
Thousands of flights are grounded weekly.
Roads crumble.
Levees fail.
Bridges collapse.
Imported toys poison children.
Under the streets of Manhattan, things are erupting, exploding, and flooding.
Infrastructure everywhere is malfunctioning or failing.
Leaders are interchangeable suits with little to say beyond platitudes.
Coke stopped making C2, and now Lindsey tells me there’ll be no more BBQ Fritos.
I feel like somewhere in the Rocky Mountains, a secret colony of highly competent people is pointing and laughing at the rest of us.
I shouldn’t have read Ayn Rand in college.
C2
The C2 issue was such a bummer (not that the other stuff isn’t bad or that I’m totally insensitive)… I transitioned to it and then HAD to go to Diet Coke to a second, forced, transition. Life can be so unfair. roberta
Re: C2
It totally sucked. I can’t stand Diet Coke, so I just stopped drinking Coke products and started buying those drinks that I made fun of frugal mothers for buying when I was young and bitchy–those GENERIC and STORE BRAND colas.
Re: C2
I buy generic mountain dew to take to work in my lunches. It’s called Citrus Drop, and instead of Do the Dew, their motto is Pop the Drop.
And I’m of the mind that no one should read Ayn Rand >:)
I hate that I had to be the one to tell you.
My condolences are with you through this rough time.
Awful news has to come from somewhere. Better a sympathetic friend than a gloating enemy.
Oh no. That tastiest little snack that I first sampled on that couch (that tastiest couch) in the Borbon Orleans’ lobby, thanks to your generosity, is going away…. Such sad news. I’m sorry about that.

So, bunky, you’re feeling low because you think you’ve lost that manna from heaven, that food of the gods, that subtle and spicy corn chip called BBQ Fritos. Well never fear, your super savior is at hand, and it’s as easy as making chex party mix. And all you need is powdered tomato, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, allspice, sugar, worcestershire sauce and plain Fritos, And tabasco if you feel the need for heat. Sorry, I can’t do anything about bridges, sewers or Coke.
You know what this means…
It means we all have to run to the stores and stock up now, before they are off the shelves. This way, we can keep The Compound in BBQ Fritos for a while longer. I will be looking at my store and contacting that company I bought from before. This is a tragedy.
Ya gotta hate it when they discontinue your favorites.
It’s the Masons. Or the Jews. I choose the Masons, though…cuz if it was us, I’d totally have a stockpile of C2 and BBQ Fritos. And I’d share.
What the hell? No more BBQ Fritos? The world sucks. I agree…there must be a colony of right-thinking misfits hidden away somewhere. Someplace over the rainbow, with BBQ Fritos in all the stores, and they still have 7-layer Crunchwraps at the Taco Bells, and “The Nine” and “Commander in Chief” were never cancelled. Southwest Airlines does not exist, reality TV shows have outlived their usefulness, and almond flavoring actually tastes like almonds. What a wonderful, magical place.
It’s a land of joy and joyness, Chaaaarrrrrlie.
