Good Fruit and Secrets
FOUND by Jonni Lu in Santa Fe, New Mexico
Found in the parking lot of a Sam's Club. I don't know why oranges don't come under the heading of "good fruits," and I haven't yet been able to find the "secrets" department in our Sam's. But in Santa Fe, anything is possible.
Now THAT just makes me hungry.
first of all, change the Y to I and add ES.

Secondly, what the heck are "ranch style beans"???

I'm glad she's gonna get GOOD chips this time. I hate those crappy chips she's been getting lately.

Chips Ahoy are number ONE on the list. As they should be.

What kind of animal does sandwichmeat come from? And why don't apples come under the good fruit heading either?

Holy Gualcamoly!

sandwichmeat contains chickenlips and turkeytits. that's what sandwichmeat is made of.

I'm with you Clover... why "apples" didn't made it to the "good fruit" category o_O;

I think it's the list of someone who is definitly trying to eat more healty. I see the "Good Chip" as some kind of "bake-corn-something-something-30%-less-salt-0 ... the "good chip" not good in taste (god no) but "good for you" or so they want to make you belive.

Someone is on a diet. All hell will break loose. My sympathy to her BF ~ (this is, for me, definitly a woman's list)

I wish i knew what the "secret soup" is all about ~

Ranch-style beans either come with a lasso and a folksy accent or are flavored with salad dressing.

My hopes are for the former.

And why aren't the *forever popular, full of Vitamin C and an antioxidant* strawberries under the *Good Fruits* list, either???

But, this author will buy fruit snacks? What, like *Fruit By The Foot* or *Fruit leather*?

Huh?
Huh?
Huh?

SHEESH!

"On the gooood chip... lollipop"

I wonder why she only coolified two of her A's: at the beginning of apples and alvacado. The rest of them are just boring little A's. If that's her way of capitalizing the letter A, then why not capitalize Ahoy?

There are WAY too many hilarious comments today to acknowledge them all. Suffice it to say that my dreams will be haunted by chickenlips, turkeytits, lasso-wielding beans and winkling pirates.

And if Soup Secrets is anywhere near as bad as the box of Salad Secrets my mom gave me, it does not belong on this list of good food.

Love the Finders name: Jonni Lu.

Alright, alright--being in Texas and working about a mile away from the Ranch Style Bean factory, I will explain: Ranch Style Beans are a trademarked name for beans in a can that are similar to pinto beans. They come in different flavors (like with onions or jalapenos) and are pretty yummy with a big ole' slab of cornbread! *stomach growling*

I love alvacados with my sandwichmeats (provided it is kosher sandwichmeats...turkey-tits, chicken-lips are fine, but no pork-snouts, or bottom-feeding-blood-suckers).

Here for a brief visit only then tak in g mom to lunch. Must think about finding a hobby other than Found.
Isn't 'good chips' an oxymoron?

My 7th grade math teacher Mr. Brown would have had a riot with the finder's name. He had this game were he would reverse the beginning letters of students first names to their last names and vice versa. He got a real kick out of ones that sounded mildly naughty or at lthe very least interesting in some way. For example Lori Quickel became Quori Lickel. My personal favorite was Man Sticklevitz.

Sadly this game did not work for my name because the sounds of the letters of both my first and last name are the same. So I was -- ONCE AGAIN --left out of the fun stuff at an important age in emotional development and am probably damaged for life as a result.

Anyway try it with your own name and it might be fun.

Tome Chroaster?
Gight In Nale?
Darmer in the Fell?
Holly--you'll have to sit this one out.

I feel that apples, strawberries, and oranges should all fall under the "good fruit" heading. And if you are getting all that fruit... why would you then need fruit snacks? Eat the real fruit, thats why you bought it, and it's a whole heck of a lot better for you than fruit snacks.
+ July 18, 2008 10:25 AM +
nadine in the Garden of Eden
Maybe it was the whole Eve and the forbidden fruit incident that took apples off of the "good fruit" list. The other fruits that were listed must be on the "sinful fruit" list.

I wonder which chips are good and which chips are sinful.
+ July 18, 2008 10:42 AM +
off to the farmer's market!!
sam's club, ew yuck! although I once ate like this too, minus the shrimp and sandwichmeat, being a vegetarian, or anything hydrogenized..but gardening and supporting local farmers is much better for your health!

@ JONATHAN- Your brief, yet explaintitive(<-sp?) story (and words!) gave me my inspiration and motivation for the day...Thanks, buddie!

@ FARMER- That's the best, damn name for a Fruit & Veggie Stand or Store!!! Remarkable thinking! Imagine, a mobster, changing his name and opening a business as a front, of course. Fantastic!!

@ MLM- Oh...no frickin' fair!! :o( I've NEVER seen those types of beans sold here in Toronto, Canada. I loathe that...sometimes the foods that I want or love, we can't get them here. It really ticks me off! However, the cornbread is a whole other story! My Grandma has a great recipe! Now I'm already thinking of dinner???? It's only 1:35pm...LOL!

@ HERE FOR BRIEF- Again, NO FAIR, damn-it!! It looks as though I'm sitting out with you or by myself...:o(
A g/f of mine once told me that to see what your *stripper-name* would be is to use your 1st name and add your Street name for your last name.
So, here's mine, *Holly Bayhampton*...UMMM? Doesn't sound too sexy to me.! LOL!

I'm not sure if I like Ball Smear or Ball Smear (smare) better. I think Ball Smear (not smare) is winning.

The best fruits are: pineapples, strawberries (in season) tomatoes (yes, they are a fruit), satsuma mandarin oranges, and muscat grapes. Period. EAT SOME! Mmmmmmm....vitamins.

The finder of this comment is clearly being willfully obtuse when he/she pretends to think that "soup" and "secrets" are discrete items on the list, rather than the obvious fact that they are linked.

brain problem situation in my head
Okay, did anyone know that alvacadoes and bannanas and melons and latex are all related, so that if one were allergic to latex he or she (read, me!) would be unable to ingest either/any of them, and many, many other good fruits/vegetables. It sucks folks. Not only am I unable to have guacamole, but no barrier methods for me!

My stripper name? It sucks... Scooter Tilford. Ouch!

Even worse, my daughter's stripper name? Nugget Viking Mountain! Someone call DCS, I just formulated my daughter's stripper name.

I believe the author of the list is referring to a product called "Soup Secrets" by Lipton. They are packets of dried soup mix than are blended with hot water to make a cup of soup for lunch or a snack. Sounds like this person probably works some type of office job, and is stocking up on healthy foods to bring in her bag lunch. LOL can't help but notice that the Chips Ahoy are right at the top of the list! Gotta have something to balance out all the healthy stuff and satisfy those sweet cravings!

Did anyone think that "Secrets" may mean deodorant? I know at Sam's Club you can buy a package of 3 Secret deodorants for about $10. Maybe the writer wanted some "Secrets"?

I know I haven't commented in a while. I have been quite voyeuristic lately...

Though, when I saw the "mitzi-summit-can-you-top-that?" comment, I thought to myself, "No... No, i can't top that... but i know someone who can!"

And that's really the only reason I'm commenting. To tell you that I have a guy friend whose porn name (we call the pet name/street adderess combination a porn name as opposed to a stripper alias..) is - get this - CHESTER LONGWOOD!

It's almost too good to be true.

It's oh so true.

Having lived my entire life in Milwaukee, I had never heard of a ranch style bean either until I moved to Texas! They are pretty good, you use them to make refried beans. Just put them with their included "sauce" in pan, turn on the heat, and mash them with a potato masher while you mix in flour. When the sauce is bound up with the flour, voila (or "mira"), you have refried beans. They seem to be good for you too, no trans fats or corn syrup.

Ay carumba, indeed, Wendy! That may be how YOU use them to make refried beans, but having worked as a teenager at some Mexican fast food places, I can tell you, that is NOT how Mexicans make refried beans. I'm just gonna' say that LARD is involved, and leave it at that. But your way DOES seem healthier :)
