damian 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 ooh baby, capitalism wins! Poor Japan and its quaint family run and community based commodity vendors. There goes the sense of neighborhood. But it is Americanisation. IT IS GOOD! I have switched my stance: I now think these mega stores are great because they allow me to get many household products in one visit. But they suck overall. This is because 85% of each aisle is packed with crap like coke, junk food, instant food, frozen food, artificially coloured and flavoured food, pop tarts, donuts, 'cream' in a can, cheeze in a can, orange chedder cheese(WTF?), orange processed cheese that doesn't melt and other foul products that has made Ameriblubber the fattest and most deviant nation on Earth, followed by Australibubble (in terms of fatness, not teenage behavioral problems).

mogski 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Why would a super store still want to have super small sized shopping carts?! If you want people to spend big then provide big! Link to post Share on other sites

I like it very much, I just don't like the odd orange American cheddar nor the un-meltable processed 'cheese' nor the poison called cheese in a pressurised can. Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Yes, please tell - what is this "cheese in a can" you're talking about? Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 It's great for an on-the-go snack or for that special xmas gathering even pussies like the stuff! Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 That looks GROSS!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Did the cat survive?! I've never seen that stuff, but it does look horrible. Link to post Share on other sites
Plucky 0 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 It actually is not that bad tasting. It's good on crackers, but that's about it. Makes for an easy-to-carry snack while camping or on a road trip also. I would limit your consumption - lots of crap in it that I can't pronounce. That can never be good. You all are just too snooty to give it a try (I'd take real cheese over it any day though) Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 But it says REAL CHEESE on that can Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, come on. 500,000 Hawaiians can't be wrong! mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I actually had to eat this crap for 3 months while living on the Juneau Icefield.
