THE DAILY GROANER - Monday, Nov. 19th 2012
Good Morning Groanies,The other day I stopped at one of those discount grocery stores to pick up a few snacks to keep in my desk at the office. As usual I grabbed a box of granola bars and a
Fruit By the Foot-esque snack called
Fruit Strips.
I always found it amusing how stores will essentially have the same food products (similar in looks and taste) but for legal reasons they have to change the name. It's goofy.
It's almost as if these name-brands are ashamed to be seen in these places. Hey, if I can buy a box of Frosted Flakes for $2 cheaper at discount grocery store, well then the jokes on you whoever makes that delicious breakfast cereal.
Anywho, the product name changes are often silly or unnecessary, especially when it comes to cereals. I now have for you the
Top 5 Best Alternative Cereal Names (that were created to avoid legal action).
1. Rhino Puffs (Corn Pops)
2. Fruit Nuggets (Fruity Pebbles)
3. Breakfast Letters (Alpha-Bits)
4. Apple Cinnamon Roundies (Apple Jacks)
5. Choco Balls (Cocoa Puffs)
And a bonus, random cereal name - Huggie Bears (Not Associated with Starsky and Hutch).
They are all creative, all delicious, and all sitting in my pantry just waiting to be eaten by me. I am stocked up for the winter!

Email Steve *-- And You Thought It Was Bad Outside --*Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible."
My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"
*-- Showing Your Age --*After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.
The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's license to verify my age.
I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.
The woman said, "Unbutton your shirt."
So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.
She said, "That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me and she processed my Social Security application.
When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, "You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too."
