Today at the grocery store I had a few run-ins with some sassy foods.
The ketchup kept hounding me, asking the same question again, and again, and again….
I don’t know, okay! Let up already!
Then the bean dip decided to pick on my athletic abilities (or lack thereof).
I also had an extensive conversation with the bananas – but they were more impish than impudent, more merry than mouthy…
You got it. :)

Your groceries are a lot more fun than ours! WOW.
What fun. Glad you captured it for all of us to share the smiles!
I think maybe it’s the cold climate… the groceries have to find some way to entertain themselves in order to keep their minds off the freezing temps… ;)
I’m happy to share the smiles; I’m just glad folks find me entertaining versus out-and-out crazy! :)
you have the most interesting times at the grocery store. love it.
Gotta make ‘mundane’ tasks interesting and fun in some way, right? ;)
Wonderful post, I love it! Can’t wait to go to the supermarket and see what messages await me on the shelves. A fun way to shop!
Barb, if any products ‘speak’ to you, I’d love to read about it! :)
Don’t forget those tubs that keep saying “I can’t believe its not butter.” They are a persistent bunch.
Thanks for such an uplifting post right when I needed it most. :-)
As are the ones who *claim* to be butter (even though they’re not), and who keep needling you to agree (even though they are lying); but then when you are so exhausted of arguing that you finally cave in and agree with them, they taunt you by calling you a liar, screaming “Parkay!”
Punks.
P.S. On a serious note, I hope you’re okay… and am glad I could provide a smile. :)
Good grief, Stef! Even the groceries talk to you!
Talk about magnetic personalities —
My bananas just say Bananas. Or maybe, if they’re talkative, organic from Ecuador. That’s it.
I just have that magnetic draw, I guess. ;)
Maybe your groceries just display some of that ‘famous’ NE restraint; whereas our groceries work to extend some of the Midwest neighborly kindness…
I just love the bananas !
Imagine how many people would have smiled back at you if you’d walked around the store with the smile sticker on your forehead. :-D
The bananas were fun. As for wearing the sticker… I suspect people may have looked at me like I looked at the life-vest lady… ;) (http://smilekiddo.wordpress.com/2011/08/23/better-safe-than-sorry/)
LOL! I was wondering the same thing as Hallysann about you wearing the smile sticker on your forehead…I mean, it DID say to put it on your forehead! :) If I saw someone wearing that sticker, it would have definitely made me smile…and laugh…and probably blog about them! :D
True, the banana did say “wear this”… but the ketchup also said “make a guess” – and I suspect if I were seen chatting with the condiments, I’d be less ‘funny’ and more ‘frightening’. ;)
Par-kaay! :) Love it! Love the old commercials you post – they always make me smile! :)
They bring up a lot of fond memories for me. I’m glad you like them! :)
