I just went out for some evening exercise.. I haven't done that in a little while because I've been so busy
Anyway.. I stopped @ Publix on the way home to get myself a drink.. and ran into this girl.. 10th grader I believe.. {NO I wasn't flirting with her because she is too young lol}
Anyway.. I happened to take 1 peek inside her cart{s}. She had 50 jugs of different fruit juice lol..
When I asked her what it was for.. she said her family is having a party on the 25th lol..
Anyway.. Here's my point to this story.. Have you ever been in the grocery store or anywhere for that matter and seen something so strange or out of the ordinary.. { being behind someone with a 300 dollar order, or 50 jugs of juice lol or someone paying with pennies.. or whatever} lol
I'd be interested to hear what everyone says lol

I didn't witness this...but my mom and my wife saw this at the Wal-Mart in Punxsy last year. They saw a group of Amish, in their late teen years to maybe early 20's with a shoppnig cart full of whipped cream and cubes of Mt. Dew. They must of had 5 or 6 cubes of Dew and 10 to 15 containers of whipped cream.

LOL I have no clue why they'd need that much whipped cream with the Mountain Dew.
The 5-6 cubes of Dew I can understand but not all that whipped cream lol

Are 'cubes' what folks refer to as those half-can sized sodas?

Add a bottle of EverClear to that, and you got a PAR-TEE down on the farm...

A few weeks ago we saw someone in the neighboring checkout line at Wal-Mart with about 1 million cans of baby food!

When we were done(we had about $100 worth the stuff too), they were still unloading cans. I've never seen so much baby food before.

Wonder how many kids they had to feed with that much baby food lol..
Probably had to borrow 1 of Wal Mart's trucks too..
I will add to this 1.. The pretty woman who was my accountant at my bank this morning.. must have never seen an envelope full of $1 bills before lol..
When I showed her my envelope so she could count it and make the deposit for me.. she acted stunned lol..
I guess that is what she gets for being a pretty woman who looks like she's barely over 25.. probably just graduated from college lol

One time I saw this lady buying a whole cart load of Brawny paper towel. There was nothing else in her cart. I thought well maybe it's on sale and she's just stocking up. Curiosity got the best of me and I went to the paper towel isle to check if it was on special.. it wasn't.
I guess she had a big mess to clean up!

Those Amish teens must have been preparing for "rumspringa," when they get to separate from the community, date, drive, and whatever else, before deciding if they'll return to the Amish lifestyle and be baptized in the faith.

They had an episode on ER about a young Amish couple doing that once.

Yup!

The episode was "Missing" and it was right after the one where Romano was killed off.

At Walmart, Sam's, Costco, etc. we always see people loading up on drink items, or similar canned goods. I don't mean a few either. I saw one check out once with over $250.00 worth of drinks only!!! They are generally oriental or middle eastern descent looking so I presume they take them to their little corner store and charge out the ying yang and make a huge profit on the individual cans, bottles, etc.
