HAHAHAHA!! ... Foil stock ... HAHAHAHA!!

Thanks for the heads up. I tried to punch mine in today but found it too difficult without a utensil so I put it off for another time. After all of these years I never even noticed them before I saw this video.

I think he missed the mark on the Reynolds Wrap tabs. After running downstairs to try this, it seems what those tabs -really- do, is keep the roll from turning at all.

Mow I have to go buy another box...I smell someone with stock in aluminum foil.

Thanks I don't think I'll promote it right now, since there are only a handful of folks logged in, but I'll do it as soon as prime time rolls around again.

You just received a gift of 2 Power Points from member @Stormsinger. What a gorgeous specimen of awesomeness.

I meant to answer the 2nd part of your comment too... I have spent my entire life ignoring food fads For instance, I ate butter and cheese when it was considered madness to do so, and still do now that everyone else has caught up to the fact that margarine isn't really that much better (if at all, depending on type) and that a little cheese won't hurt either. I ate normal seasonal fruit (apples, oranges, strawberries etc.) when goji berries were all the rage, and still do now that people have pointed out that superfoods aren't really that different from normal ones

Perhaps I haven't totally ignored the fads, since I seem to recall some of them, but I have tried not to drastically change my diet in response to them.

One of my work colleagues bought in to a "liver cleansing" diet, and spent a whole week eating nothing but apples! I don't think that is a good idea at all, and I think that afterwards he pretty much agreed with me (and never wanted to see another apple).

Frankly, I've had to tune them all out in self-defense, or I'd be switching my lifestyle on a yearly basis to go along with the latest fad.

Thanks for the report!

I have been cringing right and left on my end, per usual. Not in conversation, but watching television. Even CraigyFerg has been letting me down lately -- usually he is good for "woman" not "girl."

Ah well. The world still spins.

Hey, I wanted to report on our little experiment. After what, about 4 weeks, I still have almost no incidents outside of comedy routines where the words came up. There couldn't have been more then 4 or 5 examples, and two of those used the both variations of both words in the same conversation, so changing them made little difference.

Not much to report, but it may well explain why I think the issue just isn't a big one. My life is not very close to average, so I understand that others may have different results or views.

Was an interesting concept though. Thanks for the stretch.

I don't know what that means [edit -- wall of text thingy]. The Sift is the only place I have ever hung out and commented.

It isn't often that someone has such ... discharge.... maybe we don't really need it here? Even though I don't know what it means?

Oh gawd. What a fricking long post. Sorry.


We need comment tags like wall-of-text, maybe? Used to have those a lot on GEnie.

bareboards2 says...

You are so cool, I can't hardly stand it.

It is weird to have antenna tuned to these four words, isn't it? If nothing else comes out of this exchange, knowing that that happened for a day or two, and that you noticed the noticing, is deeply fascinating to me.

Thanks!

(You know, reading an online article with the word "man" in it counts towards this experiment. A biography of Einstein would have the word "man" in it...)

Storm, you said you would be willing to do this experiment ... have you noticed any word situations like this yet? Gorilla, you never answered my question, so I am taking it that you are declining the experiment?

Have yet to run into any use of any of those words, other than your post... It's rather what I figured would happen. We'll see if it happens over the next day or two.

FWIW, I'm definitely primed to notice any of the four now though, which is a rather odd feeling in and of itself. :
