 Toasty SysOp Level 40 Posts: 7,388 Submissions: 227  | I was at the local Wal-Mart last night getting some socks, underwear, jeans, and so on. They decided to shut down the registers from 11:50pm to 12:05am, and I'm a very impatient person. I walked over to the frozen foods area, and decided to scout out something to eat when I got home. That's when I seen them, Pot Pies for 64¢ a pop. I bought four of them and proceeded to the checkout (where I was forced to wait 10 more minutes). Note that I'm not one to care about nutrition, and I don't waste my time counting calories and fat percentages. Look at how healthy the front of this box makes it sound:  35% of Daily Grains!!! 20% of Daily Meat!!! Then I noticed they even have a website devoted to "making healthy choices." I thought to myself "Wow, who would have thought these tasty fuckers were good for you!" So, I get home, flip over the box to see how long to microwave it, and I notice a few other "percentages" that were interesting:  32% of Total Fat 40% of Saturated Fat 41% of Sodium 10% of Cholesterol Mind you, these percentages are an entire day's allocation. Meaning if you ate three of these things in 24 hours, you're a lardass with high blood pressure, and probably will be dropped by your health insurance. I ate two of them. Delicious. They should probably put these numbers in the front all cartoon-y like they did the rest though. |

 Coopz Member 'Penis Size: Massive' Level 35 Posts: 2,398 Submissions: 113 | Wow, nothing like a nice healthy pie!  Still, at that price you can't complain, especially if they even managed to taste good. I envy you Americans at times.... EDIT: Also, sorry for bailing on you from the chat earlier while you were "BRB", someone came to the door so I had to do the entertaining host thing for a bit. Now I'm away to my local supermarket to see what I'm having for dinner. I'll have a look in the freezer secttion after your inspiration! |

PussyLiqour Member 'Pussy "Owner"' Level 7 Posts: 1,070 Submissions: 12 | Assuming you have a half-decent digestive system, you can get burritos from grocery stores for about 59 cents. They're pretty good, actually. Or, gas station food. Cheap and delicious. |

Toasty SysOp Level 40 Posts: 7,388 Submissions: 227 | PL: Exactly like Ramen. I can feel my arteries clogging when I eat that shit. Coopz: No need to envy, dude. They weren't anything special, and I'd have to eat like six of them to feel full at all. The price was right for what I was getting, I was just amazed to see the front claims that "OMG DER GR8 4U" and the back is like "Causes cancer in lab rats." Another thing to note: On the back, you'll see the cooking instructions are a little crazy -- "Use a food thermometer to check the pie in multiple areas (must be AT LEAST 165°F(73.9°C)). That pretty much sums up that they buy low-grade meat from third-world countries. |

 Tommyboy Site Admin 'GIMME MOAR YN!!' Level 123 Posts: 781 Submissions: 21 | Toasty that post made me hungry! I'm off to the store now to cop some of those fuckers. Coopz, let me know how many you want, with the amount of preservatives in them they should still be good when they hit the shores of Scotland! |

Enjoy your heartstoppers if you find some ;) Quote: Assuming you have a half-decent digestive system, you can get burritos from grocery stores for about 59 cents. They're pretty good, actually.

I've been laid off since June of last year, don't really do much over the Winter, and eat just as much as I did when I worked. I'm 220lbs (99.8 kg) at 6'5" (1.98 meters), so I think it does pretty good. |

Coopz Member 'Penis Size: Massive' Level 35 Posts: 2,398 Submissions: 113 | Meh, pizza for me, lol. Still, it's good pizza. Believe it or not it took me all that time to go buy a pizza, a carton of eggs, and 2 bottles of juice. I kept meeting people I know and then ended up going for a race with someone. Pizza had defrosted by the time I got home, lol. That'll be it ready now, BRB yo! |

Me and a friend would literally buy like 10 jam doughnuts each, a few packets of biscuits and 2 liters of coke every single week. We ended up calling the class "diabetes" instead of electronics, lmao. "What lesson have we got next?" "Uhh, Diabetes I think" Shit was awesome. |

Coopz Member 'Penis Size: Massive' Level 35 Posts: 2,398 Submissions: 113 | Electronics class was the best. We got a scalextrics kit, the biggest and best that money could buy. We were supposed to be modifying it and creating electronic devices for it, such as lap timer and start sequence lights, but we never quite got around to that, we just had tournaments every week over our double class. Shit was SOO cash. (I hate that saying, lol). |

 Overlord Member 'Supreme Ruler' Level 16 Posts: 1,068 Submissions: 19 | I do not care for Banquet pot pies. The meat in them is less than palatable. Next time splurge and get the Swanson Pot Pies. Those are the best. Forget putting them in the microwave, use the oven so the sides brown up. I haven't eaten one in five years because they are bad for me. I got a health conscience five years ago and now I watch what I eat and I exercise regularly. Sucks not being 19 anymore. Seems like only yesterday I was drinking a 12-pack of Dr. Pepper a day and eating Gardetto's Snack Ens for breakfast (didn't gain a single pound of weight). |
