Thursday Thirteen (We've Caught 22!) - Name Brand Products!

This week's Thursday Thirteen, I pander to the lowest common denominator... yes, I really try for giggles based on silly, silly things... granted, no harm in a little fun...

Sue and I, a while back, picked up a whacky book entitled "Shelf Life" by Rosie Walford, Paul West, and Paula Benson.

The book is photos of ACTUAL products you can find around the world on shelves... and I'd like to share with you, thanks to this book...

How funny! I have no idea how you managed to find all of those foods - unbelievable! I wonder if they are popular in their countries.

Happy TT

Hey Peneloep Anne... Danke!

Hello Nicholas... Well, I hear tell that it DOES work! Boil water, pour boiling water in a cup, place bag of Hardon Tea in the cup and in a few minutes, IT WORKS! One cup of Orange Pekoe!

...that's what you wondered, right?

See the "latest post" on the left here... I've decided to concentrate on other work so this blog is kinda done for me... THANKS kindly to my friends and regular readers... and as you'll note, I am still loitering in the blogsphere... and I'm still online... and I honestly haven't given up hope that we will get our dream bus one day! (We've just gotten REALLY quiet about it...)
