Sci-fi, comics, humor, photos…it's all fair game.

Hey, Kids! Sugar!

Spotted this in mid-August, during the height of Back to School sales. It’s a school bus-shaped display with shelves on the sides and back. Katie’s fairly certain that the other shelves weren’t all Rice Krispies treats — they were Pop Tarts and the like.

So, yeah, send your kids to school with a ton of these. Their teachers will just love it.

<voice=”cranky old man”>Of course, back in my day, we didn’t have those pre-made Rice Krispies Treats. We had to buy the cereal and marshmallows and make them ourselves. (And frankly, without all the extra preservatives, it was probably more healthy. Or less unhealthy, in any event.)</voice>

(Yeah, still catching up on photo posts.)

Nice Try

Coke Plus: Diet Coke with… Vitamins and Minerals???

I’m sorry, no matter how many vitamins and minerals you add to cola, it’s not going to be healthy.

Oh, crap. Suddenly, I can picture the coffee chains and smoothie chains getting together.

“One iced blended mocha, please.”

“Would you like a free boost in that?”
