Adventures In Grocery Shopping

I have some Midori on my liquor stand that I want to get rid of. I've also been thinking about making some Jello shots. I figued I'd kill two birds with one stone and make watermellon jello shots. Paul and I went out to dinner and did some other shopping. Then we went to three different grocery stores in a quest to find the watermellon Jello. It was nowhere to be found.

By this time it was about 9 pm. Paul and I were actually considering driving about an hour away to Wegmans, just for shits and giggles. After some thought, we were worried that we would get all the way over there and the place would be closed. So we called his Mom and asked her to call the store to find out what time they close and if they have watermellon Jello.

I'm sure she was thinking we were on serious drugs at this point, but a few minutes later she called back and told us (now, get this) that watermellon Jello is only available in spring and summer. Paul and I were just like, "wtf?" First, it's a little weird to make it seasonal (let's face it, it's not like it has natural flavoring or anything...it's fucking Jello, for crissake). And second, it just begged the question, did the guy she talked to have to look that up or did he just randomly know that watermellon Jello is a seasonal item (which turned out to be the case). How the hell did this guy just know something like that off the top of his head?

Then, just thinking aloud, I caught myself saying, "Well, maybe I can buy some on ebay." Where the hell did that come from??!?! What was I thinking? Why would I do that? And who the fuck would sell watermellon Jello on ebay?!?! I thought Paul was going to pee himself. Could you imagine spending $20 after shipping and handling on a fifty cent pack of Jello?

Not that I checked or anything...
