While buying a quantity of Sam’s Peanut Butter Cups to conduct ballistic tests, my heat-induced wanderings through Wal-Mart’s aisles revealed three things:
1) A ghostly vision of Sam Walton spying on his employees for signs of unionizing, and
2) & 3) The most obscene product names I’ve seen this week – Otis Spunkmeyer Muffins and Hamburger Helper Potatoes Stroganoff.
I cannot imagine putting anything called Otis Spunkmeyer Muffins in my mouth. I think you’d need to wear a hazmat suit just to pass the things out at church bake sales.

You should visit an Asian market sometime.
The product names are outstanding.
Cuttle Fish Balls, anyone?
(minced fish pressed into a round shape)

I think I could handle cuttlefish balls over Spunkmeyer muffins most days . . .
