Not really that Posh, just love the fresh almond croissants from Waitrose, grab a free coffee from the machine, its a winner, go in my white works van and watch the faces of the elderly posh folk as I park, its a double winner
indeed I do mean Sainsbury's ( a few of my older daughters friends work in our local one ), they shortened it to " sainer's " its a habit
I always add a " s " on the end of Asda and Tesco, it winds my 2 daughters up no end, it entertains me
Groceries here are outrageously expensive compared to the UK.
The big chain stores are a disgusting rip off.
Aldi and Lidl have been making gains around here as a result, where as years ago...people were kicking off about one being opened so close to the neighborhood.
My favourite are the two local Asian Grocery Stores.
They are a full on sensory explosion.
Amazing Sights and Smells, often fruit and vegetables you've never seen or heard of before.
The produce seems to be of a higher standard than the big stores.
The spices and oils are amazing.
You see an incredible diverse mix of people shopping there.
It seems really exotic for a Suburban American Strip Mall and it is waaaaay cheaper than the dreaded big guns.

I remember another ad I saw years ago which I thought was very clever. It was a photo of a Kellogg's Tomato Ketchup bottle turned on its side in mid air. It was used on hoardings. The photo was shot with a large dollop of ketchup just emerging from the mouth of the bottle. The caption read ..."actual speed!"
I'm a sucker for a good ad. Done well, it's art. There are quite a few good Ketchup ones. This one, I think, is awesome.

Edit: I think Heinz did a whole campaign on the speed of ketchup. Yes, I'm an anorak.
The 'verbing' of brand names/nouns is also a fascinating subject and ties in with much of this discussion. Have just googled this using Duck Duck Go as an example!
