I will never again miss my job working in that warehouse as much as I do right now...

Sadly all my contacts there have moved on too and I have no means to confirm or deny said confectionery.

The legend is true. I've seent it. I've eatened it. I've lived it. I've wielded its power as the diabetic spirit flowed through my veins.



At Costco, if I remember correctly.

 

[day_trippr]

Could be a periodic thing. Costco is currently listing "quarter-pounder" size, but not the half-pounders...

When in doubt, check AMZ.

Then looked at the "Reese's Store" linked right under the description. I am now happier than ever that I am no longer in the distribution center there. I would likely be 400 lb by now with all of those different variations.

Back 20 years ago it was something when they started running the shapes {trees, eggs, pumkins...). You would come in to work and you could smell the peanut butter in the air from a case or two that a forklift accidentally speared. We would have to write them off as damage and see to it that they were not released to the general public.

Seriously, some shard of metal could have penetrated the packaging and we wouldn't want anyone hurt...

Edit: BTW this was all above board. Hershey was well aware of and monitored our shrink (which was far lower than contracted.). The only rule was that we could eat as much as we liked in the cafe or offices, but none was to leave the building.

Sounds like you've led a pretty rough life, a genuine salt dog lol

I have had a fun run so far. Not near as exciting as many, but a heck of a lot more fun than others...

The "buying options" are all up around $35. Not being a candy consumer, does that price seem right?

 

[pvtpublic]

What? Is that expensive?

 

[balrog]

That’s like asking if brew hardware or ingredients are expensive.

We don’t talk about that.

Of course: Yankoski said that it’s best to avoid the adult cicadas that have a lot of white spores on their back. “But even then, evidence suggests it's probably harmless.”

Might give a moment of pause.

Three Bob Fergusons now running for governor​

Not surprisingly it was the lawyer among the three that survived...

Bob Ferguson gets two Bob Fergusons to exit governor’s race​

What I would be more worried about are these braces that were installed to keep the rail from rolling over. Now that is scary.

And the fact that there are no tie plates under the rail in this section. With spikes clearly splitting the tie

Vs the other side.

Yea, NY needs more cash in the mass transit system, but what are you going to do...

Edit.. The good news is that the middle (express) track is out of commission. You can tell but the rusty top of the rail, it hasn't been used in a while.

 

[Rish]

I'd just take the meds.

Of course - it’s a Florida Man.
Of course.

Yep, we here in MA have our priorities straight.

That's the Green line. Orange line is another story

The good news is the woman that jumped off the bridge would have met a death sentence into that polluted water. Now? It's quite clean.

When the T posted this story I replied back that I was a soon to be freshman from India attending Harvard. I wanted to know the rules like at home when it's allowed to jump off trains into rivers for recreation
