Speaking of gooey stuff, I just love Kinder Bueno bars. Not exactly full of chocolate but the Hazelnut stuffing inside makes it one of my favourite snacks. Hazelnut goes very well with chocolate.

OMG. OVATION ORANGE CHOCOLATE STICKS ARE SOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS. TOT~~~~~~ So are their mint ones but the orange one is more awesome!
wyrdwad: Hey, we have different sorts of Aero bars in Canada too! 'Course, all I can name are mint, orange, and dark. ^^; I could swear I've seen strawberry too or at least the Aero word in pink. Might have been at an Chinese grocery store though.
Oh, speaking of Chinese grocery stores, I saw the goofiest drink yesterday. It was called "Asian Water". My mom and I burst out laughing. I would have taken a pic but I feel silly taking out my digital camera in a store like that. I could have used my camera phone but my crazy shaky hands would have done the drink no justice. TT~
yakra: Smuggled goods!? *arrests the store for CONTRABAND! >:O!!!!!!!*
Man, there was something that was baffling me for the longest time but every time I come on here, I forget what it is. :/

Hmm, strange, I've never seen any "American Water" or "Western Water" or "European Water" over here. I guess the folks at the other side of the world are funnier than us Asians. =p

I remember one thing that baffles me to no end! Well, more like two! They are: - Why do Chinese TV programs and radio shows abruptly cut off whatever's showing/playing just for news or ads? Such poor planning. No sense of time. 9__9
- Why do their damn talk shows always have music in the background????

Because China is afraid of letting you enjoy something a little too much. =|
What did the nutritional information on Asian Water say? =D?

What did the nutritional information on Asian Water say? =D? I didn't check. :( I just saw the title and laughed at it. Another baffle: Why do skins for portable media players with LCDs NEVER come with a screen protector!? (Well, I suppose they want to charge extra for the thing but still!) |

Why do people insist on over-bidding me on Ebay? After you have overbid $10.00 its not even about the damn item anymore, its about who wins, and I hate the fact that you need money and a sore sense of justice, to pay out good money for cheap plastic.
They don't put screen protectors on that stuff for the same reason everything else is cheaply made now: It looks nice, works nice, breaks easy, its must have, so its a repurchase (you are speaking to a 4 times Ipod owner)

Yeah, unlike back in the 70's things are actually made to break down as fast and easy as possible these days. In twenty years, not a single piece of technology made in the 00's will remain. People will still be using their 70's gear for hundreds of years to come, however.

I just saw the size of the font and the coloured emphasis and laughed at that too. :((((( Oh, and yeah, it's so true that things are not made to last long cuz every company wants you to buy, buy, buy!!!! Cars definitely fall under this evil fact too. :((((((((( x 9999 And what did you do to your iPods!? |

If ya want a car that lasts and is cheap, hook your self up with a Dodge Omni, those things are amazing, and get great gas mileage for being a 1986-1990. Get about 40 - 45 on the highway.
I just got rid of mine because it just was getting really old, I had to replace over 4 square feet of the floor due to rust.

In having a competition with money for an item that means paying more to be a winner. They are pushing for higher $ purchacing with that slogan. |

People will still be using their 70's gear for hundreds of years to come, however. hmm. good point. As consumers you have a choice to own old things or buy new things. That tv from the 80's still runs just fine right now. If you live in the states where digital tv will replace regular tv a converter box will make it continue to work fine. cars. if you live in an area not plauged with snow water and salt. A car can last 40+ years. The car may not look the best but it will still work. Basically what i am saying is you can choose the shiny trinket that is designed to break or you can hunt for things that are going to last for a long time. Things that last for a long time save a lot of money. |

Something that's baffling is how wyrdwad can watch so many freakin' movies during the summer. At a theater no less!

Here's one thing that TRULY baffles me!
I was in the kitchen a moment ago and Queen was playing on the radio. Being too lazy to turn it off, I had to cover my ears in agony. Queen is probably the worst damn band I have ever heard in my life. Truly UNBEARABLE GARBAGE! Worse than what words can describe!
I can't for the life of me understand how a single human being can actually find that even remotely listenable. And what baffles me most is that the people making it didn't get killed in the process, because someone's got to have heard them record it, right? I don't understand how whoever heard it didn't think "holy shit, this is so terrible, this cannot get unleashed upon mankind, it will cause a great unrepairable disaster and the world will end!"
For some crazy reason, the world didn't end. And that's what baffles me.

Yeah but you're someone that doesn't like popular music. :P I find your tastes more baffling than people liking Queen!
(I actually like some Queen songs, dammit.)
More baffling!!!:
Saturday Night Live and MAD TV skits that go on for more than a minute even though they just rehash the same fucking joke over and over.

Bill Murry, Chris Farley ect They are gone, and they were the only reason to watch. Mad TV and SNL has sucked bad for almost 8 years now. |
