    While not very humorous, some of the most useful permanent items on our shared shopping list include “That spice that ran out” and “That thing I was looking for the other day”. They’ve saved the day a few times over ten or so years.

      This is so stupid and completely genius at the same time. It would absolutely work for me.

      50 melons for grade school math problem

      Actually I think I’m gonna start with:

      “(10x-0.5)/2 snickers bars, where x is how much of my snickers you ate, you asshole.”

      “1 hug” is a regular addition to my fiancé’s list when she asks me if there’s anything I need. It’s a great addition because then I get my hug!

          Pretty much every day I get an update or two about how the James Webb telescope has kicked the legs out from under another one of cosmology’s sacred cows.

          Great to know how wrong we’ve been, but now I’m waiting for updates saying we’ve figured out why.

    Deez nuts

    Edit: Which I recently found is a real brand of nuts. Dee’s Nutz, I believe. So be careful or you may just end up with some unexpected, delicious peanuts to snack on.

      As an aside, do not use Vaseline with condoms. In addition to it not being body safe for internal use, some condoms are still latex and vaseline will dissolve them. Most condoms these days are nitrile, but again see above re: internal insertion safety.

      I feel like this only works if those are the only items on the list. If you also have apples, berries, potatoes, onions, shampoo and toothpaste, it’s just a normal shopping list.

      I’d add a couple of things to that list:

      • Duct tape
      • Rope
      • Burlap bag
      • Shovel

          Oh yes, but that needs to be first on the list for sure.

          Edit: on second thought, make it last on the list. It tells more of a story.

        I don’t know why people are downvoting you on your anti magic bean stance, historically they’ve not been a good gamble with ones money :P

        But this time will be different, I get a good feeling from this guy! Not only is he not out to scam me by giving me dud magic beans, but he’s given me a bunch of extra packets that I can sell to my friends too, and all he asks is a tiny portion of the profits.

        So now I’m gonna have a magic bean stalk and some semi passive income, all from hosting just one Bean party a month at my place!

    My partner does this already. The number of times I’ve found “tush squish” is… I’ve lost track.

    I got him back by adding chicken hats to his online cart.
