Pop Rocks and Coke . . . .

  • Popular Post

So, I was reading another thread this morning on alcohol - a charming topic that has since delightfully devolved into communion wine in dixie cups - when someone brought up drinking coke with pop rocks and I nearly spit my Protein shake all over my computer screen. This is literally the conversation I had with my husband last night:

Hubby: Hey, I found the pop rocks you gave me for Christmas. Can I still cash them in? (22 years of marriage and always looking for new romantic . . . adventures. Look it up.)

Me: No. You know I don’t eat sugar anymore. I’m pretty sure I warned you that you had to use them before I had my surgery in January.

Hubby: Dang. It was a three pack too. Are you sure I can’t cash them in anyway? Just without the pop rocks?

Me: It’s not as much fun without the pop rocks.

Hubby: sad puppy face

Me: Fine. If you can find sugar free pop rocks, we’ll talk.

Hubby: (not even FIVE MINUTES later) Good news! Amazon sells sugar-free pop rocks . . . in a 24 pack!

Don’t worry. I would never subject my delicate pouch to pop rocks, even sugar-free. Poor Hubby got his hopes up for nothing. Stupid Amazon. Stupid pop rocks. Now I want a coke. Or communion wine in a dixie cup. Instead, I’ll drink my old lady juice: Water with added Fiber and Miralax. 125#s down today! I love my pouch!

Oh my..... i am a little daft today lol

I was innocently reading thinking we were talking about eating those pop rock candy thingies, i did not realise till much later that there were other uses for them other than putting them in your mouth!

I obviously have a lot to learn regarding candy lol *blush*

@ I'm pretty sure it still involves putting them in your mouth! :D:P;-)
ROTFLMAO

LMBO! This sound like my hubby-literally! I'll have to read this thread to him. Of course I'm sure that will start the whole conversation of whether I ate all of my Protein today & his offering of a high protein snack :P:D

OMFG

Omg, I needed the laugh today. If it were BEFORE surgery I probably would have peed my pants.

I work for a nation wide oxygen and respiratory company. When I first started we were using battery operated oxygen conserving devices. You can't use petroleum products with oxygen because of the possibility of spontaneous combustion. I was behind one of our customers in Safeway and she quite clearly told the clerk that she needed these items so she could have "a great time at bingo tonight". She was buying C cell batteries and KY jelly (water based lube). The clerk looked horrified!

OMG! That's hilarious! Can you imagine the bingo night that clerk was thinking of? :lol:

I guess that is how she puts the big "O" in BINGO.
