A list at the supermarket
January 31, 2006

Inspired by friends who like lists or even exploit lists, I made a supermarket list while shopping:

  1. Do they not sell buttermilk bread in New York? I only got it occaisionally before, but I've looked in several supermarkets, and haven't seen a single loaf. It's not just a brand thing, some of the brands out here have buttermilk loaves in LA.
  2. What does one call a Clerks-style milk maid who is male? Because I think I am one.
  3. Why is provolone the cheapest cheese? Is there something I should know?
  4. In the store I was in they had the soft avocados under a pyramid of rock hard samples of the same. Is that a spatial-reasoning test of some sort?
  5. I like the idea of supporting Ojai products, but how much of a premium over mayonaise and a lemon should I be willing to pay to buy Lemonaise? And is Ojai the kind of place that needs my support?
  6. I was just getting basic staples, but "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" came on and all of a sudden I bought a carton of Java Chip ice cream. That's atypical behavior, and a very atypical flavor for me to choose (mint and cookie dough primarily). Are the Beatles controlling me musychedelically? Does it get stranger if that's my mother's favorite kind?
  7. Should I register some domain using the word "musychedelically" that I just invented?

Old-school comments: 
I'm glad I provided some of the listing inspiration. Answers:

1) I didn't notice buttermilk bread until i moved to the west coast.
However, on the east coast, they abundantly sell sliced italian bread,
which is way better. so really, you win this one.

2) MILK MAN

3) Because its mild and probably mass produced.

4) I always lose those spacial reasoning tests at the supermarket.
Especially when tomatoes are invovled.

my lists end at 4. (divya)
