And I’ll bet it gave you a lustrous, shiny coat!

Grey-Poupon has been making Dijon mustard in France since 1866, and had no connection with those commercials. They had sold the rights to the name in the American market back in the 1940s. And it was RJ Reynolds that owned the American rights the 1980s when those commercials were made.

It wasn’t always like this. Americans at one point did refer to cookies and crackers as biscuits. There was even a company called the National Biscuit Company (which changed it’s name to Nabisco) that still makes both sweet and savory products.

It can have an indirect affect of making it harder to raise money. Mainly because it makes any additional stock offerings worth less.

“Interestingly enough, Stewart’s Shops invented the paper ice cream carton.”

They do have great ice cream. Though I don’t remember them being “Shoppes.”

The main reason many people demonize short selling is ignorance of how stock markets work. Many people mistakenly think that any money made or lost on the markets comes directly from the companies listed. But aside from dividends or companies buying back stock, that’s not true at all.

“Oraetta getting caught because Doctor Harvard failed to die just underlines how sloppy her attempt to murder him was.”

Next we’ll be seeing fortified wines with names like Donkey Punch, Cleveland Steamer, and Dirty Sanchez.

But... you left out Soros, antifa & BLM!

Followed immediately by, “But at least it wasn’t Ivanka! Or Jared - the son I never had.”

Oh, some are definitely assholes...

That’s the topic of an upcoming article on The Takeout. But can you waffle it?

It can also help for scheduling to put some bills on autopay using your credit card. But I would only recommend this if you pay off that credit card every month! You do not want regular bills to start being added to a balance you aren’t able to pay.

Yeah, I suspect the person who wrote this has maybe never had anything other than store-bought pumpkin pie. Or that whoever makes it for them is not using a good recipe (or is just a bad baker). Pumpkin pie is my favorite, but only homemade with real pumpkin. By which I mean not the stuff from a can.

Anagrams of “Wolf Blitzer” are Blitz Flower and Fritz Bellow.

“Can’t tell you how many assholes refuse to tip “because I’m picking up.” Uh, the COOKS get a cut too, you jerk.”

He didn’t say it was a milk pie. He said it was a custard pie.
