The New Yorker: The Talk of the Town — the re-birth of Bazooka Joe
“We had passed from being quaint, cozy humor to being your grandpa’s joke,” Cherrie, a forty-three-year-old Canadian with a penchant for bright-colored shirts, said recently in the Topps boardroom, on Whitehall Street. A big part of the problem was Joe. “He was a little dweeb,” Cherrie said.
UPDATE 06.15.06: Dan Goodsell gives us the goods on the good Bazooka Joe.

And it is, of course, a chain.
We lost a fine family-owned restaurant when this revitalization began, and we’ve replaced it with crap.
Which is a real pity, becuase — otherwise — the projects are very good.
I like Chicken Pot Pie. I used to have the little frozen-kind (you know, with the tinfoil-shell that made your teeth ringe when you hit it with your fork?) heated in the toaster-oven when watching “The Wonderful World of Disney.” Except that Disney was on Sundays and we’d usually have popcorn on Sundays, which means I didn’t have Chicken Pot Pies, then.
Whatever.
Anyhow, I bought this big 6-lb bag of Bisquick Instant Pancake mix for $4 (that should make it clear that the pounds are weight and the dollars currency) becuase it had a recipe on the back for “Easy Chicken Pot Pie.”
It IS pretty easy, but it’s pretty bland. I suppose the fact that it was on the back of a 6-lb bag of Bisquick Instant Pancake mix should have been the tip-off. But I’d never bought BisQuick before. And you’ve got to admit that was a pretty good deal.
Anyway, I’d like to get a better recipe. A tastier recipe. And one that — unfortuantely — involves using BisQuick (brand) Instant Pancake Mix (becuase I’ve got more than 5.5 pounds of it still taking of space in my refigerator).

More on the Milk Bags story, courtesy Our Northern Friend:
single people get carton
families get bags
also, you must own a plastic container which is used for years until it wears out which is neverthat’s from my fridge
i displayed it so you could see the milk bag tagyou cut the corner of the bag with scissors or a knife or a milk bag opener thingy
the hole must be just the right size or else it pours funnyit’s always been like that everywhere all the time
the bag fits snuggly
you have to whack the pitcher on the counter a few times to get the bag in
it’s like a suction cup effect
Her point, being that Milk Bags, when sold in multiple units, contain (are contained with?) Milk Bag Tags, that are like unto those of Bread.
This Child of Isreal is not unfamiliar with the phenomenon:
they sell milk like that in israel too and they’ve been doing it forever. at least since ‘83 when i first saw it.
they have chocolate milk in smaller plastic bags. you buy one for 50 cents or so for your brat, clip off the corner and let him suck on it.
Meat for your feet: Wurstteppich
PROJECT the office for organization flat picture enters new terrain and produces real bitebite bites. In the context of the ‘ passages - interior Design 2005 ‘ we showed for the first time the public our interpretation of German cosiness: the sausage carpet, a delightful fusion from sausage and carpet. We say: “ago with the sausage. Let us a piece prosperity into the rooms carry. Because, sausage is too beautiful to be over only eaten.”

As always, I blame the Swiss.
Those Clever Canuckistanis sometimes store their milk in Milk Bags!!! Who’d a thunk!
Actually, I remember getting milk in a bag when I lived in Hungary. You’d drop it into a special pitcher/holder and snip off the corner.
World.org confirms that I’m not alone in thinking this goes beyond the confines of Li’l Old Canada.
