On Food Stamps and Fingers
You know what? Sometimes when I interlock my fingers I fear they’ll end up stuck that way forever. Imagine how inconvenient that would be, except for those times in life when you need to provide a booster-step to help a medium sized child or small adult scale a wall. During those times you’d be perfectly equipped for the job. All the rest of the time your life would be rather awkward. You know what else? Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City, is proposing that food stamps no longer be accepted for the purchase of sugary beverages, like Coca-Cola or the Boylan’s soft drinks we offer at Franktuary. Normally when I read about a topic such as this one I am infuriated that the government wants to play a role in what people are allowed to...
You Tube
Franktuary is on You Tube. Did you know? Also, people read the Post-Gazette. Thanks to that great review from Munch, we’re coming off our best week ever. We wouldn’t be here without you, Pittsburgh, and we know it. Here’s to many more weeks like the one just passed! In other news, the writer of this blog, currently away from Franktuary everyday, works as a cashier in a grocery store in New Jersey. His first customer yesterday declared, as she was checking out, her voyage to the supermarket to be an “emergency trip.” Will someone please explain how an emergency grocery run partially consists of purchasing 48 cans of cherry Pepsi??????????????????????????????????? I’ll tell you, the world we live...
Just for the Taste of It
It’s been a few weeks now since we’ve stopped carrying Diet Coke here at Franktuary. Most people are okay with that, especially since we’ve got several other diet beverage options. Then there are the other people. When they find out that there’s not a single drop of Diet Coke anywhere on the premises they make a face roughly akin to the one I would make if a kangaroo defeated me in an arm wrestling match while he chatted in French on his cell phone. In the minds of those people, Diet Coke must be a naturally occurring substance more beneficial to the human body than water. Perhaps they would like to bathe in Diet Coke. To those people I say unplug yourself! Just for the taste of it, try something else.
Pop!
Franktuary now proudly carries both the Boylan’s and Hank’s brand of carbonated soft drinks. Just thought you should know.
Musings
Natrona Bottling Company delivered our first order of soda today. Bottled just last week, literally! Come try a Mint Julep today. In other news, Franktuary is now featured in a webcom. It’s called Something To Be Desired. What webcom means is that you don’t need a TV to watch TV anymore! Give it a shot. Lately I have been developing “intricate” graphs on scrap paper. They’re very enlightening when it comes to such things as life and/or the food-service industry. I think sometime soon I might scan what I have developed, thanks to Pixma, and share on this blog.
