My mother (born and raised in the northwest) used to hate this about living in North Carolina. I remember she used to come home going. “What the $^%$% is wrong with these people buying up all the bread and milk because they’re forecasting an inch of snow????!!!!” It became a running joke in our family. “Ayagh! It’s going to sleet... let’s go buy bread and milk!!!”
Did you hear Rush on Friday?
He took the “nanny state” credo to the umpteenth level!
It was a hoot.
(Unfortunately, some idiots took him seriously-—they appreciated his warnings not to go outdoors.They’ve already been indoctrinated.)
If they really cared the would a PSA for guns and ammo.
And Pizza! Remember no pizza delivery during blizzards.
And then someone from Texas might think the northeast just got a bunch of DQs.
I went to a DQ in California and they didn’t know about turning them upside down.
Where I live, it’s bread, milk and TOILET PAPER. Do people only buy one roll at a time? Cracks me up every time.
An inch of snow triggers the urge for Milk Sandwiches.
I was listening to the Weather Channel the other day (they are good little obedient libruls there) and the female anchor said something about people doing what they are “ordered to do” as far as not driving.
I kept thinking, ol’ Adolf would have loved her.
I forget where I heard this one... but it was a story of a grocery store employee who was questioning why it is that whenever a winter storm is coming, all the sudden EVERYONE gets a craving for... French Toast!
(bread... milk... eggs...)
That bread and milk stuff is so 70’s.
Here in my neighborhood it’s Beer and Beam.
Bread and milk? I want strawberries with whipped cream on top! Let’s go for the good stuff.
I’m an upstate New Yorker who lived in Virginia for a year. Two inches of snow in Va and no signs of life.
What’s the point of stocking up on milk if the electricity goes out for about a week? It’ll just spoil. That’s just mega-stupid.
LOL I’m savin that one.
ITS COMIN RIGHT FOR US!!!!!!
Bread and Milk? I would rather buy dry powder milk to mix with flour to make something like biscuits or real home made bread.
My Uncle, who lived on the HIGH PLAINS of Colorado, said everyone should always keep two weeks of supplies on hand just in case there was a storm and you could not get to a store. Two weeks supplies does not take up much space.
