The Wal Mart Experience: Soup or Salad?

Dear Wal Mart Shopper: Could you please enlighten me on one thing? Are salad ingredients and accessories so titillating you cannot pull yourself away from them? I mean, that section is not that big. Sure, dressing make up a large part of it. But the rest is bacon bits and croutons, and really, is there that much difference between brands? Sure, sure, I know you need a few to select which dressing you want. But I can usually do that in like, 15 seconds, tops. Does it take a discussion between you, your husband, and your 3-year-old about whether to buy Texas Toast croutons or the off brand? It's STALE BREAD. How can it be that different? Same with bacon bits. It's DEHYDRATED MEAT PRODUCT. Let's all get together on the same page and move it along, shall we?

  1. Actually, give them just a couple of seconds for the bacon bits. One is a soy product (the first soy product mass produced) and another is shelf-stable real bacon -that is what the package says.

  2. Well but that's what my whole point is...you should know before you go in the store if you want meat or soy products...I mean, somebody's not gonna sit out in the parking lot and decide whether or not they're a vegetarian, they know it before they go shopping. So, again, there are only a couple of choices. Do we have to take half an hour??
