magidWhy is it that green is such an essential color in nature, but is (comparatively) not used much at all for man-made things? Blues and reds seem much more popular.
Yesterday I bought a can of cream of mushroom soup. It took far longer than I'd expected, though, because I couldn't find the house brand of soups (the kosher ones), except in cream of celery. There weren't any other blue cans on the shelf. It was weird. I kept scanning the shelves nearby, but nothing. And then I finally noticed that the house-brand cans were there all along... in red. They've completely redesigned the labels, to look more like Campbell's, I assume (those of the "M'm. M'm." fame). Do they think they'll get more people buying their soup accidentally? Or did they succumb to the "red is best" for packaging idea, or what?
According to these listings, some of the local farmer's markets are starting in just a couple of weeks. Hooray!
A banana on bass, a pineapple vocalist, a melon playing out of control, a fighting blueberry: fruit punch jam.
[1150 addendum:
local: nearby place with diet food]
