Why I don’t go grocery shopping alone:

We figured out Ksr Rl is Kaiser Roll, confirmed it by looking, but they apparently were sold out of Bcco Pb Pl.

Any guesses?

UPDATE: Mr. Fab rants about buggies and chillren in the grocery. Chillren in the grocery store don’t bother me much, unless they have snotty noses.

I am SO glad I didn’t see this sign in my local grocery store; I would think it was flashbacks for sure. WTF?

You know, we have all different grocery chains in Cali. When I first moved here, I thought it was hysterical that one of the major chains is called Ralphs. I mean, who names a food store after vomiting? Sick.

@Grannymar: Saving on ink, I guess.
@Gretchen: I used to live where there was a big local hardware chain call Kuesters - sounds like ass. I never thought about Ralphs in that light.
@Scotty: nice try. More I think about it, it might have been a brand name???

Prolly has tobacco in it. And lead. In a great big circle.

/too obscure?

Pb is the elemental symbol for lead (you know…the periodic table).

PI (although on the sign, it’s actually probably PL) is 3.14159 — the ratio of a a circle’s circumference to its diameter.

And I borrowed Scotty’s translation of Bcco.

Another fine example of a little knowledge going all sorts of wrong.

I officially have a headache from trying to figure that gibberish out. Who does Kroger think shops in their stores? They should at least arm you with some kind of ‘decoder’ device.

So glad that you posted this.

I haven’t been able to find any Bcco Pb Pl since my local corner grocery store got squeezed out by Wal-Mart!
