Sometimes things seem more special just based on their scarcity. It turns out lot of that scarcity was artificially placed on me by my parents. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I realized I could get Fritos year round and they are not restricted to when the corn harvest begins.

Wednesdays are very special. After all, they only happen once a week.
The Duck Has Spoken.
Naked Juice is really expensive so I only drink it when I get sick. Kind of makes you want to get sick. >.>
I still can only get water on my birthday.
all other days i have to drink juice and pop
Happy wednesday!
happy hump day cake, man i could totally go for one right now. But the sugar would totally prevent me from sleeping…unless I eat JUST ENOUGH that my body can’t handle it and crashes. I love how that works.
that could be why i love icecream so much, we’re only allowed it on weekends after dinner (large family, lack of money when we were kids) and now ive realised its not restricted to weekends only. my friends think im weird for eating it when its -2 degrees celcius but THATS THEIR LOSS
Awesome, today is my birthday, and it’s Wednesday. Two Cake Day!
i love ice cream the only bad part was last night we ran out of chocolate
ice cream i was stuck with vanilla and caramel dipped in chocolate and nuts
the chocolate ice cream was also dipped in chocolate and nuts
Is it coincidence that you reffer to birthday cake on… my birthday?
Wow, Biff gets more for a Wednesday than I got for being Employee of the Month. That’s it, I’m growing my eyebrows out.
Oh no! Rabid Biff is attacking that defenseless cake!
Ha ha, Happy Birthday to everyone that has a birthday today 🙂
@baughbe; You and me both.
My favourite cake is sold by a store that only makes it as a full sheet cake. And though I often crave it, I don’t ever want more that just a tiny slice. A sad Catch-22.
Doctor Why: You’re missing the point. You have a freezer? Buy the cake and a few square tupperware boxes. Enjoy a small slice every Wednesday, and one every 22nd of the month to celebrate Joseph Heller Day.
My favorite cake comes from the bakery at Publix supermarkets in South Florida. Unfortunately, I live in Colorado. My parents come out twice a year, and they are under strict orders to bring cake. If they don’t, they have to turn around and go back to get some.
I feel the same way about McDonald’s’s hotcake/sausage breakfast combo. When I was younger, I would only have them when me and my parents woke up really early to travel somewhere. Now that there’s a golden arches walking distance from my house, I find that they’ve lost their allure.
I’m still searching for Starfruit, I can remember the flavor but no store has them ever.
That sounds just like my grandfather, August. He’ll only get those when he’s traveling. Says they taste different when he’s on the road.
February cakes taste better.
When I was a kid, chicken soup and hot baked custard were two rarities reserved only for when I was ill – but now, I’m tall enough to reach the stove and food-savvy enough to make them. They’re still comfort food, but not as alluring as they used to be.
However, it’s not the quite same – when I was a kid, we lived almost next door to an Asian grocer, and Mum used to buy a particular spice mix which gave the soup a lovely peppery smell and a really nice flavour. The Asian grocer is gone now, and I can’t seem to find the same mix or the basic ingredients of it anywhere. I’ve asked several different specialty shops, and no luck 🙁
@i.half4 Do you realize just how big a full sheet cake is? and how much they cost? Not sure a standard freezer would fit that much cake…….but we can try.
My husband picked me up from the office one afternoon, and handed me roses. I asked him why and he responded, “It’s Wednesday.”
Wednesday is always good enough. 🙂
Anyone remember when we had two Wednesdays a week? Man, those were the days…
We always get the dropped or not-spoiled-but-unsaleable items in the break room. Usually some sausage-and-cheese platers, but if we’re lucky, we get a smooshed cake, broken cookies, or an overripe fancy cheese tray. Today we got a box of brownies. And I just realized I’m grateful for the customer’s leavings. WHAT HAS SCIENCE DONE?
