Really ???



Really ?????  WTF gives with trying to have a piece of cake or pie these days ? You would think it was an easy task ?  Go to the local supermarket, walk to the bakery department, purchase what you want, and simply take it home...  But NO...These dumb ass motherfuckers responsible for packaging these bakery products are out to ruin us.  Have you ever sat down to have a cup of coffee and enjoy that cake or pie you just bought ?
    
Guess What ?  You are going to have to work your ass off to open those stupid plastic containers this shit is packaged in.  They have managed to make the strongest grade of plastic, with a safety seal that almost needs a pair of pliers to open. Why do these assholes do this ?  Are they afraid that someone is going to steal a crumb or something in the store ?
   
Maybe it's just me, or then again, maybe it's not.
  
Why can't the baker just bake and not worry so much about packaging.......

Oh Wait:::::::
     
As long as I'm busy driving myself crazy about cake, let me tell you about Matzos. After all, its the middle of Passover and I have something that really bothers me. You don't have to be Jewish to appreciate this, just a business person, or someone who knows something about business. Actually, anyone who knows what business is will appreciate this.
   
Matzos are eaten during the Passover holidays by most (or some) Jewish families. It is something that is just done...So here is my point...In most stores, most brands of Matzos are sold by the box for approximately $3.99 each.....But....and I repeat BUT....During the Passover holiday, there is a 5 box pre-pack of Matzos that is sold for $4.99.....WTF is that all about ??? A dollar more for 5 boxes instead of one ???
During this holiday you are buying this regardless of cost...So why are these companies selling this promotional package now ????  Why wouldn't they do this during the rest of the year when not much matzos are sold ?   Oh well, what do I know ?
 
Who knows ?  The Easter Bunny ?  The Matzah Bunny ?  Who really cares????
   
Get some chocolate Matzah and enjoy. Just make sure it's not in one of those fucking plastic supermarket containers.

Who shot the Easter Bunny ????? (Extra Repeat from last year)


Nothing to Crap on today, so I will just wish all a Happy Easter and give you a little Easter Trivia .Easter comes from “Eastre” or “Eostre.” Eastre/Eostre was known as the Anglo-Saxon goddess of the dawn, who symbolizes the hare and the egg. In pagan times, a festival was held in her honor ..............Eggs and rabbits as Easter symbols come from ancient times. Eggs have represented new life and resurrection for centuries. Rabbits and hares, because they themselves are so fertile, have long been connected with the fertility of spring — or season of rebirth after the dead of winter...........Easter always falls between March 22 and April 25. The full moon determines the date of Easter. The holiday is usually celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon, or after the first day of spring — March 21. Thus Easter can take place on any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Eastern Orthodox Churches may celebrate Easter later, as they take other factors into consideration..............The decorating of Easter eggs varies from culture to culture. In Greek Orthodox culture, eggs are painted red, to symbolize the blood of Christ, and exchanged. In parts of Germany and Austria, eggs are painted green and used on Holy Thursday. Slavic peoples decorate their eggs in gold and silver patterns. Originally, Easter eggs were painted in bright colors to represent spring sunlight..............Chocolate eggs were traditionally given as gifts in Europe. In 19th century France and Germany, small, solid eggs made of bitter dark chocolate were given as gifts. The tradition expanded with the advent of modern technology and availability of cocoa..........Ham comprising part of a traditional Easter dinner all came down to practicality. In the days before the refrigerator, hogs were slaughtered in autumn and cured over the cool winter (for six to seven months) — just in time for Easter dinner.................Easter baskets are the result of a Catholic custom. Catholics would bring food that made up Easter dinner, such as ham, cheese and bread, to mass, so the priest could bless the ingredients. The custom evolved into the Easter Bunny leaving children baskets filled with jellybean, chocolate eggs, stuffed chicks and any other Easter treat...............
  • in 2000, Americans spent nearly $1.9 billion on Easter candy, while Halloween sales were nearly $2 billion; Christmas, an estimated $1.4 billion; and Valentine's Day, just over $1 billion.
  • Ninety million chocolate Easter bunnies are produced each year.
  • Chocolate bunnies should be eaten ears first, according to 76% of Americans. Five percent said bunnies should be eaten feet first, while 4% favored eating the tail first.
  • Adults prefer milk chocolate (65%), to dark chocolate (27%).
Well, now you are Easter Maven's.  Enjoy
