“Visitin”

April 16, 2007

Ma chère famille – is this what we’ve come to?
Seulement à la fuckin Nouvelle-Orléans.


(^notez l’herb fausse, là.)

Paper does not belong on a dinner table, unless it’s a menu. Srsly.

Despite this recent abomination, I signed the silly petition. But it’s obviously too late. All is lost.

      Oh yes. I have this vague memory of walking right past those boxes at a 24 Frères or someplace. They barely registered.

      I’m annoyed by how they’re trying to sell these boxes as “the environmental alternative”. Glass is still recyclable, last I looked. Brokers simply prefer the box because there’s less product loss in-transit.

      Nevertheless – it doesn’t surprise me that the SAQ would import such BS. My point is that Creoles should know better.

    Makes sense for a picnic or camping but doesn’t seem classy enough for anything else.

      They’re trying to convince you otherwise.

      Someday: cardboard = classy.

    I loved the juice boxes of wine that I saw in France. I always wondered who would buy them. Parents for children? Picnickers? Mobile drinkers?

      If the commercials showed a baby in a stroller, wine box in hand – then I might consider.

    Soy milk or Pinot Noir? I CAN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!!

    I think wine in a box, no matter how expensive or how good it is, will always be compared to Franzia.

      That reference might be lost on the Canadian/Euro readers. So…

      Franzia was (is?) actually wine-in-a-bag-in-a-box. Once a favorite of small art galleries and brazen shoplifters.
