I had some fun picking them out, I went back to the meat case and all I
saw was these little packages of cut up blocks of spare ribs! First
thing I thought us, BS!, the ad said spares and those ain't spares!

I went to the butcher buzzer and started slamm'in the guy saying that
when the store says spare ribs, that is what I expect to see. I asked if
they had anything not ruined!

He took me back into the meat dept and showed me 4 double cryo packs! I
said price 'em out and they leave with me!
