Anyone familiar with them? They'll be putting a store in Mill Creek where a
Safeway used to be. The pic shown in the ad looks like they have a huge
produce section.

Ooooh. Thanks! We have PCC and Central Market which are nice. PCC has a
smaller produce section but the food is always good and fresh. Will be nice
to have another option.

I actually thought it was an intriguing post. I've been trying to
think of an unusual produce item that can be found in most
supermarkets.

Less intriguing for me. It was an obvious "typo" of the kind
found in countless Usenet posts. Possibly the result of
overenthusiastic autocorrect.

Plain text is a poor vehicle for communicating dry wit.

A lot of drug stores won't sell clove oil to minors... a couple drops
drizzled on a school toilet seat will be extremely disruptive.

No experience, they aren't local to here. I looked at one of the
flyers and liked the bulk bins from what I could see. The rest didnt
overy excite me but then we have lots of places generally like that
here. Some upscale, some less so, and some very inexpensive.

Well, I find custard apples rather unusual, but in the right season,
you can find them in every Australian supermarket.

So there you go.

You probably put lemon Jell-O in the bowl, Saran Wrap across the top of the
bowl and Vaseline on the seat.

We have a lot here too. The people in Arlington are complaining that our
area has all of the stores like this while they can't seem to get any. I do
buy more produce than anything else so I am always interested in places with
good selection.

Well, having a little fun (no harm intended), it would wierd out a USA
person (I'd add Canada but we have somone who objects if I add that).
You don't have Grape jelly (or if you it, it's in tiny jars).

You can find that *everywhere* here, but not there. Heck, I could get
it in Japan! Just not OZ.

Snicker!

I wouldn't say it's common here, but isn't this it at the 2 leading
supermarkets?

<https://www.woolworths.com.au/Shop/ProductDetails/327942/aeroplane-purple-grape-jelly>
<http://shop.coles.com.au/online/mobile/national/aeroplane-jelly-purple-grape>

Or do you mean (UK?) 'jam' when you say (US?) 'jelly'?

You forgot ketchup packets under the seat. Slit just enough to be sure
the direction it squirts.
