MMMMM. Turkey & Gravy Flavored SODA Just In Time For Thanksgiving!
uuummmmmmmmmmmm no.

<snip>

SEATTLE (Reuters) - Thanksgiving dinner with all the fixings: cranberry sauce, stuffing and turkey gravy flavored soda. Yummy?

In the latest food fad to emerge in the United States, Seattle specialty soda maker Jones Soda Co. scored a hit this week with the introduction of a limited batch of Turkey & Gravy-flavored soda.

The tan-colored soda sold out in just three hours after an initial batch was put up for sale on its Web site on Friday, a spokeswoman for the company said.

Proceeds from the online sale, where two bottles of Turkey & Gravy soda sold for about $11, were donated to Toys for Tots, a children's charity. Local retailers will start selling the soda from Monday.

25. Ever make a grilled cheese sammich on your iron?
It was a college dorm thing - we weren't allowed to have microwaves or hot plates in our rooms, but we were allowed to have refrigerators. I never used my iron to iron clothes - it was my stove. :D

You can get your veggies that way too.

A friend of mine (freshman i.e. First year) got a pizza delivered to his room almost every night. His father called him once (he acted like he wasn't there) and the guy who answered the phone just held it up in the air and down the dorm hall you could hear his father SCREAMING

"STOP WRITING CHECKS!!!!!"

He wasn't a finance major. They hung up the phone and then ordered a pizza........ he paid.

The funny thing is that "toaster" to me means a toaster oven. I didn't get it at first.

17. I once kept a indutrial sized can of yams for 3 years
It was in an apartment that I moved into and as a joke (to myself) it made 2 moves with me. I finally left it in the last place I lived sort of a house warming gift for the next tennant.
