Thursday Thirteen

13 things I've discovered you can't take the cheap route on. No generic for this stuff...it's gotta be the real thing or else!

1. Toilet paper -- gotta be Charmin Ultra
2. Pop (or "soda" if you wish) -- must be Coke all the way
3. Chips -- I mean how can you beat Pringles?
4. Cereal -- no matter how hard they try, the real Capt'n Crunch just can't be duplicated
5. Potted meat -- who knows what's in the name brand stuff, much less the generic
6. Lotion - otherwise that stuff just never really absorbs into your skin, it's just a greasy coating
7. Mint chocolate chip ice cream -- nobody does it better than Breyers
8. Pop tarts -- have you tried Kellogg's chocolate? Not too healthy, but delicious none the less.
9. Toothpaste -- has to be Crest "cinnamon rush" for us
10. Dog food -- how do they know it's not Pedigree?
11. Peanut butter -- there's none as smooth as Peter Pan
12. Jam -- Smuckers blackberry is #1
13. Hot dog wieners - Ballparks really are the biggest
