Actually, not that far fetched, when you think that Dextrose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose are all different names for types of sugar, and cereal (especially that marketed towards kids) usually have more than one. Add to that carbohydrates (like grains, which most cereals are based off) generally break down into more sugar, and it may well give them less sugar to just eat pure cane sugar from the bowl.
And that is not counting things like maltodextrin, which technically isn’t a sugar, but is a carb and is often used as a sugar substitute in many things, since it allows them to lower the amount of declared sugars in a product while still basically giving you sugar XD
As an example, I have a box of a sugared shredded wheat cereal I loved as a kid, but now eat as an occasional desert as an adult. The ingredients start with wheat, then go to sugar, then rice flour, then fructose, then maltodextrin, then dextrose, before heading to other things, like cinnamon and preservatives. Of the first seven ingredients, all but one are either a sugar or a carbohydrate (where I live, ingredients have to be listed from highest to lowest amount in a product).
Fair enough. It probably has something to do with the way recessive genes work, as I know both red and blonde are recessive, but it gets confusing to me.
You are not wrong, and I often suck big pans with baked-on bits to soften them and make them easier to remove… but his thought “Told ya” in the last panel hints at a more sinister motive. Possibly along the lines of knowing that, if he waited and she saw it, she would do exactly what she said and just wash it herself, saving him the work.
I have been on the receiving end of this before, but I’m a tad wiser to it now XD
Sheer laziness. They have digital on their microwave (shown in another strip) and an analog clock on the kitchen wall (also in another strip), but this way she doesn’t have to walk anywhere.
Not entirely unrealistic. My husband always has his phone, but 9/10, if I am anywhere near a computer or have my own with me, he’ll ask me the time to avoid pulling his out of his pocket XD
Yeaaah… I have nothing against internet dating, but you should at least meet in person before you even consider the idea of a proposal XP For one thing, people can say and pretend to be all kinds of things on the internet… there is no way to judge the truth of it through a screen, especially as they didn’t even mention video chatting in this, just typing XP
And never wondered why they were all foods and being added under a list of foods written in his wife’s handwriting? XD I’m sorry, but he’s at least a little gullible :P
