Overheard At Work: Second Hand Smoke

It's been a long time since we've had an Overheard At Work episode here at Bob Canada's BlogWorld! Time to remedy that immediately!

I work in a typical office, surrounded by many other employees in cubicles. Although I'm grateful to have a job I like, sometimes the vocal din from the surrounding coworkers is a bit overwhelming. Not to mention odd. Thank the gods old and new for headphones and Pandora.

The following is a 100% true actual conversation I Overheard At Work:

Man (who's apparently in some sort of band): "I don't think second hand cigarette smoke is nearly as bad as they all say it is. Although it is rough on my amplifiers and guitars when I play in a club. And it's hard on my clothes too."

Well fortunately for this aspiring rock god, his lungs are MUCH hardier than an old amp or guitar!

And A Pringle In A Pan-treeee!

I was in the grocery store a couple of days ago and saw this:

Yep, that's right— a can of delicious, Original Flavored Pringles Potato Crisps with a gift tag pre-printed right there on the can. Apparently Kellogg's, who now owns Pringles, believes that cans of potato chips are now an acceptable Xmas gift.

Welp, looks like my gift-giving problems are over! I know what everyone on my list is getting for Xmas this year! Thanks, Kellogg's!

As odd as it sounds, this isn't the first time this has happened. Last year Oscar Meyer printed gift tags on their packages of pre-cooked bacon.

And cigarette companies have printed printed gift tags on their festively decorated cartons for decades. That's former president Ronald Reagan there above, sending out coffin nails (and lung disease) to all the smokers on hislist. It's the gift that keeps on giving, right up until the end!
