Two Buck Choc

I saw this in a Walgreens store the other day…it took me a few seconds of shallow thought to figure out why the name seemed silly and familiar at the same time.  See, it’s a play on words for the nickname for the famous Trader Joe’s “Two Buck Chuck” wine - because it costs only $2.  Anyways…it looks fairly disgusting.

Cheese Balls - Astounding!

What do you call a walgreens/CVS/Rite-Aid?

The first thought that comes to mind is, “Pharmacy” but it is so much more than that since in addition to traditional pharmacy sundries, they sell loads of terrible housewares, booze, soft drinks, patio furniture, cheap clothing, and stuff you see on infomercials.  Well anyhoo, in a recent jaunt into a a typical Mega-pharmacy-convenience store I came across Cheese Balls - the likes of which i have not seen before:

The bucket is orange, the lid is orange, and the “food” within is orange.

No doubt, the taste is orange too.

But what about it’s Nutritional value???

Yep, you guessed it - that’s orange as well.

I don’t know what the means, but it sounded kinda funny

Sooo - 140 calories and 8 grams of fat in a serving of 7 cheese balls.  Shockingly, these suckers contain no Vitamin A but there is a rather large sodium count of 330 mg per 7CheeseBalls.

Look, it’s not just about the nutritional scorecard that clues you in to the fact that this an unhealthy snack, it’s the fact that this is just freaking gross.

So while you are picking up your blood pressure medicine at the pharmacy counter, be sure to pick up a bucket-o cheese balls to go along with your pharmaceuticals .

And while you are at it, you may also want to purchase the delightfully infomercial-tastic, “Urine Gone!” (as seen on TV!)
