confirming MAX loves my pickle juice.

[MAX]

jealous?

[Guitar Shark]

Yes, actually. He's never offered to share his pickle juice with me, the fucker.

We have Hellman's here in Texas, and we're west of the Mississippi. I've never seen Best Foods on the supermarket shelf.

Best Foods is actually west of the Rockies. Damned if I know why they sell the exact same product (and make the same exact commercials) under two different names.

But then I hate mayonnaise anyway, so I don't think about it all that much.

It's not west of the Mississippi... it's west of the Rockies.

The net is a wonderful place... I've often wondered why the two names for the same product... From the Hellmann's/Best Foods web site:

At the same time that Hellmann's® Mayonnaise was flourishing in the East, Best Foods, Inc., introduced mayonnaise to Californian consumers. As Hellmann's® expanded on the east coast, Best Foods® proved to be a smashing success in the West. It was nearly inevitable that in 1932 Richard Hellmann Inc. was acquired by Best Foods, Inc. To this day, Hellmann's® Mayonnaise is sold east of the Rockies and Best Foods® Mayonnaise is sold west.

Yes, actually. He's never offered to share his pickle juice with me, the fucker.

It's not something I offer someone so much as it is something I ambush them with.

Quit dancing around the truth... it was Sharkey's infamous Rash that provoked you to hold out the juice...

Catsup is the Non-Ghey'est of the table sauces.

Let's talk for a bit about "liquid smoke". Necessary ingredient in gumbo if you can't find the appropriate andouille sausage. I always wonder how it's made.

[thome]

I saw a food network thing where they make liquid smoke just like how they make moonshine.

They catch the smoke from burning hickory wood by having a exhaust tube that runs thru a quick cooling unit and the humidity in the smoke turns from vapor to a liquid ...

It is actually liquid smoke.

I am pretty close here, without the rocket science degree "verbage" that I gave up on after discovering girls.
