Talk about today's strip, or anything about the comic in general. You can also talk about any of the characters... but don't expect a response. They're FICTIONAL, you guys... sheesh. :)

Lemony Fresh Food 6-2-4

Post by Focus » Wed Jun 02, 2004 1:31 pm

This comic hits too close to home for me. When I was younger and my parents were out of town, my grandma decided to cook for us. Well she was going to make Stir-Fry and instead of using vegetable oil, she used lemon fresh Pinesol. I never ate any because it didn't smell right but my brother did go back for seconds just to make grandma feel ok... We then realized what happened, we called the poison control center. It was no big deal and they said it had no long term effects... although that would explain my brother is an idiot.

This happened between my boss and my boss' husband. She bought one of those olive oil containers (cuz they are pretty) to use for dish soap. Her husband was trying to be nice and make dinner. He kept saying, "Honey, I used the olive oil from your new bottle." Of course, she thought he was joking.

Bahahaha! That's hilarious, that poor couple :lol:

Focus, your brother may be an idiot, but at least he was nice enough to make your grandma feel better about her cooking. Eating nasty food takes guts :P

Nah, trying to replace dried red peppers with the equivilent weight in pepper seeds ensures that you'll never be asked to cook that dish again.

Although that stuff did manage to blast my sinuses clean for a good week. And I think the left-over sauce managed to clean out the drain...

Sure, but adding dish soap assures that no one will ask you to cook ANY dish EVER again... Also they might stop talking to you, but that's the price of freedom. :P

One of my mom's friends did that when they came over to the US. They stirfried, they needed oil, they took the lemon scented dish washing detergent. What bothers me is that they didn't notice how thick it was...

Well... they bought dog food thinking it was dog and said the meat tasted pretty good too. And "it's so cheap!" :P :lol:

Today's comic reminded me of something that happened several years ago to a friend of mine. He kept a racing traction compound, liquid that makes tires sticky, in an empty dish washing liquid bottle. It had "Track Bite" written on it with black marker. His sister was washing dishes after dinner one night and ran out of soap. She went into the garage to get another bottle but picked up his track bite instead.

All of the sudden the dishes started getting sticky while she tried to clean them. His mom started to blame him until he pointed out how plainly labeled the bottle was. If I remember correctly they had to throw away all the dishes that had traction compound on them because they stayed sticky no matter how many times they were washed.

The only time I ever did anything like that was when I put cabbage in my taco instead of lettuce. I thought it tasted a little different, but it was pretty good. So no harm done :P

That's funny about the Track Bite on the dishes, though.

I almost put Vaseline on my toothbrush once, but stopped myself just in time.

My mom keeps leftover cooking oil for some reason.

One night I decided to make a cake and accidentally used the oil she had cooked fish in two weeks prior. Bad cake. Not to mention the house smelled like fish for a week.
