overheard in the supermarket

May 5th, 2009 at 10:52 pm

Yesterday I was in the supermarket grabbing a few things before the big grocery shop today (I like to go with a friend... weird, I know). Anyway, so I was in the aisle that had a lot of canned items, and the opposite side had Eastern and Asian food. While I was deciding what brand of chickpeas to buy to make some hommus, I overheard a conversation that made me both laugh and a little sad at the same time:

18-20 YO Girl: What? What! I'm not eating it if it's been out for that long!
18-20 YO Boy: I took it out of the freezer the day before yesterday and put it in the fridge!
Girl: That's frigging disgusting!
Boy: It's *still frozen*
Girl: How can it be still frozen?!
Boy: It hasn't defrosted yet, duh.
Girl: Well that's even more gross. I'm not eating it.
Boy: It's still frozen you idiot. It's fine. There's nothing wrong with it.
Girl: I'm NOT eating it if it's been out of the freezer for three days.
Boy: Well, whatever, I'll eat it. You can cook your own meal.
Girl: Fine we'll *EAT* it then.
The girl storms off, the boy puts taco shells in his basket and follows.



Can I just say, HAHAHA.

It was the funniest thing I've witnessed in a supermarket in a long time.

    Some of the funniest conversations can be overheard in the grocery store. It is a great place to observe people.

    Oh dear. Sounds like someone needs a little education in food safety.

    I wonder if the poor girl has only ever eaten freezer meals and doesn't know that you defrost some things before cooking.
