@wallflwr926 How could you not answer pizza rolls?!
mikaela20 I am convinced you are not of the human race if you can really have a peanut butter serving size of 1.5 tsp. That's like the amount I put on each bite of an English muffin lol

Hahaha. Yeah I'm cutting back on servings and measure everything. I have LOTS of measuring spoons of so many sizes including an 1/8 of a teaspoon! It's so tiny.

Anyone remember the cheese crackers that were shaped like confetti? My mom used to buy it in bulk so I think it was from Sam's Club. I might have liked those better than cheez-it.
Also, H HATES when people call it Cheez-Its. He says the brand name is Cheez-It, no s. So of course I always use the s.

I always use the s because i eat more than one, it's plural!
That's what I say!! He seems to think that people should be saying Cheez-It crackers instead of just Cheez-Its.
I don't know if Meijer is outside of Michigan (it's a huge store that pretty much sells everything). People say Meijers all the time and he hates it! I find it funny.

They are building a Meijer in my town. Should I get excited?

I have a friend who moved away and lived in Illinois and North Carolina. She says she really, really misses Meijer. It's pretty nice. It is like a Target and grocery store mixed together but better quality than Walmart.

It's going to be like 15 min from my house so I'll have to hit it up. I think I've been to one in Muncie, IN when my sister was in college but that was soooo long ago.

I'm Team YH on the Meijer. Def no s.
I live on the west side where Meijer is based and am surprised by how many people say "Meijer's". Baffled.

There was some article somewhere explaining this phenomenon... I'll try to find it.
I love Meijer!!! They have some in my general area but not actually close enough for me to shop at regularly (the closest one is like 50 minutes away). There is one right near my parents' house, and I used to shop there all the time when I lived at home for a year after college.
"Here's a questions for you. Did your dad work at "Ford's?” Did your grandma shop at "Hudson's?” Do you make grocery runs at "Meijer's? A lot of us have a real habit of adding that possessive "s" to a store or company’s name. Is it just a Michigan thing?
“Many, many folks in Michigan think this is a Michigan thing, that this is part of the Michigan dialect,” University of Michigan English professor Anne Curzan says. But Curzan says she’s heard mention of the possessive “s” used in other states too – places like Ohio, West Virginia, New York, and Missouri. So just what’s going on here? “The website michigannative.com says this goes back to ‘Ford’s,'” she tells us. People in Michigan referred to the Ford Motor Company as “Ford’s Factory,” since it was owned by Henry Ford. But, she adds, “Ford’s” was not alone. “JCPenney got that name in 1913, and I can find instances of ‘Penney’s’ back to the 1940s,” Curzan says, “so that possessive ‘s’ was happening early.” She tells us it’s more common to find the possessive “s” when the company’s name could be a person’s name. There was “Ford’s,” but not “GM’s.” Curzan suggests that adding the possessive “s” is a trend that has also been encouraged by the number of companies who do actually incorporate it in their name. Notable examples include Trader Joe’s, Busch’s, McDonald’s, Wendy’s and Macy’s, all of whose names actually do use the possessive “s.” Love it or hate it, Curzan says the best thing to take away from the possessive “s” and the reason it’s stuck around might be the friendly, homey feeling it lends.

I can't STAND when people say Meijers. But I think regionally, people just do that in general with store names. JCPenney and Kroger in particular.
But as an expat from the south, I miss Publix more than anything in the whole world. Their store brand ice cream came in the best flavors and was SO good.

I've heard this story! I've never actually read the dialogue though. Interesting.
