7/4/2007: Stephen Has Completed "Slogan Slinger"

Ok, sorry for the late posting on this, however, I think it was worth the wait. While I think this was one of the harder tasks I've ever had to do, it turned out to probably be one of the best. I went into the local Ingles and looked for like 30 minutes for everything on the list, except for Calgon. I didn't even bother looking for it, as I have never even really heard of it. I just got a Sunkist and made up a slogan for it, which I think most should find quite amusing. Anyways, the checkout process was horribly embarrassing, but in the end it turned out for the best. I have recorded audio of the encounter. The sound is a bit muffled, as the recorder was in my pocket. You should be able to make out most of the slogans though. Here is the audio file:

6/23/2007: Marianne & Brad Accept "Grocery Scattergories"

I don't know if Brad accepts or not but I do.

6/21/2007: Todd & Allison Assign "Grocery Scattergories" To Brad & Marianne

Ok, this is Allison's idea and a brilliant one at that!

This is called "Grocery Scattergories" and what you have to do is go to your local grocery store and take pictures of as many items as you can that start with a particular letter (you will get credit for either the name of item itself or the Brand name). For example: If the letter is "C", then Cereal would count as one point and "Count Chocula" as another point.
Now, if you both happen to get the same item, then they cancel each other out and noone is awarded a point for the item.

The person with the most points wins! The letter that you need to find is.... "T"!

Good luck!
