After three trips to the store, my friend's mother was in tears. None of the round cartons she purchased had fried chicken -- instead they all held a strange greasy white substance.

We had big stores and little shops in the UK but here in CA there just seems to be lots of big supermarkets and so much choice. Everything is massive!

Never felt so overwhelm. There were at least 25 different kinds. I couldn't decide on one so I just left the store. In the car, my hubby asked for a piece. I looked at him and said, "They didn't have our brand." A little lie, but there was no way I would admit that the gum aisle ran me out of the grocery store. LOLNancy C.
