Pickles by Brian Crane for September 13, 2011

It’s a lot cheaper than an urn.

Can’t be any worse than the other crud in that stuff! Have you seen that ingredient list?!

Her daughter could buy her stainless steel bowls, and crystal, and she would use margarine tubs, and styrofoam cups.

We have lots of plastic food tubs in the back of the fridge, with a tablespoon or two of what once was leftover food.

They make perfect no-deposit, no-return Tupperware for sending food home with loved ones.

Can’t you just see some novelty company making a ceramic cool whip container? Possibly to be used as Earl suggested?

Then she can stick him somewhere in the back of the refrig.

It’s been years since I bought any icecream but the plastic tubs are still useful for storing leftovers, food for the freezer, and any small loose items: pens, adapter plugs, extra batteries etc.

It’ll take more than one.

Gross!

I hope Earl’s just pulling her leg.

They’re cheaper than regular brand Tupperware.

All of the above…Even though they are pro and con…

Reminds me of my parents who grew up in the Depression and saved ever bit of string and nail they found.

My wife stores crabapple juice and pulp in US and Imperial (5 quart) gallon ice cream tubs and freezes them until cooler weather for making jelly and butter.

I used to do that, until our city gave us recycling barrels. I have no problem tossing plastic containers in there, unless it is an unusual size or shape. Then I save it, just in case. Waste not, want not! Younger generation NEVER got that concept.

Oh God….

I hope he hasn’t upset her.

thats where I store random monkey junk, ya know, like nuts and stuff

For us plastic is great for putting extra food in remember to label. Also the containers with deli meats make great containers for lunches.

We do that all the time at my house. Makes it easy to store leftovers.

It’s useful to save them. But know when to stop. cupboard’s overflowing!

When the food in the back of the fridge gets all moldy and gross, you can just throw the whole container away!

Guess Earl HAS urned that kind of treatment.

I wonder if Cool Whip paid a product placement fee. This makes the Death Cartoon Collection at The Family Plot Blog! http://thefamilyplot.wordpress.com/category/death-cartoons/

Earl, when you’re cremated, Opal won’t put you in a container,she’ll just blow you off! LOL.

Yes, I know that was a dark joke about the elderly, but keep in mind (if you would), neither of those two old souls aren’t “going home” anytime soon!

Ha ha, I’m clearing kitchen cupboards today, this is just the kick I need.

That Earl, always making an ash out of himself!
