Petey: It's been so long since I last checked my Global Picky Eater Rating that I'm almost scared to look... Number 117! I'm the 117th pickiest on the planet? That's terrible! I was 23rd! It must be the sandwich Mom made for lunch!! Somehow, it was contaminated with mayonnaise! With mayonnaise it doesn't take much. Just a few stray molecules... Alice: Mayonnaise is the juice left over from when they make school paste!

So that’s why paste is so tasty!

Alice has just given away your secret, Best Foods!

If you are that picky of an eater there is always the second option, starvation.

This is all Mom’s fault! Maybe you could appeal to the Global Picky Eater Ratings judges, Petey.

Agreed, GatoCat! There’s nothing miraculous about Miracle Whip, ick!!

“What are the odds?” Even.

Any one who’ll eat mayo or miracle whip certainly not any picky eater. I have no worries there. I will not eat either.

Thousand Island dressing is good too, sometimes you see it labeled as “sandwich spread” although it’s the same stuff, maybe thicker.

Sounds like Petey is pulling the "Mark McGwire " defense: “I never knowingly ate any non-bland and completely tasteless food ingredients”!

Yeah, and nobody ever picks a number ending in 0. That’s why you need a random number generator. People just can’t do random.

Petey needs to recover by having a “Texas” sandwich: 2 slices of white bread and the wide-open spaces.

School paste juice equals mayonnaise. Quite clever, Richard.

Gotta love the bloated, misshapen lid on the mayo jar and the little specks (may be fruit flies?) above it.

I would find this funny, except that I just hosted my grand-nieces for a few days (9, 7, and 4). My wife (a more tolerant person than I) ended up fixing a custom meal for each three times a day.

my picky eater rating is about 7 or 6…

I think Richard should have saved this one for May 5th (El sinko de Mayo…)

Miracle Whip, the mayonnaise/spread of the gods!
water_moon over 12 years ago
they do not need the desicration of any spread, mayo or otherwise.
Though as a full fledged member of the picky eatters group, I only eat a BL, on fresh sourdough toasted long enough to dry out the bread but not brown it.

“When you bring out the Best Foods, you bring out the paste, er.. I mean, best”.
GROG Premium Member over 12 years ago
Is there a law that says you gotta put that gunk on a BLT? All I want with my BLT is a dash of salt and heavy peppering of pepper.

I am the #1 pickiest eater….i dont eat anything that contains the colors, green, brown, red and orange. All foods cannot begin with the leter r, b and c. Plus they cannot be cold when should be hot and vice versa
cutiepie29 over 12 years ago
I’m not so picky. I just pretty much avoid all “breakfast” foods and seafood. After that, my number one rule is, “food should not be blue.” Even blueberries are not in fact actually blue; they are more purple.
kens over 12 years ago
No, no, no, that’s not why paste is tasty, that’s why MAYO is tasty!
