    weird bit. also, i don't care how far into the periphery you are in America, there are ketchup packets. you'll stop finding ramen and pinto beans several days before you stop seeing ketchup packets.

    ketchup packets that were here before you and ketchup packets that will be here after your bones have been picked clean and bleached by the sun.

    ketchup packets that have looked upon the god and laughed in his face.

      Some biologists subscribe to the ketchup packet origin hypothesis following the discovery of ketchup fossils in the Permian Basin.

    Partying is like the one thing that poor people can afford to do. Beer, cigarettes, and a $15 speaker, boom I'm partying.

    Also, did you not have the drawer full of ketchup packets so you never had to buy your own ketchup? I can afford ketchup now and I still do that shit.

        "Oh, we're having company over? Be sure to set out the bottled ketchup." - me, a PMC clown.

      My spouse uses far too much ketchup for that to be viable. Id probs catch a felony trying to scrounge enough of that sugary tomato to please my partner. Instead I just steal the industrial sized pumps they use at Arbys.

        Yes, with ketchup packets organized in chronological order so that you use the oldest ones first out of the drawer and don't end up with one of those stale packets where the ketchup is all dark and there's a bunch of ketchup juice.

    are there any people who can get pinto beans and ramen noodles but not store brand mac n cheese? what a bizarre line to draw lmao

      Paradoxically, beans are cheaper but less available. It's more likely to find ramen and box mac at a gas station in a food desert than it is to find pinto beans.

    Shit, this is great. A wonderful retread of the Jeff Foxworthy "You Might Be A Redneck, If..." bit.

    Nobody should be in government, if you haven't peed in your own mouth instead of brushing your teeth.

    If I saw her on the street I'd rob her then shoot her. After all, poor people can't afford to have a conscience :)
