Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for September 14, 2023

Just raisin awareness you guys.

Probably stays out of the sun, too.

Thinking outside the box of raisins.

And as a sidelight thought-question… Since so many people find the word “moist” to be repulsive, even nauseating, why doesn’t “moisturize” evoke the same reaction?

Oh that’s just “Grape.”

He uses that Gold Bond for Crepe skin. (It is good stuff though)

He may look a little different, but he’s a nice guy with a grape sense of humor.

What the sun did not kiss.

A bit over hydrated.

Don’t let the prunes see that!

As long as it’s not injections.

The results are amazing! She really did come from the grapevine.

That line worked better in an episode of Doctor Who.

A little dry humor from Mr. Parisi.

G-rape.

Moisturizing my foot! Seriel plastic surgery more likely.

They may accept his explanation, but it’s still sour grapes.

Did some of those raisins come from a rabbit?

If I opened a box of raisins and THIS came walking out…!!!!

Those are the tiniest raisins I’ve ever seen. Or else the box and grape are the biggest I’ve seen.

They are dried to preserve them. This guy is rotten.

Because the “-urization” makes it a ‘scientific’ term which doesn’t conjure up any images of ‘moist’.

A lot of things continue to decline in quality while prices skyrocket. I bought generic (Aldi) raisins for years and they were quite good. But lately, they have had a lot of stems are very dry and sugary. They used to have a bit of plumpness and juiciness. Used to be I’d get a stem once in blue moon. Now, it is every handful, there are at least a few. After getting the same bad product with a few more purchases, I decided to spend twice the amount of money (nearly $6!) on name brand raisins. They are the exact same, but with even more stems! Some are quite large. Not sure how they are “Premium” as the packaging says.

I need some raisins that moisturize.
