    Sounds like they're perfectly placed to make those special brownies!

    Arnold and Oroweat are shady outfits. I once called Arnold by phone and unloaded on some woman for putting artificial sweetener in their bread and not saying so on the front label. IT WAS ONLY IN THE FINE PRINT.

    Okay, that's a good reason right there.

    But, given the theme of this thread, shouldn't you have said "I once called Arnold by phone and unloaded on some Bimbo...?"
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I'm very wary of these cheap off brand products imported from India or Mexico. Who knows what kind of standards they are made in. For al we know they might be putting pain thinner in the bread. i'mm stick with known brands even if I have to pay more.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
