There is I guess a subway knockoff where you can pay for this food that is on the borderline of being called popcorn, although I don't know why you would. Thanks, Ruth, who spotted this inside Walmart.
I'm confused . . . WalMart cannot ring out the actual POPCORN at the registers, but what about the "POPCORN"? Can they ring that out at the registers or not?
Walmart used to sell popcorn out of their own facilities (most have a bakery or other production means, or used to.) The rather large bags of popcorn would be sold from racks located very near the doors of the store. It was pretty good popcorn in general, and rather cheap. Now that a Subway store is in most Walmarts, Subway is limiting what items can be sold in-store, and popcorn was one of them. So to provide popcorn sales on the Subways located in the store can produce and sell the product. And because of the seperation of business between Walmart and Subway, only the purchase is allowed at the Subway checkout, and not the normal Walmart checkout lanes. Too bad, even the quality of the popcorn has fallen.
Wow, this is so fitting for me because I used to work "in" a "Walmart," and I happen to understand the phrase "Do I pay for these at the cash register?" LOL! Great blog by the way!
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

And one must wonder if the "Subway" is really a subway, or not...
