I don't know if you're all aware of a store called "Big Lots," but it's essentially a "last stop drop" for a lot of merchandise, so they buy overstock from other stores and sell it for usually really cheap prices. I went yesterday because a friend told me that they had Fuze drinks for $.59/ea.

Long story, short, they had the Fuze drinks, but they also had a box of "generic" brand Animal Crackers. Definitely an impulse buy, but they're sooooo good. Mmmm... biting the heads off little animals....

I lurrrve animal crackers. I think it's because they aren't ungodly sweet like most other "cookie" type foods are.

Yeah, animal crackers are teh win! I loved the ones that came in the circus box, not the kind with the pink and white frosting on top.

I did one better! I got my dog a box of cookies that are in the shape of cats and mailmen (with MAIL stamped across their chest). She's so mean that she chews up both and doesn't even bother to spit them out! :)

Agreed, Animal Crackers are tastey!

I submit that this thread is in the wrong place. It doesn't have a highly emotional policial bent to it.

Hmmm... we need someone from PETA to claim that animal crackers are morally wrong.

Conservatives kill animal crackers!

Thank you, I am now placated.

Does anyone remember the old Goldfish song that said "The snack that smiles back, until you bite its head off"? I thought that was somehow.... wrong.... even as a kid.

Shirley Temple

Song Lyrics

Animal Crackers In My Soup
(Curly Top 1935)

Once Mother said "My litle pet"
you ought to learn your alphabet
So in my soup I used to get
All the letters of the alphabet
I learned them all from A to Z
And now my Mothers giving me

------
Animal crackers in my soup
Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop
Gosh oh gee but I have fun
Swallowing animals one by one

In every bowl of soup I see
Lions and Tigers watching me
I make 'em jump right through a hoop
Those animal crackers in my soup

When I get hold of the big bad wolf
I just push him under to drown
Then I bite him in a million bits
And I gobble him right down

When their inside me where its dark
I walk around like Noahs Arc
I stuff my tummy like a goop
With animal crackers in my soup

Animal crackers in my soup
Do funny things to me
They make me think my neighbourhood
Is a big menagerie

For instance there's our Janitor
His name is Mr Klein
And when he Hollers at us kids
He reminds me of a Lion


The Grocer is so big and fat
He has a big moustache
He looks just like a Walrus
Just before he takes a splash

Shirley Temple is evil!!! Evil, I say!

Ah yes. PETA.

The gist of the story is that PETA wants people to stop eating fish because it is inhumane. They're subversive I tell you... today fish, tomorrow goldfish crackers.

Somehow I thought this was going to be a thread about Ozzy...

Don't say that...next thing you know the ultra-liberals will ask for animal crackers to be banned because Ozzy ate them as a child.
