    You guys still have Crunchy Fuckers up there? They stopped selling them here years ago.

    Are they both in the same grocery store?

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    The old man is buying the Crunchy Fuckers cereal. Notice the divider on the belt.

    Gabe's selection includes Merch(?) cereal, Fruit, Shit, and Poop.

    I believe that would be "Fruit Oh's" and "Poop Toots".

    (Though "Fruit" and "Fruit Oh's" also look like they could be two different cereals.)

    I read that as 'Poop Kooks', but those could be Ts I guess.

    Are Tycho's hands purple in panel 3, or is he clutching a produce bag? The most logical thing to me was that he wears latex gloves in public (I liked that answer, anyway) but he doesn't have them in panel one.

    I didn't add an extra body to my legal existence to not take advantage of the three dimensional benefits.

    But yeah it's totally a thing. My wife and I don't quite split up but when there's a list I'll usually go get the next few things and bring them back to the cart. She'll pick out veggies while I grab some bread and cheese.

    Most stores I go to are crowded enough and the carts unwieldy enough that it's well worth it being able to send a Runabout (or, puddle jumper?) to dart in and out of aisles from which you just need one thing. On the rare occasion I have to go to a Walmart or similar place, I could definitely see the benefit of splitting into a Groceries party and a Housewares party to make the experience as quick as possible.

    My wife and I used to split up whenever we shopped for groceries, but we stopped after the TPK.

    Also, dang. I haven't posted here for 10 years.

    Another married person here confirming that it's absolutely normal to split the party for efficiency when shopping and to call/text inside the store to coordinate

    The fruit cereal appears to have variant collectible boxes. Those monsters! ;)

    I do it because my wife goes down every aisle and looks at every little damn thing whether we need it or not, so to calm the boiling rage I feel when forced to shop with her I go ahead and get the stuff we actually came to the store to buy.

    This is what I used to do. Now I'm designated toddler herder, which just replaces it with a different rage.

    Just today: Wife goes down cereal aisle, kid makes a run for the cookies.
    "No. No, we have cookies at home. Put them back. Come back here! Don't run out in the - Goddamnit slow down (Sorry sir) Get out of that shelf. Don't do it, I see what you're thinking, put it back (Sorry ma'am) Seriously you are going to bed. No, I'm not getting you that, you're being bad, now come here and I'll let you have a piggy back ride."

    We are now in the toy department and I walk back to the other damn side of the store. Wife is coming out of the cereal aisle. "You're just standing here? I could have used your help. God why are you breathing so hard, you should tell the doctor about that shortness of breath you get carrying him."

    I have seen a man and wife couple with two teenagers operate more efficiently than a pit crew at Daytona.

    Momma was in charge, because if Momma aint' happy, ain't nobody happy.

    I'm very glad I initially misread this sentence.
