Don't send your man to the grocery store for jello
Funny story - I just sent my DH to the grocery store to get a few things so I can make some homemade chicken noodle soup. I also had on the list to buy 4-5 boxes of sugar free jello. The phone rings.
It's him. " Do you want some of this chocolate jello?"
ME: "No, jello doesn't come in chocolate.".
HIM: 'Yes it does, it says Jello right on the box".
ME: "That's pudding."
HIM: "Well it says jello"
ME: " I know. That's the brand name. Just look for lemon, lime, strawberry."
HIM: "Ok - oh here's one - cheesecake jello - do you want some of those?"
ME : "No, that's pudding too."
HIM: "It doesn't say pudding on the box."
ME: " I'm sure it says pudding somewhere. Just look at the picture. Does it look like pudding or jello?"
HIM: "It looks like pudding, but the box says jello."
By this time I'm chuckling to myself and he's getting more confused. Guess he's never bought jello before. He just walked in the door. I better go check to see what he came home with.

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

I'm still chuckling about it. I told him over and over to make sure it said sugar free. He did ok. He also tried to talk me into raspberry. I told him twice that I don't like raspberry. He told me that it's good. HELLO>>>>>> I DON'T AGREE! LOL

ha ha ha gotta luv the guy for trying...
When my ex retired from the military I was working so he started grocery shopping... he who hated commissaries ... he never shopped for the budgeted food... anyway, he would come home with some really strange items. He would lament that a brand was not on the list. Many items were not on the list... I just knew to buy them. He needed the list complete with item/brand and whatever else would help identify the item.
He would get so frustrated with my incomplete lists ..... and our discussions of what to buy or not to buy ended in arguments .... Finally, I told him to just buy the food... whatever he brought home I could cook.
Well, then it became a joke and he would find unusual items for me to cook. Got pretty interesting. Ha ha

I've had to show him the box, can or whatever and he'll take it with him. One time I sent a list and wanted a pound of "hamb". He brought home ham. He said he wondered why I had a B on the end and thought I didn't know how to spell it. I learned then to never abbreviate when giving him a list.
