Absolutely. I was grocery shopping with my wife and running my mouth about alien-human hybrids, of course she thought I was totally off my rocker (it’s amazing that woman is still married to me). And I was like “yeah, haven’t you ever seen someone that was just fucking weird? Like not completely human?” Not a minute goes by and I see the strangest looking dude and his female companion with a shopping cart full of saltines and ketchup. Definitely something off with this couple. Of course I ran over to my wife and said “I found one!” After yelling at me for a few seconds about being an asshole, she finally walked around the corner and all I heard out of her mouth was “oh…”
I peeked around the corner and the couple had that look on their faces like their cover was blown. They scurried out of there like roaches when the light turns on. Strangest encounter ever.
Damn. Saltines and Ketchup?
Supposing they weren't human, what does that mean?
Do they just need sugar, starch and lycopene to live?
Were they just broke ETs trying to live on the cheap?
Or were they just trying to imitate a modern American diet very poorly?
It was a Winco grocery store, which is the cheapest place in town and usually makes for good people watching. As far as the saltines and ketchup, I have no idea. I was under impression that this was their preferred food/diet, instead of, say, buying the stuff for a restaurant or fundraiser. They reminded me of the movie Men in Black with all of the aliens in human suits. Even my wife had to grudgingly admit that there was something very strange about them. And the look on their faces when they saw us…it’s hard to describe, like they knew the jig was up.
That was years ago, haven’t seen anything like it since
meth heads wander into grocery stores and buy the weirdest shit to eat at the lowest cost. the food normally ends up being tomato based for nutrients.
I've heard a number of arguments, the guys will typically argue for ramen as it has the most food for the money while the girls will argue for nutrients like a totinos pizza because it has tomato, cheese and other items, as they get deeper into meth they'll get stuff like ketchup which they will add water to make a soup.
the fact they had saltines leads me to think they were planning on making soup.
I could be one of those sightings for someone else.
One time, after the gym, I wanted to grab a drink and get some protein in me. Walking home, I passed by a bar, happened to be a gay bar. It was mid-afternoon, so pretty empty, and I was mostly looking to eat and drink and read, so nobody was really gonna bother me.
They had deviled eggs on the menu.
I got a citywide and ordered some eggs.
They were really good deviled eggs. Each order came with three full eggs l, split in half, so six halves of eggs per order.
I just sat there, and those eggs were sooo fucking good. Every time I ordered another drink, I'd order another round of eggs. Probably got four or five rounds of citywide and eggs.
Fucking good eggs.
But the bartender definitely thought I was weird, like I was some sort of alien or a gay dude with a really stinky scat fetish.
