My husband’s an egghead.

Mmm… Eggs.

How-to-fry-an-egg

Yep… His head is quite appetizing… I always want to eat it?

Mr Mrs Ashworth Licking

No. Well, yes, but that’s NOT what I mean right now.

My “egghead” reference in this instance ACTUALLY means… He’s one smart-ass dude.

And a smart ass too. Te he. 

Inquisitive Minds

Don’t dare to ever challenge him to a game of trivial pursuits, Jeopardy… Or even quiz him on, oh ANYTHING… Cause he’ll pull a Stone Cold Steve Austin… I.E. Open a can of whoop ass on you! I mean, his brain is a mystical unicorn that just retains so much information.

But there was this one time… Early on in our relationship… He asked me if chicken had fiber in it.

I scrambled not to laugh… But he knew… Just knew… I was about to crack.

But before I could… He got soft boiled and said… “Don’t assume everyone has their masters degree in nutrition and knows how to read nutrition labels. They don’t.”

Hot damn… My egg pun game is EGGSTRODINARY right now.

And… That is when the idea of our most recent video together… Was conceived (or scrambled up if I want to continue with the puns?).

He wishes a son was conceived. But for now… This YouTube video.

In this vidMy husband presents four different packaged foods (that he secretly bought at the store) and asks me ALL THE QUESTIONS about their food labels… Including: what’s important to look at, ingredients that piss me off, why grains are assholes, Jeff Goldblum, and what countries “cultured sugar” has traveled to… Among many other topics!

SO TELL ME…

  • What do you find most confusing about food labels and why?
  • Is there a food you would hide under your bed when you were younger… Much like my husband and I did?
  • Oreos… Yay or Nay?
  • Who else remember’s that scene from Jurassic Park?
  • How do you feel about sucralose?
