300kg of Plutonium

While not very humorous, some of the most useful permanent items on our shared shopping list include “That spice that ran out” and “That thing I was looking for the other day”. They’ve saved the day a few times over ten or so years.

[–] ivanafterall 22 points 4 days ago

This is so stupid and completely genius at the same time. It would absolutely work for me.

50 melons for grade school math problem

Actually I think I'm gonna start with:

"(10x-0.5)/2 snickers bars, where x is how much of my snickers you ate, you asshole."

[–] spittingimage 4 points 3 days ago

I charge a husband tax too. 10% of her snacks are mine.

"1 hug" is a regular addition to my fiancé's list when she asks me if there's anything I need. It's a great addition because then I get my hug!

1 left sock

And much further down the list

1 right sock

[–] Shapillon 10 points 3 days ago

That's a delicious idea.

One might even say its sockulent

[–] hakunawazo 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

fertilizer
gas
nails
cable
egg timer
pressure cooker
sunglasses
wig

And your partner will be soon on a list too.

[–] bi_tux 3 points 2 days ago

very important: you need POTASSIUM fertilizer

I honestly pop in ‘yo butt’ into our shared shopping list and it usually gets an eye roll.

Deez nuts

Edit: Which I recently found is a real brand of nuts. Dee's Nutz, I believe. So be careful or you may just end up with some unexpected, delicious peanuts to snack on.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

My partner does this already. The number of times I've found "tush squish" is... I've lost track.

I got him back by adding chicken hats to his online cart.

Male: condoms, canteloupe, watermelon, Vaseline Female:condoms, squash, cucumber, carrots,

[–] [email protected] 24 points 4 days ago

As an aside, do not use Vaseline with condoms. In addition to it not being body safe for internal use, some condoms are still latex and vaseline will dissolve them. Most condoms these days are nitrile, but again see above re: internal insertion safety.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I feel like this only works if those are the only items on the list. If you also have apples, berries, potatoes, onions, shampoo and toothpaste, it's just a normal shopping list.

Please explain how you think that's humorous

[–] steeznson 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

seems like it would be hard to track down to me but idk

[–] Dasus 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm in the Nordics, and every supermarket I can think of would have it, but even if it is rare somewhere, how would that make it humorous?

[–] steeznson 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In scotland I would have no fuckin idea where to get it lol

[–] Dasus 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pretty much most supermarkets would do, I should think. Aldi has kefir.

I'm thinking you've not seen any because you've not looked, not because it's not there.

[–] steeznson 2 points 1 day ago

This sounds extremely plausible. I am culinarily challenged.

Everyone! Please keep commenting! I'm getting some great ideas here!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Pet supplies for animals you don't have. Things that don't exist but sound like things you might find at a grocery store, like pot slippers from the kitchen utensils, vegan mangos, aged vermhölsterdoif cheese, or barkley salt. Rare spices the stores your partner shops at do not sell. I get a kick out of being macabre so long pork, stray child. Ingredients your partner hates. Confusing typos.

[–] Dasus 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Vanilla flavoured bananas.

Peppered mandarins.

Pickled macaroni.

[–] thermal_shock 2 points 2 days ago

you're giving them ideas! it's going to fruity pebbles Mac and cheese

[–] thermal_shock 1 points 2 days ago
