Elixa Probiotic is a British biotech manufacturer in Oxford, UK. U.S. Demand is now so high they've established distribution centers in Illinois, Nevada, and New Jersey.
Still, sell-outs happen regularly, so order nowto avoid a waiting list.
Not really a fail. The “EA” bit is to denote that they are sold individually, as opposed to, say, 2-packs or boxes. All the signs have something there.
And here I was thinking that you were pointing out the remedial 2/3.00 followed by the 1.50 ea. Like the math is to taxing for the consumer to figure out.
I’ve been buying Large Hass Avocados for years and always thought “Hass” rhymed with “boss”. Oh well, I’m sure I’ve made up for with plenty of other puerile puns and double entendres. I’ll admit it, I’m childish enough to enjoy South Park, Family Guy, and Tosh.0. My wife mostly rolls her eyes at these shows, but I have been able to get her laughing hysterically now and again.
That said, the inexplicable loss of the suffix “-ure” of late is a petpeeve of mine.
lol – think Large Haas is funny? here’s the punchline – what avocados are actually named after! Avocados got their name from the Spanish explorers. They couldn’t pronounce the Aztec word for the fruit, know as ahuacatl, “testicle,” because of its shape. The Spanish called the aguacate, leading to the guacamole we know today.
I don’t get it. What’s wrong?
“2 for $3.00 each”

Say the headline description out loud, all three words.
Aaaah… I see.
Yeah, I got that right away.
Personally, I thought it was a winning sign!
I’ll take some large ass avocados please, with a side serving of large ass!
I’ve never pronounced Hass that way…(always say Haas…Hawss)
Me too, which is why I also didn’t get it.
But it wasn’t haas, it was hass.
I see it now. hahaha
I pronounce it as harse which is still funny
Haas avocados in general I should add! They’ve always been harse avocados to me!
I must have a puerile sense of humour I giggled like Homer Simpson as soon as I saw the photo
Relief! At least I wasn’t the only one.

LOL
That’s the way the francophones around here would say it. They put an “h” in front of any word starting with a vowel. :)
Thats just good old fashioned Beavis and Butthead humor.
I really like large hASS avocados.
Hehehe hehe hehehe. You said “hASS.”
Dang, this is an arse-ome blog!
Excuse me, are you out of the large hASSES that are on sale?
Ummmm …. oh, yes, we are.
I’d like a raincheck for 4 large hASSES please.
You say Haas, and I say Hass:

Haas, hass, hass, haas, let’s call the whole thing off.
On an aside, I really like the fact that an “Avocado Central” exists.

OK, who wants some home-made guacamole?
Hey Richard, there’s an article in Washington Post about the new Atkins book (with the usual moronic commenters too…). http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/03/02/AR2010030202091.html?hpid=sec-health
Another opportunity to educate?
That is sofa king funny!
