Never heard of ‘Focus Groups’ If you get paid what does it matter what you answer ;O) I think they should also give you free samples of the goods – especially the cheese!

Jeff: Ah . . . the mystical and intangible “O-ness.” So elusive but so integral to the Toasted O’s experience. I don’t envy you this task.

Now that you mention it, yes... we did have to eat saltines and drink water between samples. Toasted O's weren't the only thing we rated that day but I thought they were the most bizarre. Some examples: On a scale of 1 - 10: 1. Please rate your satisfaction of the crunchiness of the O. 2. Please rate the uniformity of the color of the O. 3. Please rate the overall O-ness of the O.

Grog: Oh, my dear Grog. How you do go on. Please don't stop. Stephanie: I knew you'd come up with something. A truly resourceful blogger/writer ALWAYS comes up with something! shakespeare: As I said, I was bitterly disappointed that we didn't get to sample any of the cheese. Also, even tho I never use my cell phone and hate talking on the phone, I still want an iPhone. MamaNeedsACosmo: I'm not gonna be happy until ONE of you YouTubes this cheese/shoe commercial for me. Tippy: Huh. That hardly sounds fair. Why do they only care about male beer drinkers? I would think a single female who drinks beer only on St. Patrick's Day is a bigger demographic than "they" realize.

The one time I was feeling magnanimous and decided that I would take part in a telephone survey (unpaid I might add) just to help out the poor sap on the other end of the phone, I was disqualified on the first question…

Phone Person: “Is there a male in the house between the ages of 20-40?”

Me: “Nope”

Phone Person: “Okay, thanks for your time!”

Me: “Thanks for rubbing it in that I’m still single and living alone…wait, Mum, is this you??”

It was a survey about beer…I drink beer…granted it’s only on St. Patrick’s Day, but I drink a lot on that day which makes up for my lack of beerness from the rest of the year.

Whenever I see the word ‘cheese’, I think ‘government.’ Taking Fla. Girls comment a little further, I’d be happy to fling some cheese at Bush. Some old, moldy, I-bought-that-for-Thanksgiving-and-now-it’s-Independence-Day cheese.

I’m with Steve, even though I don’t even have an iphone. I just love Mac anything lately.

I can’t say I would consider being in a focus group. I won’t even watch a 60-minute spiel on time-shares for a free trip somewhere. Now, if they let me sit around and EAT cheese… not the Velveeta kind, that is… I might consider it.

As bad as my comments were on your blogs this past week, I stole one for Thursday. Here's hoping my brain returns from its hiatus. Stephanie’s last blog post..Thieving Thursday: I Have Brain Aberrations So You Don’t Have To

Florida Girl In Sydney: Damn. If only I'd thought of "ass" to write down for Sprint. Yes, you sound a little cranky, but all are welcome here, especially the cranky ones. Regan: Ah HA! So that's how that picture of me wearing a Ziploc bag on my head got online! Marie: Oh, my dear! I hope you're feeling OK today---both mentally and stomachically. Sounds like you know how to self-medicate pretty well. Dumbasses unite! Eric "Speedcat Hollydale": Yeah! I'll have to remember that one if I ever get another cheese focus group. Juliet: And the whole Flushables thing made me wonder why it was being made such an issue of. Did they have a big Flushables problem in that building? Prefers Her Fantasy Life: The poor question-asker could not wrap her brain around the way I was telling her to spell it. "TWO a's???" cardiogirl: Ooh, I wonder if they pay in Vicodin? Or donuts? Just look up "focus groups" online and see if there are any in your area. My mom did one recently where they gave them a whole MEAL! flit: We didn't even have (get?) to eat it---we were asked only about the packaging. As I said earlier, I would think kids' and teens' opinions would be way more valuable than mine. Lola: I'd watch movie trailers for $10, no problem! And I'd offer my loud, unsolicited opinion as well. I'd do those $20 surveys, too. That adds up! absepa: Fake kids. Yes, that's the answer.
