Top Ten Things You Hear While Working At The Delaware Foodbank
10) Is cranberry sauce a vegetable?
9) Where is Smitty? That bastard left already?
8) How much longer?
7) Once I get my picture with Markell I can leave right?
6) Spaghetti Oh’s do go with the meat. Honest.
5) I think I donated this can of yams.
4) Do you think a can of beans with a sell by date of July 1978 is okay?
3) I had no idea that there were so many different kinds of canned meat.
2) Where do these blue bins full of cans keep coming from?
1) When can we do this again?
11) What is potted meat?
12) Are yams a fruit or dessert?
13) Do people actually eat this stuff?
a sell by date of July 1978
I don’t know if that is serious, but I did come by a jar of pickles with a 1995 date on it.
I saw a box of gelatin dessert type mix that looked straight off of Let’s Make A Deal.
Rsmitty: Pickles? Are you allowed to say that? 🙂
I was surprised by the amount of soap, toothpaste and other non-food there was.
And dog food. People gave dog food. What’s up with that?
5 & 6
You can not by any paper products nor personal items w/EBT…..so I’m sure toothpaste and soap are frequent requests.
As to dog food….many are turning their pets into shelters cause they can’t afford to keep/feed them. Getting dog food from the food bank is a much better option than the shelter.
UI – YES. Potted Meat. WTF.
Also, I saw a packet of Lipton Spanish Rice that was packaging from when I was roughly 8 years old. I’m older than I look. That’s DISGUSTING.
