POP!/ Ruby Tuesday


Thanks, I think I will have some!

Our local hardware store offers small bags of help-yourself popcorn on Saturdays and Sundays. Hmmm. I wonder what I'll desperately need from the hardware store this weekend.

Seeing red? Why not join in the Ruby Tuesday fun, by visiting MaryT at http://workofthepoet.blogspot.com/

    My husband is always coming in and telling me he's going to run down to the hardware store - maybe I need to check ours out. :)

    One should never shop at a hardware store when hungry (or is that saying for grocery shopping)? I'd like to purchase some #10 wood screws with a Phillips head, while munching...Nice retailer!

    In Australia the hardware stores sell BBQ sausages with onions and sauce in bread rolls. I have to avoid hardware stores on the weekend, the aroma of those sausages is way to inviting. Perfect red popcorn machine for Ruby Tuesday! :)

    But, but the popcorn box is already empty.
    I'll buy a nail pistol elsewhere.

    Great choice EG. What a nice gesture for the folks at the hardware. I'm betting they will see lots of customers.
    Hope you enjoyed your trip to Rochester. It's about 5 hours from us.

    We have one of these in Sam's Department Store on Main Street. It feeds hungry Vermonters and visitors 7 days a week and is a great draw, especially for people with cranky children.

    Now that's a hardware store anyone would want to find reasons to visit. And it's free. Amazing!

  33. HeidiNovember 10, 2009 at 11:28 AM

    Very fun find this week! I can't believe they just give the popcorn away for free. Where I live they charge you 25 cents for every bag. I'm jelous!

    Hey Ms. E.G. Guide, this is a very pretty red popcorn machine. Our hardware stores don't have those, one has a deli.
    Happy RT! Don't eat too much popcorn! :-)

    Hmmm, free popcorn in a hardware store? Never heard of that before but I like the idea.
