Funny supermarket photos (part 3)

If our incompetent Western governments continue the way they are going, doing all they can to disrupt the food supply chain, then in a few months' time we may well have food shortages, and our supermarkets may have empty shelves.

So, while we still can, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog pays another visit to the supermarket!

1) Back to school

Presumably, this first supermarket display must be aimed at schools based in London or Chicago?

"Back to school."

Bonus joke:

Ten cheesy chat up lines for Valentine's Day (part 2)

It's only a few days until Valentine's Day, so for the benefit of anyone looking for love, here's another batch of cheesy chat up lines.*

Cupid pays a visit to the Charles Fudgemuffin blog
with another collection of cheesy chat up lines.

* Or pick up lines, for the benefit of any American readers.

1) Computer programmer's chat up line...

"My name's Microsoft. Can I crash at your place tonight?



2) Optimist's chat up line...

"You remind me of my first wife."
"You were married?"
"No, I'm a bachelor."

Random food thoughts

This coming week features an important date, because February 9th is National Pizza Day! Unfortunately I couldn't think of ten pizza related thoughts, so instead I've had to expand the net a little further afield for this week's blog post, and feature random thoughts on a variety of foods...

Happy National Pizza Day!

1) Buy a man a pizza and you feed him for a day, but buy a man two pizzas, and you feed him for a day.



2) If human beings did not exist, ducks wouldn't know what bread tastes like.



3) KitKat wafer cream is made of ground up KitKat misshapes, so how did they make the first KitKat?

A 'fruit and veg' based higher or lower quiz

In one of my upcoming books which I'm currently writing, one of the characters likes to stay healthy by exercising regularly and growing his own food.*

* More things happen that just that, though. He doesn't spend the entire book just gardening and exercising, obviously. That would be a boring book! Don't worry, there are other more radical plot devepements as well, such as brain transplants and vengeful motivations.

Water melon.
The topic of the first question in this week's quiz.

I often like to use themes from my books as inspiration for blog posts, and this week is no different, as this week's blog post is a true or false quiz for anyone who similarly likes to grow their own fruit and veg.

1) Water content

As you'd expect, water melon contains a lot of water (the clue is in the name), and in fact is made up of 92% water! However, it's not the only fruit and veg which is high in water content. Iceberg lettuce is another food containing a high percentage of water.

But how much water exactly? Does iceberg lettuce contain a higher or lower water percentage than water melon?

Higher or lower?

Seems legit

From time to time on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog, I like to give random advice, and one such example of this was my blog post on how to spot fake goods in Thailand.

This week I give you another chance to put your knowledge of fake goods to the test, as I take a look at various items and examples which, despite claims of being legit, definitely seem a little bit dubious...

1) PlayStation 5

To start things off, here's a PS5 for sale which definitely looks genuine...

PS2 + PS3 = PS5

On a related note, I got home the other day to find my girlfriend had left a note on my PS5 saying, "This isn't working."

Imagine my relief when I turned it on and it was working just fine!

Photoshopped or real? (part 2)

It's been quite some time since I last featured a 'photoshopped or real' post on the Charles Fudgemuffin blog. That means it's time once again for readers to dust off their detective skills, take a look at the following photos and decide whether they're genuine original photos, or whether they've been embellished with a touch of photoshop skills.

1) Abraham Lincoln

First off, here's a rare selfie of Abraham Lincoln.

I know you're probably thinking, 'That's definitely photoshopped!'.

But here's the thing. It can't be, because photoshop hadn't even been invented back then!

Photoshopped or real?

Random multiple choice quiz

This week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features a random multiple choice quiz. However, whereas most multiple choice quizzes serve a serious purpose, such as a survey or a test, this multiple choice quiz consists purely of random silly questions which my easily amused brain found amusing!

Take a look at the following questions, and see how many you can guess correctly. Or maybe you're really clever and you don't need to guess!

1) Lobster woman

To start things off, here's a photo of a woman on a boat, but what is she doing?

Lobster woman.

A) Using her super powers to summon a lobster out of the sea into the boat.
B) Controlling a rather basic glove puppet to amuse a flying lobster.
C) Using sign language to inform the lobster of the latest football news.
D) Throwing a lobster back into the sea.
