sunflower oil? · PACKERSHOME

Back before I started using olive oil, before I had even heard of canola oil, I always used to buy sunflower oil for cooking. For several years now, it hasn't been on the grocery shelves where I've lived.

Anyone know why it isn't there anymore?

I seem to remember it being marketed as a healthy alternative to other oils. Was that just marketing fluff? Or is it just being used for other things that are more profitable?

Wade.....Wade...

Been shopping after dark again, huh?

It is a well known fact that since sunflower oil retains characteristics of the parent plant, that being heliotropic , the oil is only on the shelf during daylight hours. ::wink:

The same reason we eat cows instead of puppies. Sunflowers are too cute to kill them for their oil.

Haven't you ever heard; "Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?"

Well, actually they meant to say sunflowers, but it didn't fit into the flow of the verse, so they shortened it to just flowers. And now you know the rest of the story.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

Mucky Tundra (40m) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (6h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (6h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (6h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (6h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (6h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (16h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (16h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (16h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (17h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (17h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (18h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (18h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (18h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (18h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (18h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (18h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (18h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (18h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (18h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (18h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (18h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (18h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (18h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (19h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (19h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (19h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (19h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (19h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (19h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (19h) : ok scratch that
