south of vicksburg 10 miles… we have 3 freezers that need to be fed to the hogs.. they are full and some food may be ok but we want to clean them completely out ..

there is a lot of bread and buns..some Vegitables from garden and some fish from river and some misc…

would suggest you feed it to dogs, hogs or whatever you want…I am giving it as trash…..but I ate fish from it last week seemed a little old …

must take everything in all 3 freezers..

The old “come clean up some garbage I have lying around” ploy. Directed to a very small group of potential customers – feed-scrounging hog farmers.

I enjoy the added disgusting element of “how do I know the fish went bad? I ate some.”

Right now, I’m just praying that little Timmy in the picture there isn’t entombed in of one of the refrigerators. With the fish he’s holding.

Here’s another trash pick-up request:

pretty much just junk that needs to be hauled , thought Id outa try craigslist first.
If interested plz call or email wood all kinds of sizes, left over fencing, dryer that gave out last year and old couch .
other little things as well.

The “suckers!” right after the first sentence is silent.

The obvious first thought here is intentional joke. What, with the ridiculous premise, and the “wriggly” instead of Wrigley. But something about the post rings a little true, and a lot of crazy. There’s an earnestness to the detail that makes it believable. I can imagine, in a post-“Antiques Roadshow” world, that there is a species of mental illness that believes anything slightly old – even 1990’s chewing gum – has some intrinsic value.

I do have the sell by date on it (1996)

Those Roadshow appraisers do seem to care about specific manufacturing dates, so this may add value.

May not be good for eating or chewing! It is still soft. For collecting.

Well, of course! Just like that tin L’il Abner wind-up toy you’re not supposed to play with, lest you damage it, you don’t chew your antique gum. You display it in your gum case, to jealous friends.

Of course, condition is king when it comes to vintage items, so even though you won’t chew it, you should be able to, so it’s good to describe its softness. That ups the price.

Please send me an email as to “your estimate” of it’s market value.

Wait, I know how this goes – auction value? At retail? Or for insurance purposes? I’m supposed to highball the insurance estimate, right? Screw those insurance companies.

Please ask me any questions you have, and “I will do my best”.

Do you have a list of comparables I can use to determine value? You know what I mean – what have other 1996 Wrigley gum packages gone for on the open market? Is there a glut? Or is this a hard to find model? Custom label? Autographed by some Wrigley family member?

Oh, and on a scale of 1-10, how crazy are you? I say 7 or 8, but the girl in the cubicle next to me is shouting “nine!”

Thank you very much. Can ship to a US address via USPS for a small shipping “cost”.

The quotation marks are beginning to puzzle me.

Not responsible for its food value or purity!

Who cares?! This isn’t for chewing or eating. It’s for collecting. Leigh Keno doesn’t worry about the fat calories in a Windsor chair.

Please make me an offer.

I will walk you to the clinic.

Thank you.

No problem.

1 brand new/sealed bottle of Emerald Greens with exp date of 2002, plus other partially used – free to pick up at my home.

Expiration date 2002? That’s awhile ago, right? Seven years? Have they done studies to find out the effect of expiration on these things? If I take these pills that expired seven years ago, might I break out in a rash? Might my colon expand to fill my entire body? Could I become something like a werewolf? Might I develop peculiar new behaviors akin to Tourette’s Syndrome, but even more drastic? You don’t know? Because no one in history has ever ingested a seven-year-expired colon cleanse pill? So I’d be the first person ever to do so? I’d be . . . experimenting? With my colon? The only colon I have? Connected to the only stomach, lungs, heart, brain, etc., that I have? Supporting the only life I have? But it’s free? Well, OK, why not, my colon likes surprises.

One expired on Sept 08 the other Nov 08. But they still have the cellophane on them.

Sweet, they still have the cellophane on them. Something for the baby to play with after we’ve fed him long-expired food.
