First time poster, long time reader.
Felt compelled to ask: do people really sell mayonnaise in glasses?
Yuck!
(I'm from a backwards European country, so don't wonder.;))
"That's just silly. It's a perfume jar. Now."
That one made me lolz.

I have made this argument to the many guys that I know most of my life. They don't seem to believe me until their girlfriend or respective spouse gets upset at them. That last panel is the center of a happy relationship.

Why do 'factory refurbished chocolates' make me think of recycled toilet paper?
If you mean a glass jar, then yes. What else would you sell mayonnaise in?
EVERY panel a complete joke in it's own right! Brilliant!
lol, love it!
"do people really sell mayonnaise in glasses?" - Going towards plastic now. You know, that environmental friendly stuff made from oil.
Wow, four laugh-out-loud panels in a row! This is a great day.
I love that you recognize what a gift is. I also love how much you made me laugh today. For some reason, I especially like, "No, but I wrote it in the card."
Dorian -- yes, it typically comes in either a glass or a plastic jar with a screw-on lid. Plastic is much more common these days but some brands do come in a glass jar. How do you get mayo in Europe?

Great strip, as always. Just a higher practical value than usual.
lmao - "Factory Refurbished Chocolates" - I think that'll be my next Secret Santa gift!
LOVE the double negative in panel one! Hilarious! as someone who received a $4.00 waffle iron from my now "ex" husband I truly appreciate this comic!
@Dorian... Yes mayonnaise is sold in glass jars. And sometimes plastic squeeze bottles, which I personally find far more revolting.
The last panel made me yell (quietly, to myself) "YES! He gets it!"
I have subsequently shared it with all my guy friends in the hopes that they will get it, too.
They sell mayonnaise in glass jars in the UK.
Dorian, what else would you put mayonnaise in, but a jar? It doesn't seem like a good thing to put in a carton. Now I'm curious!
Dorian,
Yes, in America and the Uk, where I live, mayonnaise is kept in glass jars and squeezable plastic bottles, which you are probably talking (writing?) about.
@Dorian Mayonnaise comes in glass or plastic jars, or squeeze bottles. Never a glass as in a drinking glass.
@Dorian: At least around here they are. Why, how is mayonnaise packed in Europe?
Yes, yes we do sell mayonnaise in glasses, not that it is much odder than any other container. Hell, we sell fake mayo too. Now which is more disgusting? Oh! I know! People put it in their mouth. Ew.
my grandparents live near the russell stover factory in kansas. im always ready to go there for factory seconds! they are just funny shapes and odd wrapping; taste is the same
best factory second ive had is ben and jerry's ice cream. the label said peanut butter cup, but it was actually vanilla ice cream with a glob of peanut butter cups at the bottom. very tasty, if irregular

Lisa: I think she likes my present better.
Bart: Does not!
Lisa: Does too!
Bart: Does not!
Lisa: Then how come she's not putting on any of your perfume?
Bart: [worried] Yeah... Hey Mom, how come you're not putting on any of my perfume?
Marge: [diplomatically] Well I'm saving it... for a special occasion.
Bart: What the hell are you talking about? There's gallons of it!
