Items you find hard to buy

    So I was thinking today what to get for lunch, and the grand idea of hot dogs popped into my head. It wasnt the first time, and it certainly wont be the last. I head to aldi to get the main ingredients, but on the way up I remember they rarely have hot dog buns. So I decide to head to tesco instead. Nope, no buns (not the first time either). Dunnes and petrol stations are all out too!

    I always have this difficulty buying hot dog buns and wondered are there other items out there that are hard to buy?
    Oh and before you say it, if its drugs/sex/my ma, then you are looking in the wrong places!

    OP, could you not just buy a baguette and heat it so it's soft? :confused:
    30 seconds in the microwave, that's all

    If i'm eating those frankfurtereree sausages then soft buns and mustard all the way.

    If i'm eating proper meaty sausages then a crunchy baguette, onions and ketchup is the only way to go.

    Special people need routine and safe jokes in their lives to keep them stable. Give them a break.

    I've heard that one before!

    the name, the fact that you talked about my previous posts,

    but most of all, the fact that the whole "YORE MA" thing seems to really annoy you.


    btw, the OP fully deserved it, purely because he referenced the whole "yore ma" thing in his original post.

    I find Canneloni tubes hard to buy. I hate having to use lasagne sheets instead. It burns my fingers wrapping them while they are warm.

    anyone whos irish knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. This streaky-bacon bull**** just doesnt do it for me anymore. I need the sweet sweet love of a thick slice of back rasher.

    American Bacon: NASTY; CRUNCHY; GREASY

    bacon.jpg

    Irish Rasher: HOLY; CHEWY; SOFT; COMFORTING; TASTY

    back_bacon_eggs1.jpg

    When you wiki Rashers it redirects you to bacon: INSULT

    Theres a website in North Carolina that specialises in british meat products bu you have to buy over $100 of merch before you can checkout.

    Anyone know how I might accquire such an item reasonably? It would be great to just go to my local grocer's butcher (publix, piggly wiggly) and say GIMME RASHERS and theyd be like BAM THERE YOU GO and I'd be all NYOM NYOM NYOM...

    I need Rasher :(

    Condoms. My penis is massive, I can fit like 10 girls on it at the one time (seriously you should see it, it's like a human shish kabob) and it's impossible to get condoms that big.

    Does it annoy anyone that they sell hotdogs in packs of ten, and buns in packs of 12?!

    Very good point. The other two generally just get butter or are left unused.

    Why do people always say that unfunny line?



    Aldi sell microwaveable hot dogs that come with red sauce, mustard and buns (and the hot dog aswell, obviously). They're something like.. €1.25 for two?

    Nice, too. :)






    An item i've been finding hard to buy is an exact replicated copy of WWE wrestler Kane's mask that he wore from 2002 to 2003. No one will make it because its a trademarked deign. It really annoys me.

    For future reference, your penis is the wee lad at the top of your balls. I think you are mixing it up with your dildo.

    I find it impossible to find Robinsons Orange/Kia Ora/similar here in the south of Spain.

    Seems the Spanish aren't into it.....which is a big shame, have to get bottles of it sent from home or Gibraltar!
