True story. The store where I saw this also has “Meal Solutions” over the entrance in old-timey wooden letters, and the supermarket’s web address in old-timey wooden letters over the exit. There’s something somehow very strange about seeing a URL carved out of tree parts.
Incidentally, the “Mmm…Solutions” line in this strip was contributed by Rob Balder in an IM chat, making that speech bubble his first real contribution to a PartiallyClips comic since he handed me the reins at the beginning of the year. I’ll be selling autographed prints of said speech bubble in the near future.

The real question is do these meal solutions proactively manage your digestional synergy?
I would think that a “meal solution” would be an undifferentiated liquid (or solid mass) rather than a pita topped with penny candy.
It reminds me of all those commercials that say some meals “fit into the american nutritional institute’s rules for eating” after which I can’t help but mentally add “to become federal law in 2011″ @_@
now the food gestapo’s gonna be after me.. I think they know I’m hiding transfats in my attic..
Um, I think you meant ‘reins.’
Nah, I think “reigns” was a Freudian slip.
Nope, no Freudian slip, just my stupid brain trying to throw together a pile of words late at night while I’m fighting off a cold. I do not myself webcomic royalty of any sort at this juncture. Thanks for pointing out the dumb – I have de-dumbed it.
Grep – “Pita topped with penny candy” killed me, thanks. And you appear to be named after a UNIX command to search text strings for a Hindu diety.

A $6 lunch? That’s like £3, right? Daylight robbery. My lunches usually cost about 10p.
He should have just swiped a plastic service installment from the cart near the order line. It’s not like they cost anything from the end-user aside from effort.
