it kinda is though, it's about grandparents having a vast abundance of love and completely going overboard to show their love over the smallest things
my grandma definitely did the kinda stuff like in the OP
wait, it isn't??
You will become vitamin C.
I did not have grandparents like this at all; my paternal grandparents were overwhelmed simply by interacting with us at all, and maternal grandparents were only concerned with themselves, and while they didn't actively dislike us per se, it was like they were all very elderly from my birth onwards. Just sort of an afterthought. It's not like grandparents today who seem very involved in the lives of their grandkids. I didn't dislike them save for my maternal grandmother who pitted her children against one another and liked triangulating people, and when she died left her two older daughters 25K each and left all of the rest to the youngest, which was heaps more, but none of them were particularly involved. They never would have gotten me orange juice or paid any attention to something I mentioned. So if you have these grandparents, you're lucky!
I have a family member whose fridge looks like this.
Because he is an unrepentant alcoholic who sucks down vodka like a fish does water, and thinks hes being clever by hiding it in orange juice.
And hes so "clever" that he doesnt hide the recycle bin, which is always overflowing with empty vodka bottles.
Pretty sure he just prefers the taste with orange juice as opposed to drinking it straight

I told my grandma I was growing a third leg, and she knit me three socks
Is this an euphimism for "my grandma made a sheath for my dick"?
A cock sock.
A linen condom
My grandmother stocked raisins in a jar in her kitchen for 30 years because I once said I liked raisins.
It was cool to know there was a jar of raisins there basically just for me to have raisins. But I eventually didn't like raisins all that much anymore. But of course I'd have to have some raisins because she was keeping them there for me.
My folks do this. If I say I like something, I’m getting that for Christmas for the next decade
I asked for a Butterfinger once as a kid and for the next 30 something years, my parents treated it like it was my favorite candy of all time (hint: it's not).
my mother is somehow the opposite, if i say i don't want something she'll always and without fail ask me "since when do you hate [thing]"
Not arguing you're wrong, but I've been witness to the other side of that sort of conversation.
The item was ketchup. Always needed to have ketchup. Then:
Child: "I hate ketchup!"
Mom: "What do you mean? You put ketchup on everything.'
Child: "I've never used ketchup. I've always hated it."
[Jump forward a few years]
Child: "Where's my ketchup?"
Mom: "I thought you hated ketchup?"
Child: "Since when? I use ketchup all the time."
As the dad, I'm tempted to point out that mom doesn't need help losing her mind, but as the dad, I also know better than to be involved.
Kids can be maddening. Mine has reflexively started saying the opposite of what they mean when asked a yes or no question.
I've heard that orange juice goes for like $11 a gallon in some places lately, so gramps must be ballin rich!
grampa: fuck gold or crypto, i am going OJ
edit: btw, gambling in OJ futures is quite a thing, i think there is even a movie about it
Trading Places, is the movie. 80’s movie
Looking good Billy Ray!
This made me curious so I checked. A Gallon on OJ cost $10 at my local chain store. It's the only grocery store for a while so they get away with a lot. What does it normally cost? I'm not a fan and don't think I've ever bought orange juice
I love my mother-in-law. I mentioned one time sixteen years ago that I enjoy red velvet cake, and for the following decade every time she got donuts there was at least one red velvet donut in there.
Now, while red velvet is delicious, it's basically just chocolate. The real joy of red velvet cake is the cream cheese icing, which was never included on the donut. And even with the icing, it's like my #3 or #4 favorite cake, and she never brought me a german chocolate cake donut.
She has learned that I prefer the peanut butter cream-filled, though. Now that's the one that's always included. Which is part of why I always tell people I lucked out marrying into a super great family.
butter cream-filled cake or donut?
What else is on your top cake rank?
I usually just eat plain cake, guess I ought try some fancy stuff more often
Peanut-butter-cream-filled donut. A long john-shaped donut with peanut butter cream inside and chocolate icing on the top and a light dusting of chopped peanuts on top is usually what she grabs. Good stuff.
My favorite cake fluctuates often, but I usually prefer cake with something special going on. German Chocolate, Carrot, Spice, Lava, that sort of thing. Yellow and White and Chocolate (and even Confetti) are all fine, but they're not amazing.
Though I fully admit, I'm more of a pie person.
I miss my grandad. He would do stuff like this.
America is a country ofmagical thinking, toxic relationships, broken families, imperialism, genocide and concentrated sugar drink.
And you deduce that from a single photo of orange juice in a fridge?
Grandpa showing love in his own way.
This is me but with my wife. Mention you like something? I will continually surprise you with it until you get sick of it and cry uncle.
what if you mention you like your coworker's ass?
Lol accurate. For me it was my grandma and corned beef hash. I said I liked it with eggs. Next time she stopped by, she brought a dozen cans of it. Can't eat that stuff anymore, only homemade from now on because canned corned beef hash smells like dog food.
Having young nieces and nephews, be very clear and leave obvious hints of what you'd like as gifts. I know that look of disappointment.
A good way to leave an obvious hint is to put it in "Saved For Later" of wherever the old grownups shop.
And be specific, or we'll get it wrong! My husband terrorized our wee little girl by getting a Sonic Screwdriver for her stocking. But not the Doctor's SS, the Master's! She's an adult now and that thing is still stuffed in the back of the closet from when she ran away from it.
I haven't bought orange juice in over a year because the price almost tripled. I look at it longingly in the store sometimes though.
It is way too expensive. It seems like the lowest common denominator perfect grocery item to price gouge. Like anybody is gonna do anything about especially these useless presidents. We got hooverviles now.
"I hate orange juice!"

I would totally drink all of that lol
