***Costco Sample Update For February 05, 2010***

Sample Bowl Fever was the name of the game today.  Today's line-up was strikingly similar to yesterday's, with a few exceptions: All Américan Chocolate Cake, Jalapeño Artichoke Dip on Chips, Tostitos Salsa & Chips, Chocolate Covered Almonds, Chocolate Covered Raisins, Vitarain Drink, Sobe Lifewater, Pita Chips & Hummus, Sun Chips, Chicken Salad on Wheat Bread, Pulled Pork Sandwich with Sweet Baby Ray's Sauce, Chipotle Tri -Tip, Fresh Avocado, Vanilla Ice Cream w/Blueberries, Pizza - Boboli Sauce w/fresh Mozzarella( sample of the day), Meatballs in Jamaican Me Crazy Sauce, Hot n Spicy Chicken Wings, Cracked Pepper Wings, Honey BBQ Wings.


Overall rating: 7.8/10.  We had a real wild day today at the second day of the sample bowl and I made some real rookie mistakes.  With the sample bowl in full swing, some of our friends expressed interest in joining us for samples.  The relaxed crowds and jovial atmosphere from yesterday had seduced me into thinking that we could bring babes to sample with us and we decided to invite a couple.  Summer, a relatively new babe in our lives, did well but had a real poor reaction to the Sobe Lifewater and the Meatballs.  Neena, a babe from my past,  pretty much just disappeared the moment we got to Costco and managed to spill blueberries all over her white shirt.  We were lucky that neither of these young ladies were injured in the crowds today as they were ravenous.  The real tragedy of the day was that we really strained relationships with the sample ladies.  When they saw the lovely Summer and Neena, a wave of jealousy seemed to sweep over them and their behavior reflected it.  The trays were empty and the wait times were long.  I think it is going to take days, nay, weeks to earn their trust back.  

Bridges have been burnt.
