Naturally Stoned quest for Knudsen's Cottage Chees

<< < (2/5) > >>

I'm pretty sure the employee's faces were blurred (although not very well, you could easily make out the faces) because they couldn't just conceal the nametag with the brand name of the store. I think it was Chuck's disdain that they no longer carried his brand of cottage cheese that made them conceal the name of the store. They don't want the public to know what they DON'T have. Also, I think the cottage cheese that Chuck tried was covered up simply because he didn't like it.

"Woolery did not like a sample of a brand of cottage cheese in the store and opted not to withheld his opinion. He wanted Nuisance brand." [/quote]
 Either Steve doesn't watch Supermarket Sweep or he doesn't have closed captioning.  Anyway, my take on why CW shops at [bulk-item store] is either: 1) Despite his status as a game show icon, he still looks for bargains like everyone else.  Hey, even if you had $2M, you could buy more cat food at $2.84 a pop than at $4.09.  2) It was suggested by a staffer.  We all know reality shows are not 100% unscripted.  99.44% maybe...

Mr. Boden, do you have Al Howard's pager number? :-)

Yep; your reason had to be why this episode was so weird.  In the first episode, Chuck refers to CostCo by name (and, in case you didn't figure it out, he was at CostCo).  However, I really think that, if they're going to show footage of Chuck in a store, they should really make sure they can air some of these products; it gets really weird when half the screen is blurred!

[quote name=\'JRaygor\' date=\'Jun 29 2003, 11:58 PM\'] Am I the only one who finds Chucks's frugality almost comical ? I mean, this guy is a flippin' multi-millionaire and yet he still shops at a Bulk-Rate Warehouse !

 Guess how you get to BECOME a multi-millionaire? It sure as hell isn't by making a special order from the distributor every time you want a carton of cottage cheese.

I can afford not to shop at Costco. But I do, 'cuz then it saves me money that I  can spend on OTHER things. (Of course, those Other Things are usually DVD's...at Costco.... :))

I would like to hope his ego isn't that inflated. I don't get that impression, anyhow.


--- Quote ---The more I see the rap video, the more ashamed I was for Chuck.

Don't see why. I think it's pretty funny. I imagine he does too, or it probably wouldn't be airing.

I just mentioned this thread in a Yahoo! discussion board about Costco.  Check it out at...

I'm letting you know just in case someone from the Costco message board wants to join this board.
