Do People Actually Buy This Stuff?

[Jim White]

This caught my eye today. Inexplicably, it was on the shelf at CVS. I am completely flummoxed by it. Sorry, I was so shocked I didn't even look at what the price was. Whatever is inside the bag felt like it was kind of briquette shaped and just a bit smaller than normal.



I mean, presumably the hickory will come through, but all that other stuff? I imagine the fire might smell good but really doubt any taste comes through.

That’s interesting!

[RichieB]

Why?

[Jerod Broussard]

Guess they figured people are drugged up enough to purchase anything.

[smokenoob]

edible charcoal? 😂😂😂

[barelfly]

Just need to grind it up a bit and sprinkle on

I’ve noticed that if I’m shaking Lowerys seasoned salt on burgers while grilling them you get a very pleasant aroma. I have never even supposed that that would translate into more flavor. If I throw a half teaspoon on the charcoal the neighbors will be calling asking what smells so good. But getting better flavor ain’t happening.

I laughed so hard at this . We all aee the stupidist things in stores.

And Now For something completely different …….

Unreal....

You can use this charcoal to fire up your grill for when you put a pot over the charcoal to boil the ribs. It's an effective way to cook the ribs.

At first glance I thought Kingsford had entered the potato chip business. That would make a lot more sense.

[Jim White]

Yeah, I'd try those in a heartbeat.

[CaptainMike]

I know garlic does not smell very good when it burns.

[DaveD]

Do they have a Pumpkin Spice variety??

[realdocBBQ]

Ooooooh marketing idea! Patent that! Errrr... ok, Trademark that!

[Jim White]

The corner is right over there, Dave.

[Bkhuna]

Patio potpourri.

[bbqLuv]

Yeah, well, don't knock it until you try it. LOL
I wonder if they have that in pellet form.
