I once said something like "After Eights aren't as bad as everybody says."...

I've heard that orange juice goes for like $11 a gallon in some places lately, so gramps must be ballin rich!

My folks do this. If I say I like something, I’m getting that for Christmas for the next decade

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.

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.

I miss my grandad. He would do stuff like this.

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.

I told my grandma I was growing a third leg, and she knit me three socks

It's kinda fucked up how few people are comprehending this photo. They think it's about fridges full of one thing

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.

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.

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.

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 would totally drink all of that lol

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.

Thanks grandpa 😀

You will become vitamin C.

this but with ice tea and i would love it.

My grandpa died a few years ago.

I'm lucky to still have both maternal grandparents at age 41, but grandpa's mind is unfortunately heavily on the decline. He was always an intellectual which makes it extra painful.

I have an ex-girlfriend who almost exclusively live on orange juice, hummus and bread. So this was basically her fridge along with a big plastic bowl of homemade hummus and the freezer filled with one specific kind of bread. I like all of those things too but not so much I could live off of it.
