this service completely dispenses with the necessity of sending one’s other half out at midnight on a fools’ errand for a jar of pickled eggs and a dozen pots of banana flavoured yoghurt; risking his damaged ego in the process when he fails miserably at his quest and the bitter disappointment of the
lady in question.
nutritionists and doctors are undecided about what exactly is occurring that triggers these urges for strange cuisine.
the hormone changes that women experience appear to have a powerful impact on taste and smell; some food aversions are felt just as strongly, if not more so. in a survey that I read recently, it appears that almost half of the cravings are for sweet food; I’m guessing that this is to replenish energy supplies. about a third of women questioned craved salty foods perhaps indicating an imbalance of sodium and so on. it does seem that the body is extremely artful in letting us know what we need in all states of health not just pregnancy but it is just more apparent in these very special nine months.
o.k. then, this delivery service would be stocked to the gills with every imaginable food that a pregnantee has ever demanded and more.
it will be necessary to be able to provide at short notice such items as coal, dirt, plaster, coffee grounds, certain flavours of toothpaste, soap, detergent etc.
just telephone your order and within 30 minutes, it is brought to your front door, possibly by a biker dressed as a stork carrying a cotton bundle on a stick – but now, I am just getting whimsical.

I think the costume is essential. Preganant women love that shit! |

Surely this service could be combined with a service for people who like to smoke m.. er.. people who may, for whatever reason, get the munchies at 2am. I think the two services overlap in terms of demand times, and the variety and oddness of demands.
Those type of people would also get an immense amount of enjoyment out of seeing the scooter-dude dressed as a 6' stork..... |

Anyway, great idea. Anything to save the S.O. another trip out of bed, and fully half the time, by the time the food is obtained, the craving has passed, in my experience. Make it a subscription service, with a set fee for all you can desire, so there are no arguments or hesitation over the price in the wee hours when judgement is fuzzy. |
|
| |
"You spent $35 for a jar of pickles?" |
|
| |
"But you should have know that was a ridiculous price." |
|
| |
"But you were happy to have them last night." |
|
| |
"I can't believe what an idiot you are. You should have known. And I expect you to raise my kids? I am this close to walking out right now and saving myself years or regret." |

(or other similar hormone induced irrational ranting) |

| |
Po! What has become of your
capitalisation? |
|
| |
Nutrition at night, a good idea. + |
|
| |
The name of the service could be "Pica-peck"? |
|
| |
sava means corpse? oh dear... |
|
| |
wow, [Basepair] I never noticed before (despite being told off for using Po, instead of po) - but a random sample of po's ideas shows that NONE of them have any capitalisation at all! I feel such a dolt for not noticing before, soz [po] |
|
| |
ickle hug <zen> it's just a po thing... |
|
| |
Suitable for making the old, pedestrian 'one cup', or the new unbelievably cool stuff for making the mind-blowing "two cups of coffee" phenomenum/drink sweeping the HB world? |
|
| |
except i, what's wrong with little i? |
|
| |
...I thought about making some tongue twister about "po" and "pica-peck" based on "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper".... |
|
| |
...probably indicates a huge ego or something. |
|
| |
[po] is objective. Delivery services deliver what you could arguably get for yourself with a minimum of effort (pizza - an example) (bag of salt for your water softener - second example). If a major chain, e.g., Domino's Pizza, were to fashion its marketing to impulsive purchasers, a creative staff might endear itself to consumers in ways unforseen. Husbands, let's say, who get nailed by an icy stare and "you ordered PIZZA - with CHEESE!? What a stupid ..." stand to hear instead "Oh .. my god. A Dove™ bar. How did you know ...". + |
|
| |
You know how they say that men think they rule the world but its really the women who control them? Well, if women ruled ther world it'd really be the Dove Bars. Which, seeing as 'rule' obeys the transitive property of equality, I guess the Dove Bars already do rule the world. Now, who rules the Dove Bars? |
|
| |
Bars of soap rule the world? |
|

Three of us are having a baby in one month. Don't ask. It's not mine, I'm the financer. |
|
| |
Interesting thing, soap. Put a bar underneath your bedsheet and banish your leg cramps. Congratulations, [mensmaximus]. |
|
| |
someone please ask mens, is he a surrogate? |
|
| |
Make that four. Another girl due in August. |
|
| |
Hope he's the kind who goes companion shopping when the spouses are on a sympathy binge. |
|
| |
If the service doesn't have the required item, does the driver have to come round and receive the lash of the tongue, saving the s.o. from the inevitable hormonally charged verbal assault? |
|
| |
//If the service doesn't have the required item// the service, as I imagine it, will pride itself in having if not *the* foodstuff then something very similar. |
|
| |
sorry - tidying up, went a little pear shaped. |
|
| |
<blink> What went pear-shaped? Why are you sorry? What.... |
|
| |
i thought this idea was about nocturnal defecation. |
|
| |
And here I thought this idea was about Santa Claus and his naughty list. |
|
| |
Reading all this stuff has made me kind of glad I'm uncle to 13 and father to none. Enjoy the fun of little ones with none of the responsibilities. |
|
| |
I suggest the name "Hog Wild". "Hog" because the deliveries will be done by motorcycle, and "Wild" for the selection of foods they will bring. |
|
| |
Will they be able to provide me with my much needed supply of black licorice, pork rinds, and Dr pepper with midori in it? |
|
| |
[ye_river_xiv], you with child? You really should be more careful of what you eat if you are. I would hate to think you might choke on some pork rinds when you have a bun in the oven. Congrats, I hope! |
