<DIV>Hey, I hear that. Why this morning I had to get a screwdriver to remove the slabbing so I could get to some eggs (5.5) and some bacon (6.0) for my breakfast. Topped it off with my Flintstones vitamins (Fred: 9.0, Wilma: 9.3, Dino 10.0).</DIV>

<DIV>I think the slabbing trend is catching on with other outlets. Why, just yesterday I was in McDonalds (-8.0) and ordered a double cheeseburger (still being appraised).</DIV>
