The Angry Grandpa Goes Pecans

I want my pinwheels

Ha-Ha. The Angry Grandpa has caused a veritable run on these Great Value Pecan Sweet Rolls. The here-in-below video has gone viral...

Ok, Ok, it may sound pecans, but before passing judgement, watch this over-the-top YouTube offering a few times. And then it will happen. As if a marijuana induced munch-a-thon has taken hold, the desire to eat a few of these pecan sweet rolls will set in. Ok, Ok, go to Walmart and it will be too bad and too sad. There are no Great Value Pecan Sweet Rolls to score. SOLD OUT!!! Gramps is a marketing phenomenon.

Yummy for sure, look at what's in these delicacies...

Searching the cookie and bakery aisle at a local Walmart yields no luck. Niente. Nothing. Long gone are these delectable pecan "pinwheels". Right now, it's just hard to keep them in stock. Asking a floor worker about them, led to a couple of

•  "I dunnos." and
•  a "Yeah, man, those pinwheels are good."

No wonder... with the sort of marketing and advertising push The Angry Grandpa has created for the pseudo faux food phenomena, most everyone will have to wait a bit until they can procure the sweet rolls and a resultant chemical fill. Whee, pecan pinwheelies...

angry dementia or a petard?

The Angry Grandpa Show http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAngryGrandpaShow is a sensation on MTV. The trailer park based stories are loud, crude and American, in distinction to another of that network's smash hits, Jersey Shore. Snicker-Snicker. The disquieting videos offer a respite from unemployment, high food and energy prices and the general blahs. Too bad the old man makes a person with a shred of introspection feel badly. But introspection could be considered a weakness in 2011. It is best avoided. As far as what might be perceived as elder abuse, look askance, the world can be a cruel place.

What if The Angry Grandpa is just an act? Noooooo....

Oh Yeah... And I still want my pinwheels
