Wife: “Honey? Do we have any blindfolds?”

Hubs: “I don’t think so, except for the special one. Will that work?”

Wife: “Yes. Would you be a dear and fetch it for me?”

Hubs: [from bedroom] “What about the handcuffs?”

Wife: “Maybe later.”

Fun fact: Similar to how Nabisco comes from “National Biscuit Company”, Crisco comes from “crystallized cottonseed oil”. Huh.

An Astonishing Blindfold Test

See if this doesn’t give you the greatest surprise of your whole cooking experience!

Put a little Crisco on the tip of one spoon. On the tip of another place a little of the fat you are now using; have someone blindfold you, and give you first one, then the other to taste.

Now did you ever imagine there could be such a striking difference in the taste of cooking fats? Think what an improvement Crisco’s own sweetness and freshness will make in your own cakes, pies, biscuits, and fried foods.
