Wow, and here you just blasted Sheldon -- it's *your* cheap - a$$ self
that is the witless ingrate here You "donate" stuff that you yourself
wouldn't eat. That simply shows your sheer and unadulterated contempt
for the those who are on the receiving end of your
"largesse"...pitiful!

I've given to food drives before and I wouldn't dream of giving away
old, inedible, or otherwise crummy comestibles. I've donated top -
quality and name - brand stuff, not cheapo generic junk that I myself
wouldn't eat. When I've donated tuna it's been the good white albacore
stuff, not the cat food crap. I've donated a goodly amount of Paul
Newman brand stuff, that way my "charity money" is doubled as all his
profits go to charity. I've given Kraft Mac 'n Cheese, not the generic
stuff, as that's what I myself eat. The soups I've given have been
Progresso or better, condiments are Heinz, canned veg are Del
Monte/Green Giant, baked beans are Bush's, etc...

I figger folks on the receiving end must get mighty tired of the cheap
lowest - common - denominator victuals, maybe a jar of Paul Newman
pasta sauce or a Toblerone chocolate bar or Quaker - brand oats will
brighten their day a little bit...I know because I've had a time or two
in my life when *I* was scraping by at the bottom of the barrel.
