They range from mild to extra hot. The flavor, outside of the heat,
is what makes them different. If you taste them side by side with
regular Anaheims, you can tell the difference....

Sheldon, do you EVER use the words "supermarket" or "tentacles"? Or are you
obsessively stuck with using your puerile substitutes?

Don't you mean there really was a guy named Walgreen? Or were you

It may be.

Read around.

Wal-mart negotiates variations in brand-identified items all the time.

They will take things you think are the same as in any other
store and adulterate them, and you will only know it by reading
the ingredients list.

Did you check the entire list of specs on those two tv's?

I doubt it.

Wal-mart wins.

You lose.

You moron.

Plus they probably buy them from the manufacturers WITHOUT warrenty.

Lots of large companies look after warrenty claims themselves, and may
only have limited support from the actual manufacturer.

I did some price-checking before I joined Costco. I was furnishing a
corporate apartment, and I needed a television stand and a television. I
saved $160 on the TV and $40 on the stand as compared to Circuit City.

They suck for different reasons. But, I'd rather choose from a list of
people who are at least normally functioning adults, instead of having one
in the White House who, in any typical school system, would have been
singled out for what psychologists like to call "intervention", and a
permanent pass to ride on the short bus every day.

Damn right. We'd have a president who invented the Internet!

At this point, shouldn't someone be posting, "If you're reading this, thank
Al Gore."?

None were fabulous choices. But, at least Kerry & Gore fell within the range
of what 46% of voters would call "reasonable intelligence". Bush, on the
other hand, really is in another category, and that appealed to people who
were similar. Notice how politely I worded that last sentence. It's too
early in the day to state it the real way.

Actually Walmart does something even slicker (for them) and its the
reason why they will cheerfully take that "rental" chainsaw back that
was used and abused over the weekend by Bubba and his friends. They
simply charge back the manufacturer. So even though the manufacturers
terms (and budget) don't cover abuse they are forced to cover anything
Bubba drags back to the Walmart return desk.

I usually use anaheims and jalapenos in my salsa verde but I grabbed some
hatch for fun and I could taste the difference but the difference did not
justify the difference in price in my opinion.

Even if the model numbers are different, they may be the same item. You
believe this is fictional, but as usual, you have no experience to back up
your delusion.

Try roasting them and taking off the skins. Add them to something for
which you would normally use Anaheims.

They are still roasting them here in NM....
