    We had awful chalk-based bread growing up.

    But always Welch’s Grape Juice, since we were Methodist. Charles Welch invented pasteurized grape juice specifically for his Methodist congregation to have an alcohol-free communion wine.

      In the case of the bready Jeebus story above, I believe they used Sqwelch’s Grape Preserves for the filling. 😜

      Presbyterian in my youth, same story, croutons and Welsh’s. Loved the tiny, fluted shot glasses! Heavy bottoms, carried in 2-layer wood platters, bottom lined with green felt. Just checked my wife’s monster shot glass collection, only one similar, way bigger.

      Funny enough, I checked last night to see if the church was still around. I think it is? Hard to tell. I should write, tell them I grew up there and beg for a shot glass. Ya know, for “religious” reasons.

      My church was on the other side of town, “across the tracks” so to speak. Nothing but old people and two kids my age. There was a nice Methodist church down our street, tons of kids, plenty of cute girls, but no was couldn’t go there. :(

    At least she didn’t add figs to that bread mix… Jesus would’ve come down personally to smite that woman.

      Oyster crackers?! 😂 Did you just take one tiny cracker each communion?

      “This is my body, this is my blood. OK, body’s kinda small, on a budget here people.”

    Two in one shampoo and conditioner with jesus reminded me of that time our town had christian-themed sushi bar and its name was - you guessed it - JESUSHI! Wonder why they went out of business so fast…

    The church i went to growing up taught that it’s supposed to be unleavened bread, meaning it has no yeast. I’m not sure if that’s strictly biblical or not though. It represented that Jesus was without sin. I guess yeast is evil or something lol.

    Frankly, I’d say that a “sanctified” cleansing combo product like that should be called “Blood of the Lamb”, and I can almost hear the psalm-y infomercial now…
