The Big Hurt!

My parents, knowing little of baseball, made my middle name Thomas. In little league I was “the little hurt.” Until of course Something About Mary came around, then I was always “Franks and Beans!!!” Then one day, the best thing that ever happened to me, Old School, bestowed upon me the moniker of “Frank the Tank.” After 6 years of Franks and Beans I couldn’t have been happier.

But now I’m married with a child, so my only nicknames are dumbass and da-da.

My first apartment was a studio type at $100/month, then got my mortgage at 17 for $500/month. I've seen modern rent and don't know how the young folks are doing it. And as for the grocery, I'm the guy with all of the coupons that everyone hates. rotf
I know it's kind of insane isn't it. I remember when I first lived on my own getting 200 dollars of groceries and not needing to buy anything for a long long time. Now I can make that last two weeks if I don't get lazy.

It sounds as if there may not be an established name for a pack of five tins of the same blend wrapped in plastic. We can wing it, or we might invent a name that would adhere, though I would think there would be a name in the wholesale trade. If not, I nominate something mandane like a Five Pack, or a Roll of Five, or something slightly snappier like a Quint, as in quintuplets.
