    Since this the...ahem...Critic's Corner, my list would be:

    * Bo & Luke Duke, not Koy nor Vance
    * Chrissy Snow, not Cindy Snow
    * Jason Bourne, not Aaron Cross
    * Arnold, not Big Al
    * Daniel Larusso, most definitely not Hilary Swank nor Jaden Smith
    * Sean Connery or Daniel Craig, not Roger Moore nor anyone else.

      This thread should have been titled "there is no substitute," and to that end I will add Porsche to this list.

                  I was about to add Oreos to this list and shout it from the rooftops, but others have already said it.... and then someone brings up this whole Wegman's bit. I would give them a try, but since I am not domiciled in the Mid-Atlantic region, I'll have to stick to the generally available Oreo.

                    Before Twinkies shut down (and resurfaced), I would have said Twinkies because the only substitutes were the barf-tastic Submarinos, brought to you by Bimbo- the Mexican Wonderbread. However, some American companies have stepped up to the plate and produced the Dream Cake, which is approximate to the Twinkie.

                            I just learned that canned asparagus is terrible. I should have seen that coming.

                                Frozen is passable. Fresh is, of course, awesome.
