Farewell, Mother

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Last Monday, October 13th, “Mother” of Mother’s Cookies was found dead in her home - she died at 92 years of age.
Although she appears to have died of natural causes, authorities have not ruled out foul play: Stella d’Oro and several Keebler Elves have been taken into custody for questioning.

The distraught company, Mother’s Cookies, has closed its doors, never to open them again.

Farewell Iced Oatmeal.
Farewell Taffy.
And farewell Circus Animals. . . I loved you most of all.

Frosted Bonus Round: News of the closing of Mother’s has caused a panicky hoarding at grocery stores in my neighborhood - the last bags of “Circus Animals” are already gone from the shelves, bought-up by grieving shoppers.

Minor Travesty of the Week: The Baconator

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

I went to Wendy’s this afternoon, I had to try their “Baconator” - in the name of science, bacon, and all that is awesome.

It was like when I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real.

All the ingredients were there, but they didn’t look like the advertisement photos and they tasted like greasy sadness.

This type of thing is also why I will never go on dating websites or get a mail-order bride: rarely is anything as awesome as its marketing photo.
