Kinder SURPRISE!!!

[full on idle]

The end.

[Hannahrain]

Goddamnit. Can we stop with the delicious food item threads? I'm going to the store.

I will be purchasing one candy and one surprise. I'm into DIY.

[keriann]

so surprising.

I also like that the surprise is of greater mass than the candy.

[J~$$$]

Awesome. Wheres the little lady that goes inside the rocket via the mini poster?

[bmack86]

That's an intense idea.

There is a gift basket that was placed on my desk over the weekend, allegedly for being a good person. I tend to disagree, but whatever. It's the thought that counts. I will now detail for you the contents of the basket:

(1) Full sized bag of Smartfood popcorn
(1) Box of Cinnamon Roll flavored Pop Tarts, 8 count
(1) Box of Hot Fudge Sundae flavored Pop Tarts, 8 count
(3) Supersized Slim Jims, original flavor
(1) Can of Planter's brand "cocktail" peanuts
(1) Full sized bag of Snyder's of Hanover pretzels
(1) Full sized bag of Baken-Ets brand PORK RINDS!!!!!!!1!1!1!!!!
(8) Individually wrapped Hostess twinkies
(1) Package of Red Vine brand red licorice
(2) Oversized squares of Ghiradelli chocolate, one with nuts, one without.
(1) Bag of Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Chunk White Chocolate Macadamia Cookies
(1) Bag of Pepperidge Farm DOUBLE Chocolate Chunk Dark Chocolate Cookies
(2) 32 oz bottles of Powerade, one is called "Arctic Shatter", the other goes by the name of "Mountain Blast"

Also, quite inexplicably,

(1) 12 oz bag of Tree Of Life Trail Mix. Just in case, I guess.

This is simultaneously the most bizarre and most beautiful gift I have ever received in my life. I won't be eating lunch for a week. This is glorious. Thank you so much. Really.

How do you not love FOIey?

I actually chuckled at this, which was surprising. Ordinarily I skim right over anything written with any special fonts or colors, or in any other way that I think sucks.

Sorry...It was an upcoming Fall thing~

kinder sopresa sounds better, and for some reason tastes better too

lol

Valarie, I would also like to commend the assembly job that you did on the surprise. It looks as if it required skill.

[Stefinitely Maybe]

My cat (well it's not actually my cat, it's my flatmate's cat, but I live with it, so whatever) loves playing with those yellow Kinder Surprise eggs. There's one in my bedroom right now, and every day when I get home from work it's been moved to a different part of the room. I think the cat must spend all day trying to open it and reach the surprise.

[Hannahrain]

It must be very frustrating for him to know that there's a surprise in there but lack the opposable thumbs to access it. I'm not sure how well I'd do under those circumstances.

Hannah, why did you assume that the cat - which I had purposely referred to using only the neutral "it" pronoun - was a he? The cat is in fact a SHE. You are clearly a sexist, shame on you.

Anyway, if you're anything like her, you'd deal with those circumstances by pushing the egg around my bedroom all day, and then attacking me as soon as I walked in the front door, and for the rest of the evening.

"He" requires one less letter to type and is therefore both more energy conscious for me as a person, and for the world as a whole. Any efficiency expert will tell you that. I'm not sexist, I'm eco-conscious. Though I can see how it would appear the other way to the untrained eye.

Nantucket was the world's leading whaling port until 1840.

but you typed "him"

IT'S A FACT.

Kinder surprises are all well and good until you end up with a creepy French soccer (er... football) fan that doesn't even require assembly. Actually, it would probably be creepier if it did. Hmm... cigarettes, red wine, bike gears, overwhelming pride, voila!
