Gimme a solid

May 10th, 2006

It’s a slow news day in my head, so here’s this.

Kate forwarded this to me around Easter… I just remembered it becuase I’m still working on a Fannie May Solid Milk Chocolate Rabbit from a few weeks ago. (Ew!) It’s all part of the Great Apartment Eat-Out, my self-imposed plan to eat only the food in my studio before moving to the Slope in two weeks. I was going to document The Eat-Out daily on DR, before I realized it was really boring and trivial “in the scheme of things” — like everything else I seem to care about only worse!.

The word “Solid” on the box is so key. Dee only sends solid chocolate animals, as we share a deep-rooted resentment for hollow ones like those pictured. Who do they think they’re kidding? Nearly everyone! What a buzzkill.

We will not stand for this. It’s solid or bust! Dee enjoys the bonus chocolate. I like the “ski slope” skid marks I get to leave on the rolling plains of solidity with my teeth. Also: the bonus chocolate.

Those “crumbs” in the graphic look suggestive of feces. I’d still eat ‘em.
