I hate Johnny Depp. But I love me some snackfoods, especially when they're in garish unnatural colors like this.
Whatta dillemma.

Funny, I hate snackfoods and love Johnny Depp (just kidding though I do like his movies). But I hate broken FPP's most of all.
Wonka candy is candy with a sense of humor and that makes it better than that humorless crap from Nestle.

My friend C. lives across the street from the Hostess factory in Seattle (you can't really call it a bakery.) When the breeze is right, everything smells like Twinkies. There is a standpipe that comes out of the side of the building that is labeled "Chocolate." We keep talking about arranging a tour for our circle of conspirators.

that's ok, fenriq, I still think you deserve all the same rights as normal people.

warbaby, my man, you need to bottle that scent and sell it as fragrance. Some girl dabs that behind her ears and I'm hers for the asking.

Today was a hot day so this part of Potrero Avenue smelled like coconut for some reason, which made a change from the usual smell of bum...

If I didn't admire Mr Depp as much as I do, or once did, I wouldn't be as disappointed as I am.
Clearly I'm more sentimental and less world weary than Mr sumday et al.

Hmmm, COCA is in the same block. They host DorkBot meetings. Maybe I can get something going through the Peripheral Studies Institute (which is loosely affilitated with the Fabricators of the Attachment [FA]).

Maybe the correct link is this: http://www.twinkies.com/wonka.asp?
Although I'm still not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for.

Holy Crap!!! I can't believe we missed the Twinkies 75th birthday. The closest we came is this.

As opposed to what, somebody else's blood?

Clearly I'm playing to a jaded audience.
Look, when John Steinbeck and Hemingway shilled for Ballantine ale, presumably they needed the money- taxes were high back then- and presumably they actually liked the product. Regardless, the ads themselves are embarassing.
Taxes are lower now and Depp commands a kingly salary. There are always other projects. Refusal on principle would have been a thought provoking gesture. He could have taken a cue from his elders.
It's not earth shattering stuff (a little too much of that lately around here, no?), but depressing all the same. Especially given other current headlines
(note to blm- pedantry is never attractive. Go report to Languagehat.)
