Get Yourself a Bag of Awesome

I asked Jenny, Princess of Candy Mountain, for a Bag of Awesome. It’s good to demand impossible things when you’re taking over the world, in order to test the resourcefulness of people around you.

Cleverly, instead of insisting there was no such thing, Jenny immediately recommended a bag of Aquatic Oceanic Gummis.

“Aquatic Oceanic Gummis!?” I asked. “I will take two bags!” (Candy makes me excitable.)

Cynthia with the Contents of the Bag of Awesome

I took one of the bags to work, and asked Cynthia to help me examine it, to see if it really was a bag of awesome or if I had once again become the victim of cruel marketing.

After going through several keyboards (the tests were quite strenuous), we came to a decision. It was indeed a Bag of Awesome, but it was gone too fast and sadly, it did not have enough octopuses.

The Mysterious Sea Beast

On a side note, we could not identify this gummy in the course of our examination.

What the heck kind of sea creature do you think this is supposed to be? Any ideas? Also, what impossible demands do YOU like to make on a regular basis?

Random fact that might be related to things of awesome: There is a Bacon of the month club. That’s Bacon. Delivered to your door, a new one each month, of a different flavour. Bacon.

I once had I dream that such a thing could be true, and when I described this to my parents, they sent me to my room, where I cried and tried to pretend that my blanket was a giant sheet of bacon; it was not.

I gave my friend a three-month membership to the Bacon of the Month Club! She said it was beyond exciting getting bacon in the mail.
As for the sea creature…could that be a sea sponge? Or maybe a piece of trash that got thrown off a cruise ship?

Bacon of the Month Club, eh? It is quite random that both of your have heard of this. Or, am I just out of the loop these days?

In any case, I want the little Rubber Toy Pig that comes with it. C, if you want to realize your dreams, knock yourself out: http://www.gratefulpalate.com/?p=MultiOption_31&parent=Page_47
