Midget Popsicles
Right off the bat, the term "Midget Popsicles" is a legitimate culinary phase - after all, Del Monte sells Midget Pickles:
I bought some Breyers Fruit Swirl Bars (Lemon Lime, of course). This is what they look like on the box:
This is what they look like when you take off the wrapper:
Not really the same thing. Now Breyers either needs to start labeling the box "Midget Popsicles" or else they have a quality control problem. (I've bought these before, so I know its the latter). Of course, since I have this week off in between jobs and way too much time on my hands, I had to write an absolutely scathing letter, demanding compensation:
My handwriting is not normally that sloppy, but the adrenaline was rushing through my veins as I expressed my fury.
Ok, I sort of wimped out on the letter. I even addressed it to "Dear Packers Fan" since the letter was going to Green Bay and I was trying to ingratiate myself with the Breyers people. I even told them their popsicles are yummy. They probably thought it was written by an eight-year old.
Oh well. Now I gotta go water the garden before my girlfriend gets home so it seems like I did something today besides writing letters to popsicle companies.
