Please, first, tell me that you are safe. We'll work on happy, upbeat moods later. Right now, there's too much scary stuff going on in the world. Let's hope our friend Yvonne got the xanax she requested; she's in Houston with family. Love ya, Yvonne. Stay safe. Okay?
I've needed extra doses of my drug of choice these days. So I sampled Chloe's Dark Chocolate, low cal popsicles. Yummy. It tastes light and chocolate-y, definitely satisfying. It didn't taste particularly dark, more like milk chocolate. But these are pretty darn good. I give it an 8 on a 1-10 scale.
Next, I tried chocolate chip popcorn. I know, weird, right? Yeah, no good. Bad. They tasted like -I don't know- some type of cereal fail. Why try to combine sweet and salty, if you're not going to do either the sweet or the salty right? Don't try this one. I give it a 3 on a 1-10 scale. (I did finish the bag, so I can't honestly go lower. I've tasted worse.)

Now, for silliness' sake, let's play games! I stole these from Facebook and Twitter. Please respond in the comments section. I'll leave a few suggestions, italicized, to get us started.
(1) Ruin a first date in 4 words. ______ ______ ______ _______.
Man: Is four inches okay?
Woman: No sex before marriage!
(2) Give an unlikely name to the Royal Baby (Kate is pregnant with baby #3.)
Fresh Prince of Buckingham Palace
Thurston Howell, III.
&/or (2B) What will be the Royal Baby's first words?
Mum, why do I have more hair than Daddy?
Sh*t! Granny cursed like a sailor when I peed on her new hat.
Stay safe. Keep a smile.
Know that you are loved. 'Cuz I love you.
Yeah, I'm not big on chocolate and salt. Wouldn't even consider that popcorn.
ReplyDeleteIt could work, but this one doesn't Mitchell.
DeleteI think popcorn is severely over-rated. I really would defile chocolate with it.
ReplyDeleteOn the babies name? Spare the Second.
Oh, that's a good bad name, EC.
DeleteThank you.
I used to think popcorn was the ultimate snack food. But it has fat in it. That's ludicrous. Now I agree with you.
The second sure doesn't sound appetizing.
ReplyDelete1. Relax. It's only crabs.
2. Odd One Out
3. They named a toilet paper after us?
HAHA! Great ones, Pat.
DeleteI think I'll test #1 whenever/if ever I had a chance to. Smiles.
I don't understand the salted caramel trend at all, so I can't see how salt & chocolate would be at all good. Gross.
ReplyDeleteAnd this one is just a sloppy job - nothing good about it. I'm not into salted caramel either. I don't get it. But bacon flavored chocolate can be awesome.
DeleteTake care and stay safe, friend.
1a. My place, or yours?
ReplyDelete1b. That's an unusual outfit.
1c. Dang, are those real?
2. Hilary (girl) or Donald (boy)
I'm giggling. I really like 1c. And it's hilarious to imagine them naming their new baby Hilary. Donald was probably the most common twitter response too.
DeleteThanks for playing, Wilma.
Are you into threesomes? That would ruin a first date.
ReplyDeleteIt would for me, Alex. I've seen personal ads requesting a third. Eww.
DeleteBe well and safe.
1. Man: You are paying, right?
ReplyDeleteWoman: I'm a crack ho.
2. Herman for a boy; Earline for a girl
Love,
Janie
Great stuff, Janie. I can envision it: Presenting, Prince Herman!
DeleteHey, stay safe.
Love.
I have that exact same Minion mat! LOL Of course.
ReplyDeleteUnlikely names - Butch, Hunter, Joe-Bob.
Haha. A Rednecky name like those would be awesome. And now, world, meet the newest royal: Prince Joe-Bob of Buckingham. Someone toss that babe a barbecued spare rib and case of beer.
DeleteMan: Watch the Three Stooges?
ReplyDeleteWoman: My daddy's the Sheriff.
Boy: Claude, The Heir Formerly Known as Prince.
Girl: Gladys, Hephzibah
Smart one - daddy's the Sheriff.
DeleteAnd Hephzibah - I kinda like it. She'll never learn to spell her name, but she'll be able to afford her own personal speller. So, who cares?
Thank you, Jono.
Be safe and well.
There is no excuse for chocolate to turn out bad somthe one who thought chocolate covered popcorn would be good should be horse-whipped.
ReplyDeleteMan: want chocolate-covered popcorn?
Woman: I'm a needy bitch
Boy name: Prince Gaylord Von Seffertitz
Girl Name: Princess Beatrice..oops already taken. Princess Whora Von humpalot.
First words: can I swing from Grandpa's ears?
I'm in stitches. You always do that to me, Birgit. I love you for it. All of it. Princess Beatrice is already taken? Oy vey. Whora Von Humpalot will have to do. She'll do it over and over again.
DeleteThank you, hilarious lady!
Be safe and well.
You must be so ashamed of me; I haven't had any chocolate in ages.
ReplyDeleteSlightly envious of your restraint, somewhat ashamed, yes. Smiles. Good for you.
Deletethis was a great post to read on a Monday
ReplyDeletethe chocolate popcorn - sorry you sacrificed taste buds to let us know thumbs down
four words - I will not wear that - okay it's five....whatever
Names - Brexit and Brexitte
words - Make Britain Great Again
You are a hoot. Have a super week
Nice, Joanne. My favorite is "okay it's five...whatever."
DeleteThank you.
Be well and safe.
Yes on the popsicles! Hell no on the popcorn.
ReplyDeleteCorrect answers!
DeleteThanks, Martha.
Ruin a date in four words: My name's Donald Trump (for the Democrats)
ReplyDeleteMy name's Hillary Clinton (for the Republicans)
Names: Bullocks, Gobsmack, Squib
Haha. You're funny. Gobsmack for the win!
DeleteLove ya.
Chocolate should never be adulterated. That's in the Mosaic Decalogue. As for names of the next royal, I'm always in favor of Geo.(George) --unless it's a girl, in which case I recommend Mab, deliverer of dreams.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful definition (of Mab), but I can't like the sound of the name. George or Geo's a great one, though.
DeleteTake care, friend.
The popsicles sound like something worth a try. I have tried popcorn that has had chocolate added that was good but as you said....if you are going for the salty, sweet combo it has to be done right.
ReplyDeleteYes, a sloppy, throw together job doesn't work when you're working with chocolate. Why don't people get that?
DeleteThanks for stopping by, Cheryl.
Be safe and well.
1. Trump makes me hard.
ReplyDelete2. Condombroke.
Yes there is a lot of people suffering right now. And now in Mexico and the Caribbean too.
Peace and love.
xo
Great entries.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anthony.
Peace and love.
Yes, hope our friends are safe from the calamities striking the world recently.
ReplyDeleteThat Popsicle looks yummy! I love it already. Thanks for honest review as always.
Thank you and you're welcome, Lux.
