Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Weekend Gallery

August 28, 2016

I really should call this week’s gallery the Stupid Marketing Edition, but that seems to be every week anymore. Every season and holiday has to have special food, clothes, etc. and it’s just ridiculous! I long for the day when it will stop, but until that time, I’ll have quite a supply of blog fodder. Let’s take a look shall we?

Let’s start off with the newest flavor of Cheerios – Pumpkin Spice. As if we needed another new flavor of ANYTHING! Secretly I wonder how they are, but the realist in me balks because it’s senseless.

And, in other new flavor news – cookie flavored coffee creamer. There’s not much real about this stuff anyway so why add useless cookie flavors?? I’d just make the damn cookies from scratch and have my coffee with half and half. At least you know all the ingredients in those!

These should not need an explanation. Although, the marshmallow thing reveals the ending of the original movie and so if you haven’t seen that movie, the ending won’t be nearly as fun and surprising. Major spoilers everywhere thanks to marketing.

And these. O.M.G. – I am sooooo sick of the emoji craze! For a while everything was mustaches (still don’t understand that fad) and now it’s emoji’s. So, I’m asking, since we have 5,000 emoticons to use when we text, or Skype, or email – do we really need snack cakes with them??

This one at least makes some sense – there’s a lot of kids with nut allergies so someone came up with this idea of a peanut butter alternative made from soy. But then, if you don’t want any soy in your diet you’re screwed again. Just have a turkey sandwich!

I only took a picture of this for two reasons: 1) It’s a coffee maker! and 2) it’s the MOZART coffee maker. ‘Nuff said.

And lastly we have the head wisk. Yep a head wisk. Apparently it’s a scalp massager and it’s a thing – you can find them in all sorts of shapes and sizes (including wisk-like ones) at Amazon. Still, the picture of how it’s used just made me laugh. I’ll stick with brushing my hair 50 strokes every night with a brush as in the old days.

And that’s all for today. As the holiday seasons start in earnest, I know there will be lots more of this type of stuff so look for more snarky and silly Weekend Gallery in the weeks to come.

The statute of limitations on Ghostbusters spoilers might be up (that was 32 years ago). Also, I think the marshmallow man is in the trailer for the new movie, so no spoilers there?
I am very tempted to try pumpkin spice Cheerios... god knows normal Cheerios need flavor to be edible.
100% in agreement on the emoji shit, though. I'll be over here with my old fashioned (and slightly Japanese) text smileys, thank you very much >_>. (Granted, we have Japan to thank for the term "emoji").
