Too much




Sometimes reality is just too much for me. I begin to ask myself, "Is this real? And if so... why?"

And so it is again, as I ponder this can of Jennie's Macaroons. I'm just not understanding the whole marketing angle here. Now surely, this guy knows his way around a macaroon. These things are pretty good, and with an ingredient list this small (coconut, honey, egg whites), I'm totally sold. And they're gluten-free!

I'm just a little fuzzy as to why one would put a picture of this David Cross-type character on the can. I realize that not all spokespeople are the most attractive. Colonel Sanders, anyone? But for some reason this pic just screams "Child molester mugshot" to me. Perhaps it's the beard, or the glasses, or the bald head (sorry D.) or all three.

Yet I did buy them, after all.

I actually thought he looked a little more Chris Elliot. I would eat a cookie Chris Elliot made.

"Yeah, bitches. My macaroons are the bomb. Gaze upon my visage and be thankful."

I can totally see him saying that in a Kip-from-NapoleonDynamite-kinda way.

I'm a teacher. Apparently this means I must know EVERY answer to EVERY question in all of creation. Heaven help me if I make a spelling error. I'm also a wife & "new Mommie" (shudder). Don't get me wrong, I love my babies, but the phrase "new mommie" has got to go. It just conjures up images of scrunchies & sweat pants in my mind. Phooey.
