The Importance of Consistancy
To the shock of all, not only am I not doing some lame things-I'm-thankful-for post, I'm not even going to start talking about Christmas, yet. No, I'm still obsessing about the horror of Halloween. Namely, the Tootsie Roll Variety Pack of candy that I bought.
The fact that the Tootsie Roll Variety Pack has Dots in it -- for no apparent reason -- pales in comparison to this:
I am one of those freaks who loves the non-chocolate variety of Tootsie Rolls. There are orange, lime, lemon and -- inexplicably veering from the fruit theme -- vanilla. The vanilla Tootsie Roll comes in a blue wrapper, as seen on the right in the photo above.
Now, one might assume, according to the color, that the Tootsie POP, shown on the left, is a vanilla Tootsie Pop. But NO NO NO NO NO! One would be WRONG. For the BLUE Tootsie Pop is RASPBERRY.
I cannot get my mind around this.
First of all, the blue-wrapped Tootsie Pop is a very recent addition to the Pop line-up and is, therefore, unnecessary, unfamiliar and utterly frightening. I don't want exciting updates, people -- I want consistancy. I want good old fashioned reliability. I am forty, and anything that strays from the norm upsets my bowel schedule.
Even more disturbing is the fact that the raspberry Tootsie Pop and the vanilla Tootsie Roll share a color. Is pink not good enough for the raspberry Tootsie Pop? There are no watermelon or cherry Tootsie Pops, so it's not like pink was taken! I don't understand this decision to assign the same color to two completely different flavors!
I want whomever is responsible to step-up and take his flogging like a man. I'm tempted to write a letter to the company, but I'm sure that Grandpa Simpson has already done so. Now you kids help Wenchie find her purse.

Ah, but it's probably blue raspberry. *snicker* Yeah, I know...
