One of the things people (okay, just Yan) tease me about is my “addiction” to chicken nuggets. I’ve even posted my recipe for making a “one minute meal” with them to my blog, and I’ve even made converts out of those brave enough to get past the spicy scent of Slap Ya Mama and Tabasco.
So imagine my joy when I saw this article in the news:
That’s right, Usain Bolt eats chicken nuggets and he’s the fastest man in the world. Not the fattest man in the world. Ahem!
Thanks to delaying tactics — such as showing Barry a bunch of Dane Cook videos, including this one on how women win arguments, and this one on “crying” until a friend of mine began bragging about her sexual conquest(s) in an A/V chat, the foot-long sandwich got a chance to work its way far enough through my digestive tract to make the results useless.
So no puking, no nausea, but a few flavorful burps.
Some food tastes good even the second time around.
Eating a foot-long tuna sub sandwich with chips and a medium drink right before going to the gym will result in me feeling sick and nauseous, and possibly puking my guts out.
A long time ago (well, at my last job), our office recruiter, who is a huge fan of “Lord of the Rings” (and who, I suspect, had a massive crush on Orlando Bloom), acquired some Kinder Eggs.
She also liked chocolate, too, which meant she could combine her love for LoTR and her love of chocolate with Kinder Eggs.

For those who don’t know, Kinder Eggs are chocolate candy eggs that you crack open to reveal a small plastic container with a toy inside.
They are also illegal in the United States (as explained in the Wikipedia entry)…
Kinder Eggs containing toys are not suitable for children under the age of three due to the small parts which may be ingested or inhaled. They are sold all over the world excluding the United States, where the 1938 Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, prohibits embedding “non-nutritive items” in confections. Additionally, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall on the eggs in 1997. Kinder Egg-like confections are available, but only in a form filled with small candies and/or stickers. There are some stores in the United States that sell genuine Kinder Eggs, often in conjunction with other imported British or other European sweets, although their importation is technically illegal due to the 1938 law and 1997 recall.[1]
Why does this come to mind? Well, given that my last posting was about the hilarious Pole Position commercial, that led me to this disturbing Kinder Egg advertisment, which seems to involve Humpty Dumpty talking about “choco-doobies” and saying stuff like “me scrooble now” before committing hari kari by throwing himself off of a wall after cracking an egg (murder-suicide?) to reveal the toy inside.
Betsy, who is better known in my circle of friends as the cool chick who sometimes preaches at my church, posted a hilarious blog entry which I’ll cut ‘n paste because so many people seem to be afraid to click any link that may take them near the word church.
From her funkyfatgirl.blogspot.com posting:
what on earth would possess you to attach this sticker to a food product? Honestly.
They were good, though.
For some reason, that posting just cracks me up.
