Has anyone read The Chocolate Touch? It was a kid's book based off of the Midas Touch fable, except instead of everything turning into gold that the protagonist touches, everything turns into chocolate. One of my favorite parts when I initially read it was the kid's toothpaste turning into a delicious chocolatey mess.
Um.
So.
Speculoos Spread.I've been kinda obsessing over it ever since
ocicatsy shared an
article about controversy surrounding said spread. Mostly because it seems like the perfect accompaniment to nutella--because it's GROUND-UP COOKIES that you can spread like peanut butter. HOW IS THIS NOT A GREAT IDEA? I do take a little bit of issue with the fact this: "As [the Speculoos] company sets its sights on the United States, it faces entrenched competition from peanut butter. Peanut butter may have more nutrients, but Mr. Boone said, “this is something new, with no nuts in it, at a time when more and more people have nut allergies.”
Yeahhh, uh, I don't know if I'd put peanut butter and cookie paste on the same page--maybe once I start replacing my pasta with Twizzlers.
...I also recently watched Hellraiser (due in no small part to it streaming on Netflix). This was the kind of movie that freaked the fuck out of me as a child--going into Blockbuster and seeing all the VHS box cover art in the horror section had me vow off 80's horror for the longest time.
WOW IT'S CHEESY
WOW IT'S HILARIOUS
WOW IT'S LIKE SOME BAD ROMANCE ABOUT WHEN A WOMAN LOVES A MAN WHO LOVES A BOX THAT MAKES HIM LOOK LIKE AN ANATOMICAL MODEL
Very romantic, you guys.
Let's just say that the scariest parts of Hellraiser are when this woman
is getting naked/macking on dudes. WHAT.
Yeah, and Pinhead's only really in it for maybe three minutes tops. LAME. After seeing this, and having recently seen
Runaway (directed by Michael Crichton), I am convinced that book authors should NEVER be allowed to direct any movie EVER. (PROVE ME WRONG, INTERNET!)
