Tell Her You Love Her, with Bass
the American Chocolate Bass in its natural habitatIt’s not even New Year’s Eve yet, and already the stores are stocking up on Valentine’s Day candy and cards. Holiday creep: it’s not just for Christmas anymore!
I had a nice moment of V-Day absurdity yesterday. Walking down a grocery store isle, I happened to see one of the strangest candy gifts ever: a milk chocolate bass, wrapped in silver-scaled foil and sold in a red box that declares “YOU’RE A KEEPER.” I think the tree-branch-and-flannel motif on the box is an especially nice touch, myself.
In a couple of months I’ll be feeling my usual seething hatred for this holiday, single as I always am this time of year. For now, though, I’m just enjoying the weirdness. You can buy a candy fish for your own special someone right here.
Update: This is too clever/silly not to recommend — scientist valentine cards! My favorite is Charles Darwin. “I select you. Naturally!”
