Happy Hallow
Weenie from the staff of Soapinthebathroom! Even though I'm 19 years-old, I will
be participating in the trick-or-treating festivities this year. I figure, since
I went through the trouble of making a JEM costume (yes, I'm actually being Jem
for Hallowe'en, pictures to follow sometime next week), I deserve the free
candy,
dammit!
At any rate, you hardcore 80s wrestling fans might notice Hulk
Hogan and Junk Yard Dog in the third panel. I needed "big imposing guys",
and I didn't feel like drawing new ones, which is why you may also notice that
the two wrestlers are done in watercolours. They were for an art project of mine
last year.:)
This
is a truthful comic...based on a sad and depressing moment in my life. Oh hey,
go check out that banana-chocolate Yoo-Hoo! It's pretty darn good.
Last week
I opened up the food cabinet and saw a Betty Crocker product. I decided it was
time to call them. I located the phone number, called and...well... this:
Phone:
beep
Guy #1: Hello, this is Troy of the General Mills Co. How may I help you?
Me:
Uh.. I thought this was Betty Crocker
G1: It is.
Me: Yeah, I have two questions.
G1:
Okay...
Me: First, I want to know where I can get cherry Fruit Wrinkles?
G1:
...that's not really my department... next
Me: I also want Pudding Roll-Ups,
pudding in disguise
G1: I'm going to go ahead and transfer you..
Phone:
*smooth jazz hits*
Guy #2: Heya, this is Mike of the General Mills Co. How
may I help you
Me: Is this also Betty Crocker?
G2: Yes...
Me: Okay, two
questions.. First, where can I get cherry Fruit Wrinkles?
G2: Oh wow! Yeah......
they don't make those anymore... Man, I wish they did. I loved those! I know exactly
what you're talking about!!
Me: Why don't they make them?
G2: Well, they
weren't selling too well, you know... Stacking up in the warehouses. More of a
debit to the company
Me: Oh... Well, then I want some Pudding Roll-Ups, pudding
in disguise!
G2: Hmmm... You know, I don't remember that one. Looks like we
don't make those anymore either
Me: Crap... I'm hungry. Well, is there any
way I can get these fine products back?
G2: You know what, I'm going to put
a request in for Fruit Wrinkles. Here's what it will say "I really like them!!!"
Me:
Hey, that's great!!!
We then discussed a survey, that his boss refused to tell him the purpose of. After correcting the @soapinthebathroom.com address several times I have yet to receive it.
