Smell the Squirrels

 Smells like pictures around here today! There're fun comments to go with 'em.

I know I made a joke about it when I saw the name of these Whiffies figures a few months ago. Whiff! This time I caught them in the clearance aisle and realized they look like squirrels, and as a fan of "squirrels" we picked up a pack... And then later we went back and picked up the rest! I mean, look at these adorable things! And they smell! I mean, ...in a good way.

At the very least, you can use them as air fresheners! If you look on the bottom front of the package, there's a code clearly stamped on it. You can use my checklist to see which two squirrels you get. So if you only want the popcorn one, that's stamped with a "6" as the last number, and is always packed with the caramel one, too. The Super Rare one that smells like sprinkles will randomly substitute for either figure, but that squirrel is hollow and filled with sprinkles, so if you feel like looking foolish you can shake the package and listen carefully, to tell if it's in there.

One more picture of the Whiffies. This waffle cone one smells closest to the Honey Teddy Grahams we feed the real neighborhood squirrels. And even though the set is labeled as "Ice Cream Shop" there's a cheeky one that smells like... pickles! Which you can imagine is included because the "test kids" probably all laughed when they smelled it and demanded it be included.

There's a lot of Guardians of the Galaxy figures in the Thor: Love and Thunder Happy Meals considering they only got a little bitty cameo at the beginning of the movie. 

I went over to the new warehouse that's right down the street from the old one. I wanted to get some pictures, but it's just a boring big warehouse. We haven't quite moved in yet but... we're workin' on it!

Racks! Kind of neat to see construction junk in progress. When else are you going to see something like this? They don't exactly look like tracks, but can you imagine this is for a roller coaster? Wouldn't that be awesome?!

Those spiders are living here now. The silouettes look like perfect Halloween decorations, but those are real spiders. For now.

Speaking of Halloween, this floor drain just looked plain creepy. I know this type of thing has real uses, but also looks like it could be used to dispose of... things. What kind of things? Don't worry about it!

Dueling squirrels! There's one on the ground, waiting it's turn at the munchies. I'm not entirely sure, but these two act like siblings. Kind of jumping around together and being oddly polite in a cute way.

Somebody at work doubted my love of "hot stuff" so I took a picture to show them a typical Friday night. For the record, these were "good" jalapenos that were nice and hot. Sometimes you get them and they are just above regular green peppers.

That night we mixed chili and cheese, and bumped it up with a little bit of the Mrs. Renfro's Ghost Pepper Dip. That's the real hotness test. How much Ghost Pepper to add in. Even as a fans of hot sauces, we have to give that stuff the respect it deserves.

Boom. I'm getting hungry just looking at this picture. That chili dip was a lot more filling that just the cheeses we normally use, and we were quite stuffed. That weekend we watched the two Blade Runner movies, I think. So this is definitely the type of thing you stretch out the eating of, like, during a movie.

Is this too far? Where's the botanist? This sounds like it's true but also maybe a little false. Did anybody think about asking the plant what it identifies as?

Hahaha what an awesome clever name, Hot Wheels. Spoiler Alert! Because the car has a spoiler!

Another thing that made me laugh in the store. INFLATABLE DARTBOARD? Hope your aim is good, because you only get one shot at it! POW!

The hilarious merchandise is on a roll today. These Newborn Unicorn Squad figures some with.... color change diapers! Hahahaha gross! No matter if it's yellow or any other color, it's surely going to be disgusting.

In a skit where the Three Stooges are playing detectives, Moe says he is Detective Number One and holds up his pointer finger, then Larry claims he is Detective Number Two, and holds up his second finger. Was this the same gesture back then as it is now? Can I say "Larry Bird"?

Do I even want to know what kind of mental torture must be in this box to teach your kids how to "forgive"?  I wonder if the choking hazard warning on the bottom has anything to do with it? Also, it's on clearance, so... I'm sorry...?

This looks like the same bottle of hot sauce but with two different labels on it. I knew Retsuko got some rage, but Godzilla-level rage? Also funny to think about Godzilla stomping around to death metal music, too.

Everyone calls Bubble Tea "Boba Tea" anyway, why not make some Star Wars bucks off of it? Boba Fett is like "What"?

When I glanced at this package, I thought the person included was some kind of villain, due to the mask. Turns out it's just poorly-printed sunglasses. She's not going to poach that giraffe after all. I was worried there for a moment.

They keep making them, and I keep laughing at it. "Happy" Unicorn bubble gun! This one shows the unicorn at the bottom apparently named "Fun" which sounds about right.

Here's a neat looking water tank with an attached hose gun on it. It's a super cute character but if you look closely you can see the printing is not quite right. The left arm is printed near the tail, but there's a contour of the arm waving in front of the face! Busted!
