Mmm…resilient.
February 8th, 2006A couple of weeks ago, my sister, her husband, and my little nephew came down to spend the day with me. After a lovely lunch, we stopped by the crazy Asian grocery store that I’ve mentioned before. It’s called the Golden Phoenix, but I have lovingly shortened it to “The Go Pho”. I visit there pretty frequently these days.
My BIL was delighted to find his favorite lychee candy there, and bought a bag to take home.
Yesterday I received this email from him:
Hey, so I was eating this delicious lychee candy that I bought at the Go Pho, a big ol’ trippy Asian market near sallypnut’s house, when I decided to read the back of the bag. the warning is great, and culminates in one of my favorite lines ever:
“When you choke this in throat, lie prone and vomit it by beating back at once.â€
makes me glad I made it through the bag without serious injury.
BIL?
That is freakin’ hilarious! Reminds me of this toy I saw with stickers over several parts of the box. Remove the stickers, only to see “Grab my neck and shake me!”
BIL = brother-in-law
I really want to see what happens when you heat and freeze this product. I am picturing implosions, or something, but also curious why this would even come up …
Also, so I am lying prone to vomit, on my back? No, because someone needs to be rapidly beating my back. So, I am lying prone on my stomach while someone is beating my back and I am vomiting with my face on the ground? This is not the kind of experience I am expecting out of a tasty treat.
I think I will stick with ordinary jelly products.
I’d have to say, that line is up there, if not completely surpassing, “all your base are belong to us.”
