Trader Joe’s Candy Cane Joe Joe’s

Every once in a while I come across something I ate that is so delicious I feel the need to post about it, and categorizing it under “Something I Ate” doesn’t feel like I’m giving it enough credit. So, I created a new sub-category called “Delicious Alert“.

Trader Joe’s has been making there version of Nabisco’s Oreo® cookies called “Joe Joe’s” for a while now. This holiday I (just) found Trader Joe’s holiday version of Joe Joe’s called… Candy Cane Joe Joe’s! This scrumtrulescent cookie is simply two chocolate cookie disks with a creamy center (just like an Oreo® or Joe Joe’s) however the twist is there are bits of real candy cane in the cream!

I have been finding myself snacking on them all day. The peppermint bits of candy cane really complement the chocolate and cream. They are only here for a limited time and will be gone after the holiday season. I plan on stocking up and rationing them for the year.

Target Audience: Furries

Apparently Furries were an undiscovered species to advertisers… until now!

Orangina (which always sounded to me like an orange w/female genitalia) is reaching out to those sultans of sexual deviance, by creating a CGI advert with sex-crazed humanimals.

In this spot (starring Madex) the swarthy BearPimp of the forest, temps an innocent SheDeer into flashdance style golden shower striptease after being driven mad with jealousy by a lapdancing Octopussy.

A friend of mine at the Obey HQ sent this over to me, if your thinking about going you should try to go Friday. Most taggers, wannabe rebels and “fashion” dudes either A) Don’t get up before 11am. B) Are still in High School at this time. or C) Are working stiffs.

I have gone the last few sales and usually have found something that I have added to my wardrobe. Also, if you want your house to match your clothes then head over to The Marry Karnowsky Gallery for the Imperfect Union show. Once there you will find new work by Shepard Fairey.
