When I got there, I discovered a package of fudge - from Uranus. Uranus, Missouri, that is.
I had the giggles all the way home after I opened the box in the truck and saw their packaging:
And just about the time I got myself calmed down, Lisa just had to say, "Well, you do realize that Missouri is the Show Me State, right?"
When I used to commute in Los Angeles there were a few times I got behind a truck from the Culver City Meat Company. On the back of the trucks was their company slogan - "You Can't Beat Our Meat". I guess beating their meat was so important to them they had to advertise it.
ReplyDeleteTheir billboards are funny as hell. Surprised they can get away with some of them, but then again this is Missouri (and I live here so I expect it).
ReplyDeleteYep, last time I drove past there I laughed out loud. The fudge is good, but not great, but the store is worth stopping at just for the neat stuff they have, and the hundreds of items with all the innuendo. You won't stop smiling if you enter their store.
DeleteI have a gay friend that I sent lots of stuff to and he loved it.
LOL Nice work. B.
DeleteA few years back I signed up two of my dearest friends - a gay male couple, one of whom has been my friend since we were in high school; they are my youngest son's "fairy godparents" and known to all my children as Uncle Mark and Aunt Bob - for membership in the National Cornhole Association. When their membership cards arrived in the mail Bob opened the envelope and said, "What the hell is this?!" Mark looked at the letterhead and said, "Shell did it."
Same a some of the radiator shops I've seen over the years when they advertise:
ReplyDeleteBest Place In Town to Take A Leak....
How do they advertise for help?
ReplyDeleteJob opening: fudgepacker
Location: Uranus
That's exactly right
DeleteHere in N Georgia, our best BBQ, Jim's Smokin Q, slogan is "You can smell our Butts for Miles."
ReplyDeleteWell Kenny... You didn't say how it tasted?
ReplyDeleteHe sent 4 different types and I've only tried the chocolate so far but I have to say that it tastes pretty damned good!
DeleteI really thought they would be closer to Kansas City.
ReplyDeleteWe were behind a septic tank truck in Colorado.
ReplyDeleteThe message was "Stay back! This ain't milk we're hauling!"
Thank you WC - I've already ordered a box for my GA hunting buddy. Finally the PERFECT gift lmao
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day.

I would have guessed Provincetown, MA.

My son works there. Apparently, it's basically a constantly evolving comedy routine. They recently purchased an El Camino from a defunct chicken joint that has a giant rooster adorning the roof, which they call the cock-a-mino. I hear they are expanding to Indiana.
ReplyDeleteGreat story.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note: Kenny, you're a salty old codger. I can't imagine you 'giggling' over anything.
Give Ms Lisa our love.
I don't know man. Those Uranus Fudge folks seem to a little too scat oriented. I'd smell the product first... Maybe they're German?
ReplyDeleteSitting in the Toyota dealership and the lady next to me wondering why I am laughing.
ReplyDeleteDriving on I-70 in Missouri, we went past a sign advertising a strip joint, and my wife made that same comment about the 'Show Me' state.
ReplyDeleteLove this place, Just outside of Fort Lost-in-the-Woods (Lenard Wood) MO. I was there several years ago as a contractor cleaning up UXO on Cannon Range MO. Air Guard Range on the back side of the fort. I still love kidding my wife about it every time I can. I always tell her that my time in Uranus was the best. She was with me during the OP and hates it. By the way there used to be a strip club right next to the Family Friendly part of the business. At least that is what I was told by my guys, as I stated I was with my luggage and cannot confirm nor deny the presence of loose women.
ReplyDeleteBig Louies.
DeleteOn the same level of "Dicken's Cider"!
