319/365 - Her Fame Grows ;o)

318/365 - Her Fame Grows ;o)

This weekend, we got our complimentary greeting cards and magnets with Trixie's "I Has a Hotdog" photo. I'll try to take better photos of the packaging soon. (This was the only one I took that didn't turn out blurry in the poor light from that rainy day...)

112/365 - Ahlgrens Bilar

112/365 - Ahlgrens Bilar

This morning, I was putting away Donald's candy from Sweden (from the Christmas care package) and thought it would make a good photo of the day. Someone knows what he likes. ;o)

111/365 - Nerds

111/365 - Nerds

(This is what happens when you think that you took more-- and better and more interesting-- photos than you actually did, so that when the 2/3-hour final-season premiere of LOST you were watching goes off, you think about Project 365, figure that you must have something worth posting for the day, shrug, and go brush your teeth. Oops... So, poorly lit snaps of candy and candy boxes it is!)

Nerds are tiny bits of fruit-flavored candy-- something I remember eating as a kid. This is actually two photos-- one of part of the back of their current box design and one of the "Nerds" themselves. (Why they're called "Nerds", I haven't a clue.)

When I snapped the top part, I assumed it was the same as the last box of Wonka candy I bought, and I was sure it specifically encouraged kids to read Roald Dahl's books. (He's the man who wrote about Willy Wonka's marvelous chocolate factory, among other things. The line of Wonka candies are based on his fictional creations.) I thought that would at least give me something to write here, since it's not every day that a candy box promotes reading. Sadly, this box doesn't seem to have the same design as the other, so I'm stuck just telling you about it. (You're welcome. ;o))

94/365 - Scary Trivial Pursuit Game Box Lady

94/365 - Scary Trivial Pursuit Game Box Lady

Donald and I played Trivial Pursuit on Saturday.  After we packed everything back into the box, I noticed something odd about it. This was the 25th anniversary edition of the game, and the box designers went a little crazy. It's bright! It's metallic/foiled! It's holographic! It's also embossed, including the face of the woman on the lid. When you tilt the box in certain directions, the way the light hits her embossed face makes for a creepy effect.

(Cue the sinister music.)
"Come!  Play a game of Trivial Pursuit-- if you dare!  Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha!!"

Ok.  What can I say?  Maybe I was lightheaded from lack of caffeine.  ;o)
