26 February 1998

I figured you all needed to know.

They have made a new color marshmallow chick. You would think someone would have stopped them. It is a non-food color.


It is, perhaps, art at this point. The same sort of art as wrapping small Carribean islands in long swaths of bright fabric. The kind of art where you look at it and yes, it does make you think. You are thinking, "Maybe I could get a grant and tp my neighbor's house, the one with that dog. Ayup."

I imagine it must have taken nerve to stand up in a meeting, with a row of differently colored chick-shaped blobs on a tray, and present this as the chick of choice for '98. I can see a bunch of highly-paid Suits around a table, seriously discussing the issue. Heh!


I suppose it's a trend. M & M did blue first. But the chickmakers did it brighter.

Some of my friends might remember The Noodles. This is brighter. This is jam-shorts sun-visor hi-lighter neon blue.

I had to get some.

$.88, at the WalMart in Hudson NH, and probably the one near you.

They've got several colors of tp, too.
